<dd>Resist HB213! <br>
<dd>Fight the Green Scare in PA! <br>
<dd>Take it to Governor Rendell's office: <br>
<dd>200 S Broad St (Broad and Walnut) <br>
<dd>Friday, April 7th @ 4:30pm <br><br>
<dd>On April 15th, Governor Rendell is due to sign HB213, a bill passed
by both the PA House and Senate. The bill terms anyone who performs civil
disobedience (even non-violent) against people or firms engaged in
resource extraction, agricultural research, or animal experimentation, as
an "ecoterrorist." <br><br>
<dd>The penalty suffered is significantly more severe than for the same
protests in other issues; for example, blockading an abortion clinic is
fine, but blockading a corporate building that experiments on animals is
"terroristic." Punishment includes up to 40 years in prison,
and/or up to $100,000 in fines (not including restitution). This bill is
just one of a series of crackdowns on resistance against the abuse of
corporations and firms, and a special-interest legislation that threatens
our ability to free speech, assembly, and mobilization against
injustices. <br><br>
<dd>The text of the bill is available online at: <br>
