support creative direct action against fossil fuel development |
|
Edited on Wed Jan-07-09 12:21 PM by greenman3610
On December 24th we carried a report about Tim DeChristopher’s heroic act of civil disobedience: he went to an auction of public lands and outbid oil and gas companies for 22,500 acres of land — in order to protect it from fossil fuel development. The price? A whopping $1.8 million the University of Utah student doesn’t have.
The downpayment is due on January 9th, a mere $45,000, and on the advice of the legal team working to protect him and keep him out of jail, DeChristopher is trying to raise the money. So far, he’s got $18,000 in hand, and a campaign that’s gaining steam.
... the link for making a contribution is here.

(note: 37,000 collected so far, almost there..)
