COMMUNIQUE SENT BY THE EARTH LIBERATION FRONT
During the evening of March 5th, members of the earth liberation front
descended upon The Old Navy Outlet Center in downtown Huntington, Long Island,
NY. We smashed over 8 10'x10' insulated plate glass windows and one neon sign.
This action served as a protest to Old Navy's owners, the Fisher family's
involvement in the clearcutting of old growth forest in the Pacific Northwest.
These actions will continue until the Fisher family pulls economic support from
the lumber industry, regardless of whether with the Pacific Lumber Company or
otherwise.
In the past week, mother nature has blessed the Northeast with snow, and we are
reminded of our brothers and sisters in the Northwest, and their struggle to
preserve what mother nature has blessed them with, the forests in the land that
they call home. We will not sit idly by, and will do our best to amplify their
voices, so that their message will get through to the Fisher family in the only
language they know--economics.
Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic care not for the species that call these forests
home, care not for the animals that comprise their leather products, and care
not for their garment workers underpaid, exploited and enslaved in overseas
sweatshops. As more and more minds continue to be exposed to the true nature
of their greed, fewer and fewer will sit idly by, and the cries of the earth
will not fall upon deaf ears. We will not stop.
Love,
