[Linda Jupiter]

>>
>> In Defense of Little Lake Valley:
>> An Evening in Fort Bragg with Amanda “Warbler” Senseman and Will  
>> Parrish
>>
>> Tuesday, August 6th at 6 p.m.
>> Fort Bragg Library Community Room, 499 East Laurel St.
>>
>> In Willits, CalTrans is in the process of paving paradise to put up  
>> an unnecessary freeway. It is the most wasteful and destructive  
>> project to take place in Mendocino County in many years. Learn more  
>> about the Bypass directly from people who have been on the  
>> frontlines to stop it.
>>
>> Earlier this year, Amanda "Warbler" Senseman spent 65 days in a  
>> Ponderosa pine tree in the southern interchange area of the Bypass  
>> route, helping to block construction and galvanizing the struggle  
>> to stop the Bypass. She also conducted a 14-day fast to protest  
>> Bypass construction. She will share stories from her time in the  
>> tree, what motivated her, and the outcomes of her action.
>>
>> Will Parrish gained widespread attention when he conducted a 12-day  
>> occupation of a wick drain derrick in Little Lake Valley from June  
>> 20 to July 1, blocking operation of a machine that is in the  
>> process of destroying a vast area of the wetlands for which the  
>> Valley is named. He has written 16 stories for the Anderson Valley  
>> Advertiser about the Bypass and the struggle to stop it. The  
>> trumped-up charges against him for his wick drain driver occupation  
>> have a maximum prison sentence of eight years.  This will be his  
>> first presentation since a SWAT team removed him from the machine.
>>
>> The event also features a screening of the film “How CalTrans Sold  
>> The Willits Bypass”
