Festival Season

This year has been colder then usual for our little Berg. That is based on observation not data so it could be I am just bitching about it more then ever and it is normal to freeze your ass off all summer long. Anyway the festival season is upon us. Wrecking the River and others. This weekend Was the First Annual Strawberry Rock Festival. It was an awesome spectacle of peace and music in the Manila Park.

The Music was Amazing. Afro-Punk Fusion I think the one band called their style. They Had a french horn in their brash section which I found very cool. Earlier in the Day I went to Blue lake with a friend for some music and arts.

Of course the Hunger Strike was on my mind. We continue to Educate.

Friday was Cotton Day, the 6th Anniversary of EPD beating Martin Cotton to death. We held a remembrance at Wabash and Broadway. Too busy a week. We need to tell the Gov to end the Torture and we need the City of Eureka to fire these Thugs in the Pictures and any other of the killers on staff so that we can go back to listening to music and being at peace.

Days Of Action

I took part in the National Days of Action Against Police Brutality and the Criminalization of a Generation.

We began at Sunrise on Monday by remembering those killed by the police here in the county of Humboldt. It was shocking to see how many graves the fascists have filled.

We gathered at the Gazebo in Old Town. Food, Music and fellowship followed. Baked blue potatoes and broccoli were on the menu in the rain.

The rain intensified and so did our resolve.

We moved in the rain to EPD and Angie told the bastards what we thought of them.

From there we marched on city hall and I ran my big mouth for a bit.

In Eureka we marched to Cesar Chavez park to have a meal and dry off a bit under a huge tarp our comrade Jack rigged up. We lit candles and feasted. We sang to our favorite "Granny". Martha celebrated her birthday with us with a delicious vegan cake.

In Eureka we call it the days of action and march through the city to remember Chris Burgess, a young man shot down by the EPD on the 23rd of October. In the morning we served breakfast at city hall.

We ended our Action with a little food at Highland Park and parted with this chant.
