OPEN RESCUE OF OVER 175 EGG LAYING CHICKENS.

August, Czech Republic.

via: MichalKolesar

ENGLISH:

“Patrols are at their places and report a clear area. Lukáš and I make our way through the tall nettles to the fence. The sky is cloudy, the heavy stench of the poultry house is in the air. The halls are quiet, only fans can be heard in some.

In a few minutes we are inside one of them. We are taking some chickens. They don’t have many feathers anymore.

In the past few months, we have transported a total of 175 chickens to their new homes in this way.

Thanks to everyone who is with us.

MK“

CZECH:

“Hlídky jsou na svých místech a hlásí čistý prostor. Prodiráme se s Lukášem vysokými kopřivami k plotu. Nebe je zatažené, ve vzduchu visí těžký smrad drůbežárny. Haly jsou tiché, jen v některých jsou slyšet větráky.

Za pár minut jsme uvnitř jedné z nich. Bereme několik slepic. Moc peří už nemají.

V několika minulých měsících jsme takto odvezli do nových domovů celkem 175 slepic.

Díky všem, kdo jste s námi.

MOUNTAIN VALLEY PIPELINE’S WORKS RESUMED… WITH BLEACH IN THE ENGINES.

August, Appalachia USA.

via: Unravel.

“We heard the stays were lifted and construction on the Mountain Valley Pipeline has resumed. I wonder if they’ve noticed some issues with their machines? As they continue to work, bleach eats further and further into their engines. By now, the damage should be done.

Protest alone is not enough. Despite years of Appalachia residents saying they do not want this pipeline-in the courts, through protest, by nonviolent direct action like locking to machines-the project is being pushed through anyways. Join us to stop this pipeline while we still can!”

ORGANISE FOR THE WEEK OF SOLIDARITY WITH ANARCHIST PRISONERS!

International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners 23 – 30 August 2023

It’s time again to remember and honour those who can’t be with us. Friends, fellow anarchist, animal liberationists and anti fascists. All those who are fighting governments, animal abusers, fascists, for a better life, and being held captive by the state.

During the coming week there are several ways to show solidarity with prisoners. Write letters, drop a banner, do graffiti, write a zine, record a podcast, or throw a loud party outside your local prison. Let our friends behind bars know that we have not forgotten them. Let the world know that we will never give up fighting against the bastards who put them behind bars, those who are destroying the world.

You can find more and relevant information about the solidarity week, list of prisoners, at the web site: https://solidarity.international/

UNTIL ALL ARE FREE – FUCK EVERY PRISON

ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS SABOGATE A HUNTER’S VEHICLE.

20th August, Lleida Catalunya.

According to local press, a hunter’s vehicle was vandalised during Sunday 20th of August in Lleida, Catalunya. Windscreen wipers were broken off, side mirrors smashed or broken and the windscreen window was also smashed.

The activists left graffiti on the vehicle reading “Killing for the pleasure of killing” to send a message to the hunter.

The pro-hunt lobby is calling the action a “hate crime” and is asking for tougher action by the police, as it seems this is not the first time hunters have been at the receiving end of direct action.

SUPPORT EPONA, IN PRISON FOR DEFENDING HERSELF.

Epona Rose is a woman of trans experience who was attacked on the street in Kinlani/ Flagstaff, Arizone by a group of men while two or more watched. The men were drunk and sexually harrassing her, the attack escalated into threats of rape and then physical violence when they realized she was transgender.

Epona defended herself bravely against this attack and did not call the police. She was targeted when cops arrived and they arrested her.

She is currently being held on the men’s side of the Coconino County Jail in segregation with one hour a day out of her cell, where she has struggled to gain access to her prescribed medications.

Current bond is set for $500,000 but the support team is fiercely working to overturn such an excessive amount and the outrageous charges.

The longer Epona is in jail, the much more at risk she is exposed to as a trans woman& abolitionist.

We cannot let Epona be made an example out of demanding the basic rights of genderqueer, third gender, Two Spirit, and/or trans people to exist!

“In the year of a state of emergency, I’m still alive… I defended myself against three men. They classified me as male in here. I don’t feel safe around other men”- Epona

For her commissary, phone and potential bond, please send donations to her family’s accounts specifying the donations are for Epona.

SHUTELBITDOWN SIEGE REACHES 100 DAYS.

