Report Back from Kansas City Protest:
We had a great day today in Kansas City. About 50 people mobilized at noon to go to the plant. We did a procession and then we all went onto the Fed Property, the majority of us, and blocked the main gate inside.
They finally moved us out and four stayed and were arrested.
We then went and blocked the driveway in, lots of cops came, even a helicopter. Good support from cars. We chaulked bodies at the gate and put crosses out by the road.
Following the protest at the Bannister Plant, we went over to Oppenhiemer, the firm that is getting the 14 investors to buy the $815 million in bonds to move forward in developing the new plant. About 15 of us went in and took over their corporate board room. The guy who came out was kind of stunned at what we had done, we told him we came for a meeting…Well we didn’t get it, but we did finally get his name and number and will follow up with a real meeting.
