EARTH DEFENSE WEEK: Occupy the Trees (The Mother Earth Tree Convention)
Occupy Eugene and Cascadia Forest Defenders, in Solidarity with Occupy Wall Street, put an “Occupy the Trees” call-out to activists around the world to protest the destruction of our Earth for the week of April 22-27.
Here in Eugene we had an Earth Defense Day celebration at the park blocks in downtown Eugene, with speakers, music, teach-ins, and food. Activities were planned throughout the week: Monday as Public Lands Day, Tuesday as World Day for Animals, Wednesday as Kids Need Forests Day, Thursday as Eco-feminism Day, and Friday as Global Climate Change Awareness Day. Speakers, musical performances, marches and rallies happened throughout the week.
The Call to Action included 3 main points:
1. Immediate attention and reversal to Global Climate Change which threatens all llife on Earth.
2. Disruption of the Earth-destroying profit machines led by the richest 1% of the world and their government lackies.
3. Ending all Commercial Extraction from Public Lands in all nations of the Earth.
