Solidarity actions continue in opposition to the construction of the I-69 NAFTA Superhighway through Indiana. On June 3, Potomac Earth First! and others held a protest outside the offices of design and engineering company Michael Baker Jr. Inc. in Fredrick, MD. On June 5, an anti-I69 banner was dropped across an I-64 overpass in Louisville, Kentucky.

Meanwhile, the ongoing treesit in southern Indiana is in need of support. Roadblock Earth First! has issued the following call for more treesitters:

“Its been over two weeks since tree sits were set up along the I-69 route in Southern Indiana, and they’ve been going strong ever since. The reactions of farmers in the area has been overwhelmingly positive, and momentum is continuing to grow. This is an open call out for folks to come to Indiana to occupy sits, help with ground support, or put up more sits of your own. All skill levels are needed and climb training can be provided for anyone who needs it. Please email roadblockefyahoo (dot) com to let us know you are coming and visit stopi69.wordpress.com for more info.”

Remember that there are lots of ways to help stop this Corridor of the Future! One way is by signing up for r X-69: a month of action, with different affinity groups each pledging to shut down construction for one day. Affinity groups sign up for a day between one and 30, but the starting date will not be known until construction actually begins. Contact Roadblock EF! for more info and sign up today!
