During the benefit for the Elliott 27 benefit at Liberty Hall on Saturday night, all proceeds were stolen. Dirt poor activists, who are about to get the shaft from an over oppressive and corporate owned system, were ripped off while trying to raise funds for the upcoming fines, CLDC legal defense, and the potential reparations that they face. The co-defendents are mostly unemployed activists who stood up against the logging of the last of Cascadia's old growth forest, corporate greed, and the same oppression that most of us fight every day.
The benefit show, put on at Liberty hall, featured volunteer performances by Evan Greer, Broadcast live, and local radical favorites- Slow Teeth. It was an amazing show; dancing, laughter, and radical theology were enjoyed by all. Local Captured by Porches brew on tap and vegan chili were being sold at a much discounted price in the basement. Spirits were high, and in our generous spirit at the end of the benefit we offered free chili and charged next to nothing for the beer. Crusties, punx, and activists all rushed the kitchen to take their part of the free food, and much appreciation was expressed. After the chaos cleared and the cleanup duties began it was noticed that the metal box containing all the proceeds raised was missing from on top the refrigerator. All our efforts, time, and money sacrificed for the Elliot 27, for nothing.
How are we to create a better world if we can't take care of our local communities?
If anyone saw something suspicious, someone leaving with an army-green metal box, or has any other information please send an e-mail to  cascadia_ef@riseup.net. This can be done anonymously.
