Justice First! Back in 1990, Earth First! activist Judi Bari and friend Darryl Cherney were victims of a car bombing. Bari’s pelvis was crushed, paralyzing her instantly. The bomber was never found. A cover-up by the FBI has been alleged, and on August 1 the case of Bari v. the FBI will be heard in Oakland, California. Too bad Bari isn’t alive to see it; despite her seven year struggle to learn of her attackers, and despite her continued efforts to protect the environment, Bari succumbed to cancer this past March. Her friends at Earth First! wish to honor her memory by gathering for a Demonstration on the front steps of the Federal Building, Ninth & San Jacinto, Fri, Aug 1, noon, in support of the hearing.
