We, Anarchists residing in the Eugene/Springfield area are endorsing Jim Torrey for Mayor of Eugene in the 2008 election.

The action was done in solidarity with the Tyendinaga Mohawk community. Five Warriors from Tyendinaga had been arrested and attacked by the OPP days before.

The students at the college of Menominee Nation in Keshena, Wisconsin recently collected about two tons of electronic waste and 23 pounds of pharmaceuticals as part of the EPA Great Lakes 2008 Earth Day Challenge.

The collections brought to over four tons the amount of electronics (e-waste) recycled by members of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin as part of the challenge involving over 100 projects in eight states across the Great Lakes Basin thus helping the EPA exceed its goals many times over of one million pounds of e-waste and one million pills.
During the hours of the actual collection on campus, the students learned they had also been awarded a major recycling grant.
In both cases, they were the only tribal college out of numerous participants.
The collection was one of several Earth Week projects sponsored by the tribe including several by youngsters and teens at the tribal school.
The story includes a video detailing the college project and numerous photos.
