Bechtel Direct Action
On Monday, October 28 a group of global justice activists did a direct action at Bechtel headquarters in downtown San Francisco, demanding that Bechtel drop it's water privatization lawsuit against Bolivia.

Today I accompanied a group of global justice activists on a direct action at the Bechtel Corporation headquarters in downtown San Francisco. Following is a photo essay documenting the day.

Word has it that everyone arrested in conjunction with this action were booked by the SFPD, but all charges were dropped at the arraignment, and everyone was out of jail the same night. Good work, folks!

I fully support your actions and direct action.
I wish I had been there but was already committed to this action with the outcome here.

Your action at Bechtel showed courage and dedication; you should be proud of yourselves! Thank you, both for what you're doing for the planet and for making my little heart glad.
Apa Melanie, me alegra mogollón verte y ver el movimiento y la "Acción Directa".
En El Salvador también estamos con la sensación de que el Movimiento Popular está con ganas de marcha.

Tell Bechtel to go to hell for its reprehensible actions in Bolivia, its law suit against Bolivia and for trying to make money off peoples need for water. Bechtel is a part of the FTAA,NAFTA, WTO free trade which denies FAIR TRADE. THis is but another example of globalization whose interest is not the people, not the other living things of this planet, but is profit driven no matter what the costs to the people and other living creatures of this planet. They are the living hell of this world and belong in hell. They have no conscience, no sense of responsibility or accountability, and who elected them to be our elected and representative rulers? They are a coup de'tat through money, power and the buying of governments, without the people's consent, not only in this nation, but around the world. They are what is rotten in the world and I see that everytime bush and his minions come on the boob tube, in which case he is the boob in the tube.

A big congrats.
Just to express my deep gratitude for such an action. That was a great initiative. I am highly inspired and challenged. Keep it up Sisters and Brothers. We shall overcome. Thanx, mawuli

Bechtel and Shell propose to build a massive Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) receiving and offloading terminal and power plant on the southern end of Mare Island in Vallejo, California. The Bechtel-Shell LNG gas and power plants would be bad for our health and safety, our ability to attract new businesses to Vallejo, our residential property values, our quality of life and our vision for the future.

I'm sitting in the computer lab at UC Berkeley working on a paper on the WaterWAr in Bolivia and came across the photos and story about your day of action. While I was looking thru the photos the song "It's a Wonderful World" happened to come on over my headphones....looking at all you standing up for what is right in this world really made me believe that the world can be a wonderful place. Thank You.
I want to be at the next day of action.
