Statements about Direct Action
Non-violent direct action and civil disobedience are historically effective methods to assert and claim our rights. They have played a vital role in our democracy, securing fundamental rights we enjoy today. The oil and gas industry, and the state working on their behalf, is trampling our rights. The peaceful direct action that occurred at the December 4, 2012 Boulder County Commissioners' hearing was democracy in action against a system of oppression that must be dismantled. - Shane Davis, Fractivist.com, Longmont
I will not stand by and allow the beauty of my family and community to be systemically assaulted by government and industry. As a father and a nurse, as a citizen of Boulder County, I will so everything within my power to keep our community safe, healthy, and sustainable. The risks are too great. The future generation is too important. - Cliff Willmeng, East Boulder County United, Lafayette
The County Commissioners say their hands are tied because they must abide by sate law. Those laws came from a corrupt political system that values the profit of multinational corporations over the health and well being of people, communities and the environment. I will not stand by to allow the place I call home to be industrialized and my children poisoned." - Diana Devine, TheMothersProject.org Colorado, Mothers for Sustainable Energy, Boulder
