On Friday, May 16, St. Louis police - backed by federal agents - raided the
Community Arts and Media Project (CAMP), and the Bolozone, a collective housing project, in anticipation of the
Biodevastation 7 conference and
protests at the
World Agricultural Forum. Police appear to be arresting protesters,or people they suspect will protest, on whatever pretense they can find.
Read St. Louis IMC for more information, ongoing coverage, and background on the conferences and protests. St. Louis IMC is
asking
for your support, and your support of all those unjustly arrested.
