In this issue of Earth First!, Matt Veenker gives an update from the logging blockades in Middle Santiam, Oregon; the Earth First!er Mike Roselle is threatened with legal action by the Forest Service for wearing a bear costume, and other activists have been put under arrest; Mike Bond discusses Civil Disobedience in Montana; Denzel and Nancy Ferguson problematize the issue of public goods; and editor Dave Forman writes about how to be professional within the radical environmental movement.

When the “authorities” become repressive, you know you are accomplishing something.
