the loraxI really should have mentioned this earlier, but things have been busy around here. This weekend, June 6-8th, we are hosting the Stop I-69 Pledge Camp and Music Festival. I will write more later about why Deep Roots is excited to work with the Stop I-69 campaign, but for now here is some info about the Pledge Camp and Music Festival from stopi69.wordpress.com:

Join folks from around Indiana for a weekend of socializing, sharing skills, discussion, and music! It is a critical time for opposition to Interstate 69, so let’s get together, meet one another, and learn skills and information to help us stop this road. As a culmination of the efforts and energies of hundreds of people who have over the past year signed pledges to resist construction of the road, this camp is sure to be an exciting and empowering space. The Pledge Camp and the I-69 Music Festival have teamed up for a wonderful weekend of education and fun!

Initial List of Workshops:

  • Overview of Interstate 69
  • Non-Violent Civil Disobedience Training
  • Tree Climbing
  • How Interstate 69 Affects Us
  • Blockades and Technical Climbing
  • Women’s and Trans Caucus
  • How Roads Have Been Stopped Elsewhere

Food and camping areas will be provided. Directions and carpool info are listed below.
