[from Olympia, WA]: This morning 5 activists locked themselves together inside the rotunda of the Department of Natural Resources. They intend to remain until Commissioner Franz meets with them in person, and protest the DNR’s logging of legacy state forests.
Call Lands Commissioner Hilary Franz’s office (360) 902-1000 and say, “Commissioner Franz: be a climate leader and preserve our forest for future generations!”
Activists are willing to risk arrest because the DNR, and its governing body, the Board of Natural Resources (BNR), and Lands Commissioner Hilary Franz — are ignoring the public who overwhelmingly oppose sale of older legacy forests across Washington. Activists refuse to leave the rotunda until they meet with Commissioner Franz to discuss their demands.
zephyr elise of the Lorax Coalition, says, “We have followed all legal recourse and administrative procedures for our concerns to be heard. However, there comes a point when a community must act courageously and non-violently to protect and defend itself on the ground and in the forest when all other channels have failed us.”
