The Civil Liberties Defense Center is based in Eugene and filed a Freedom of Information Act request about the grand jury, releasing this information.

from BITE BACK:

On the night of September 21, 2012, saboteurs tore open a lone flight pen located at the newly incorporated Primrose Pheasant Farm (27368 S. Primrose Path Canby, Oregon), releasing dozens of slaughter-bound ring-necked pheasants into the countryside.

Naturalized populations of ring-necked pheasants have resided in the Willamette Valley for hundreds of years and the surrounding farm land serves as ideal habitat that these captive bred non-domesticated birds can undoubtedly survive in. Destined otherwise to be killed by butchers and sport hunters, these sentient beings will now get the chance to live out the rest of their natural lives in the wild.

For the silent ones..

9:00am – Matt Duran’s next court hearing at Federal Courthouse at 700 Stewart, Seattle, WA (Facebook). The hearing is open, so all should come. Please allow Matt’s closest friends and supporters to enter first, as the courtroom capacity is unknown.

12:00pm & 6pm – March from the Federal Courthouse at 700 Steward (Facebook). Make the State regret what it does to our comrades!

Grand Jury Resisters,

Anonymous’ very own telecommunications division shut down the phone network
at the Seattle US District attorney’s office. We will run this attack
until later this afternoon.

Yours in the lulz,

During the night of September 19th we attacked a Bank of America. One ATMs card slot was glued and screen smashed, and 3 windows of the bank smashed.
This was done in solidarity with Matt Duran and the other grand jury resistors, and those currently facing repression in Italy.

Now is the time to attack.
Always a step forward, never a step back.
No compromise with the state and capital.

from AnarchistNews:

Last night an Italian yuppie restaurant had several of its windows liberated.
This action was done is solidarity with all those fighting gentrification in Vancouver,the Cleveland 4,Grand Jury Resisters and Anti-Capitalist Comrades everywhere.

You can’t stop us.

Yuppies you can dine in hell. (A)

from IndyBay

A banner reading “Kill Capitalism” was hung from an overpass bridge in San Francisco on the morning of September 17th in solidarity with the global Occupy movement as well as the Pacific North West Grand Jury Resisters.

Update on Matt’s situation from No Political Repression:

Matt is being held in the Secure Housing Unit (isolation) at SeaTac. His lawyer guesses this is because he’s never been to prison before. He says he’s doing fine; reading trashy romance novels because that’s all he has access to. He may be moved to general population soon, where he’ll be able to play chess and have greater access to a phone.

The prison is so far not giving Matt access to all-vegan food, though he is applying for vegetarian food. We suspect he’d have much better access to vegan food if people resumed calling in and urging that he receive the food he needs!! (206-870-5700).

Notice of next hearing from Facebook:

Our friend and comrade Matt Duran was taken hostage by the state on September 13th for refusing to testify to a secret grand jury. Right now he is being held at the SeaTac federal prison for an undetermined period of time. He has an upcoming court appearance where it is likely the prosecutor will ask if he still wants to refuse to testify after spending 2 weeks in federal prison, and Matt will continue to refuse to snitch.

It’s important for us to pack the courtroom to show we still have his back – both for him personally, and so the prosecution knows that too. We believe the hearing is going to be at the federal courthouse in Seattle but will update this when we confirm.

from Anarchistnews:

On September 17th, under cover of night, we sabotaged a railway track north of New York City. Wearing standard work gloves, we took a piece of thick gauge copper wire and tied it from one track to another, disrupting a signal relay. This temporarily renders the track unusable.

We did this in solidarity with our Anarchist comrades in the Northwest, particularly Matt Duran. The courage all of you have shown continues to inspire us.

Now is the time to attack.

from Anarchistnews:

Glass etch cream was thrown all over the front windows of the Community Policing Centre on Commercial Drive on the night of September 13th in solidarity with those resisting the Grand Jury in Seattle.
Solidarity with the Silent.
In Silence We Roar! (A)

PS: Although these windows apparently aren’t breakable, etch cream does the trick.
