 Even
now, the corporate media and the employing class promote the myth that
timber workers and environmentalists have nothing in common.
However, as early as 1985, timber workers and environmentalists
began to fight together against unsustainable corporate timber
practices in the “Redwood Empire” of northwestern California. When
long time labor activist Judi Bari joined Earth First! and brought the
IWW back to timber country in 1988, real grassroots opposition began
to grow in timber country.
This book chronicles the early years of these struggles and how a
divided community began to overlook their differences and fight
against the real outside agitators: multinational corporations. The
struggle is no less relevant today as multinational corporations
continue to receive massive bailouts, working people struggle more and
more just to make ends meet, and global warming threatens not only old
growth forests, but civilization as we know it.

The
No Pepper Spray website - Non-violent Headwaters Forest
protesters had pepper spray soaked Q-tips put into their eyes by Humboldt
County law enforcement in 1997. Shocking police videos drew international
outrage when they were broadcast by network TV. The activists sued in federal
court for violation of their 4th Amendment rights by excessive force, and got
a hung jury in their 1998 trial in San Francisco federal court. Instead of
granting a new trial, the judge threw the case out. The activists appealed,
and the 9th Circuit overturned the trial judge and granted a new trial.
Defendants appealed and it went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which
upheld the activists' right to a new trial. At this point the Bari/Cherney
legal team took over representation of the Pepper Spray plaintiffs. They
got the original judge removed from the case for the appearance of bias, and
took the case to trial twice more, finally winning a unanimous jury verdict
in April 2005.  www.albionmonitor.com,

covers the Bari/Cherney bombing case and many other activist issues.

Miller, a very brief treatment based on Brian Glick's War At Home: Covert

COINTELPRO
site by Paul Wolf, an excellent resource on the FBI's sordid
history of domestic covert operations, including the complete "The

The Headwaters Action Video Collective
mission is to use video, film, photography and music to raise consciousness
about environmental and social justice issues. They are based in Humboldt
County, CA, and have produced several outstanding short videos covering
the struggle for the ancient Headwaters Forest. Their "LUNA - The Stafford
Giant Tree-Sit" covers the early part of Julia Butterfly's two-year tree-sit.
Fire in the Eyes covers the infamous sheriff's department use of pepper
spray to torture nonviolent, locked-down demonstrators. HAVC did
extensive work on "Showdown in Seattle - 5 days that shock the WTO" and
"Breaking the Bank - A16" covering the World Bank protests in Washington
DC April 16, 2000. Their films are great organizing tools. (posted
