July 9 EF! Day of Action Against I-69

We’ve heard from a number of places that a day of action against I-69 happened across southwestern Indiana. This is the statement of Roadblock Earth First! but we’ll supplement that by posting media accounts in the upcoming days.

Earth First! July 9th Day of Action Against I-69 Across Southwestern Indiana

For the past several months, the Indiana Department of Transportation has been
attempting to rapidly and covertly move forward with their plans for the
construction of I-69. Eviction proceedings have already begun for half a dozen
families whose homes once lay along the first two miles of the proposed route.
These people have been physically removed from their homes or will be removed in
the coming week, and, unless I-69 is stopped, in the coming years over four
hundred more homes will find themselves similarly replaced by cold concrete.

This afternoon, in solidarity with those families removed from their once lively
homes, actions were taken against the Indiana Department of Transportation across
the state. Two I-69 planning offices (section 1’s in Oakland City and section 2’s
in Petersburg) were themselves the subject of eviction proceedings at 2:30 PM as
“Hayduke’s Moving Company” moved their contents out of the offices and into the
street; The section 4 office on the westside of Bloomington was shut down for the
day after Earth First!ers dropped a banner that read “Stop I-69″ onto its roof and
50 people assembled outside in protest. The downtown Bloomington section 5 office
was the subject of two demonstrations: A small office invasion at 2:30 PM and a
raucus march of 40 people at 4 pm. Additionally, Earth First!ers hung more
banners across Bloomington, one of which read “For our farms, forests and futures-
Resist I-69″.

Until evictions and construction are brought to a halt, individuals will continue
to struggle in defense of their homes and against a superhighway project that will
not benefit any of the communities of southwest Indiana.

In solidarity,
Roadblock Earth First!

    Hello,

    Could you point me to a source on the beginning of eviction proceedings and people being removed from their homes? I’d like to blog about it, but I don’t want to do so without documentation.

    Hayduke lives!
