Behind the " redwood curtain", we recognize the 22nd and the 23rd because

16 year old Christopher Burgess, a native youth, was fatally shot by a Eureka cop on October 23, 2006. We are mobilizing for two continous days of action remembering those who lost their lives to police, fighting against an international politics of cruelty, and building community that recognizes everyone's dignity. October 22 and 23rd: guerilla theater, marches, memorial bike ride, vigil, speak-outs, film screenings, and as always, sharing food, rage, tears and strength together.
