Worcester Activists used their extra day this year to make the statement that the radical environmental movement will not be made weak by the multiple levels of governmental and police repression that has come to be known as the Green Scare. We hope that this action will inspire others to continue to fight to stop environmental destruction, cruelty to animals, and social injustice wherever it may be found.

The Activists who took part in this action stand in solidarity with Jeff Luers, who’s draconian sentence was reduced by 13 years yesterday, Worcester’s V-day encounter with the green scare, and in memory of Avalon and Gypsy and all those who have given their lives to the struggle.

We are not afraid. Dissent will not be silenced. It will grow and spread like wildfire.
