I-69 Solidarity Window Smashing
Jul 29th, 2008
From a communiqué posted to Infoshop.org:
“In the pre-dawn hours of July 27th, some enraged Hoosiers threw rocks through the window of Chase Bank in downtown Bloomington, Indiana. This action is in solidarity with all those resisting Interstate 69, the NAFTA superhighway being built between Canada and Mexico. This small bit of sabotage comes one day before the National Day of Mobilization Against I-69 on July 28th….these insurrectionists hope to see widespread attacks on financial institutions and corporations. They are responsible for the destruction of our world and the transformation of “resources” (i.e. our lives and our earth) into capital to enrich our oppressors.
“Against capitalism and confinement, for the growth of the wild and our rage and joy….”
The action appears to have been symbolic, as there does not seem to be any direct connection between Chase and I-69 (a Corridor of the Future).
