Tacoma SDS

Early this morning at the gate of Fort Lewis three activists using lockboxes stopped Strykers from entering the Fort for over twenty minutes. The action ended up stopping shipments for twenty minutes and cost various law enforcement agencies a great deal of money. The on site street medic said that there were more cops at the action then he had ever seen in one place.

The action ended up with three arrests, Jamie Hellerman, who has been bailed out. Michael Cragan who we need to raise $210 to bail out and Patty Imani who is yet to be booked. These three activists along with two medics and a few other support people ended up accomplishing multiple goals including halting the shipment and costing the city and the military money.

This action for the third night in a row proved that a small number of people can do effective actions at the port.

We are all meeting again today at 1 at one heart café at 6th and fawcett…604 fawcett Tacoma
