Less than half of the Stryker Brigade has parked in the Port of Tacoma with more coming tonight, March 3. We NEED people to come down (direction provided below). I cannot communicate the seriousness of this quickly and so, please, realize that machines that kill people are getting ready to move out. The sheer reality of it is overpowering. To those of you who read the news items that come in to this sight regarding Greece or Denmark should know that we are not doing nearly enough in this country and if we do nothing as these machines roll right in front of us we do not deserve any respect from the people in the rest of the world. If you absolutely cannot make it, keep looking for updates. This is all spur-of-the-moment and we are doing the best that we can but we need more help and more radical input. -A

Poeple are meeting at the Port of Tacoma at 9:30 tonight to disrupt the war machine.
It was decided at the meeting held today in Tacoma that people should meet at the Port of Tacoma at 9:30 tonight to disrupt the war machine.
It's not only possible but quite probabale we can delay or even stop the shipments from coming through Tacoma. All we need is a large presence. That was perhaps the most frustrating thing last year during the Port of Olympia protests: people were not there when we needed them the most. All we needed at one point was 100 people total to take non-violent direct action to stop the military convoys. We should really take advantage of the privaledge we have - if this were Iraq, we'd got shot from being even a mile away from a large US military presence. If the weapons ship out, PEOPLE WILL DIE...
(There should be a lot of folks there tonight. Bring instruments, warm clothes and blankets, cameras... for good times.)
Also, bring still cameras and video cameras.
Here are the directions:
To get to Port of Tacoma:
I-5 to exit 136 B (Port of Tacoma)
Follow to Port of Tacoma Rd
Take Port of Tacoma Rd until E 11th.
Left on E 11th
Follow until Milwaukee. Find our people and park there.
If you can't come at 9:30, come later. We'll still need you.
