September 17, 1998, Houston activist David Nathan “Gypsy” Chain was killed when a tree was felled by a MAXXAM logger while activists were documenting illegal logging on MAXXAM land near Grizzly Creek State Park. Today, we honor his spirit and celebrate his life, for he has become an inspirational legend.

We will also have Shunka, a forest defender from California who witnessed David’s death, and Jeremy, an old friend/ roommate who will be playing with his band, Dubtex, at the benefit show "Gypsy's Legacy Rocks on" Friday, Sept 26.

Freedom Friday at MAXXAM

Fridays, September 19, 4:30-6 pm

Houston corporation MAXXAM is mowing down our ancient Redwood forest. We must NOT allow MAXXAM to take away our children’s future, demolish the habitat for countless creatures, or ruin the quality of life for Humboldt County citizens.

Be a part of Freedom Fridays as we fight for the freedom of the earth that is being held captive by these corporate raiders.

Freedom Fridays are held at MAXXAM headquarters, 5847 San Felipe, and include posters, candlelight vigils, meditation, props, and street theater. Bring your drum(s), guitarre, musical instruments, and anything else you can think of for a music circle. For more information or to help organize, call 713-858-0074 or visit www.SacredRedwood.org.
