Revolutionary Ecology: a commemoration and a celebration of revolutionary resistance and movement solidarity

The event will include a film tribute to Judi, exciting historical exhibit and more.

Marking the moment:
On May 24, people from near and far will gather at 11:30 am to mark the moment of the bomb explosion (just before noon) at the site in Oakland that it blasted through Judi's car, nearly killing her and forever changing the Earth First! movement. There will be music, and a speak-out. The site is in front of Oakland High School, near E.33rd on Park Blvd. Info at 510-548-3113, http://www.judibari.org and Bay Area Coalition for Headwaters Facebook page.

§This Ought to be a Pro Choice Event

The car bombing had nothing to do with Earth First!, which Judi Bari explained to me when I visited her in the hospital. Because she and Darryl sang the "Will the Fetus Be Aborted" song at the abortion clinic, in opposition to a Pro Life group which was there, it enraged the Pro Lifers, resulting in the placement of a car bomb in Judi's Subaru. Judi asked me not to tell this fact while she was still alive, because she did not want to take away focus from the Headwaters campaign. Later, after she left her body, I published a letter in the Anderson Valley Advertiser informing the public of the truth. Therefore, this event at La Pena ought to be a Pro Choice sponsored event! The car bombing had nothing whatsoever to do with Earth First!
