New I-69 Resistance Website

stopi69.wordpress.com

A new, comprehensive website for resistance to I-69 was launched earlier this year by activists from the I-69 Listening Project and Roadblock EF! While we will continue to publish updates about the highway and news from actions, the new website will be a clearinghouse for people looking to learn more and get involved in the struggle to stop the NAFTA superhighway monster.

Features include:
-A primer on I-69.
-Information about Evansville and other communities where people are organizing.
-PDFs of campaign literature.
-Ways to get involved.
-Organizing updates.
-Upcoming mobilizations as they are planned.
-And more!