22nd of July marked the International Day of Action for Prisoners which demanded the release of the 6 currently incarcerated Palestine Action actionists. The group states: “As our campaign has intensified over the years, so has the state’s response to us. There are six actionists currently inside British jails, and over 100 more who may face prison. From denying some actionists the right to legal defences, to refusing bail and introducing new case law, the state is doing everything it can to try and stop us. But whilst Palestine remains occupied, and the Israeli military remains weaponised by arms made in Britain, we will not stop until our targets are shut down.”

For a continuous support against the legal actions faced by PalAction actionists, the network is asking for folks to get involved in Defendant Support to support more than 100 Palestine actionists who face trial for taking direct action to dismantle the production of Israeli weapons on British soil. The following support is needed: Arrestee Support at a police station, Mentoring Support for those awaiting trial or sentencing, Court Support (solidarity from the public gallery or outside, e.g. flag waving, leafleting, talking to the public), and Letter Writing to those detained. If you want to help, get in touch with PalAction through this link: tinyurl.com/ffphp2fr

Among others, the trial against three actionists who disrupted the production of Israeli drone engines took place, with a verdict being given on 7th September. In support of the actionists, PalAction is calling for folks to mobilise from 9.30AM on 7th September at Walsall Magistrates Court, WS2 8HA as the verdict is delivered.

Meanwhile, the siege of Leicester’s Israeli weapons factory Elbit has reached 100 days with the actionists still standing strong. So far, this action has disrupted Elbit’s work and blocked its gates.

Within the last month, the siege was strengthened by further action. An autonomous underground cell has sent a drone to land on the roof of Leicester’s Israeli weapons factory with a special package. PalAction states that “the military drone makers get a taste of their own warfare”. Also, PalAction recently blocked the sewage pipes of Elbit using concrete, leaving Elbit clueless to the reasons behind the blockage. PalAction explains that this is an innovative way to respond to “the Israeli military launched air strikes and ground raids against Jenin refugee camp, murdering 13 Palestinians and displaced thousands more”. If you want to join the siege, PalAction is asking to bring a sleeping bag and head down to UAV Tactical Systems, LE19 1TP.

SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF MINK RELEASED FROM A FUR FARM.

August, Wisconsin USA

received anonymously via email:

“a few nights ago we visited olsen fur farm (smieja) at w22875 state road 121 in independence wisconsin. it’s operational for now, but maybe releasing several hundred mink has a chance to close it for good. we hope many of the mink enjoy their freedom in the wild and that this farm will be unable to breed thousands upon thousands of them in future years. they have an opportunity now to cut their losses and leave the fur industry forever.

fur farms exist only for fashion and profit. though the industry has declined significantly in the past decade, hundreds of thousands of animals are bred and murdered for their fur every year. even if these minks lives in the wild are cut short by nature or human intervention, the farm would have undoubtedly slaughtered them all. there is real joy in bearing witness to these animals getting their first taste of freedom. we hope this action inspires others to take similar action for animals near them. with a little planning and a few cheap tools, you too can liberate hundreds of creatures in a few short hours. until all cages are empty, for humans and non human animals alike. free them ALL”

SUPPORT JESSICA REZNICEK

In 2021, Jessica Reznicek was sentenced to eight years in prison. August 11, 2023, she has served two of those years. Jessica is incarcerated at FCI Waseca.

Jessica was sentenced to prison for taking action to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016, including direct action by dismantling construction equipment and pipeline valves. Due to the court classifying Jessica as a domestic terrorist, her prison sentence was significantly extended.

Jessica is 40 years old. On their website, her support crew describes Jessica as follows: “Jessica has a deep love for nature, camping, swimming, hiking, theology, music, gardening, laughter and eco-sustainability, as well as a commitment to self-discovery through deep relationships cultivated in intentional faith-based community living.”

Right now there is a campaign going on with the aim of Jessica not being classified as a domestic terrorist, which would mean that her time in prison would be greatly shortened (by roughly halving the prison sentence).

There are several ways to support Jessica, like writing her letters.

More information about Jessica, how to support and show solidarity, as well signing the campaign, can be found on the website: http://supportjessicareznicek.com

(Jessica’s support crew can also be found on Facebook and Twitter, where information about Jessica’s case is continuously updated)
