On January 6th and 7th, indigenous peoples, anarchists, and local community members for a variety of struggles came together to protest outside of the BIA Office in Sacramento. They were protesting the upcoming eviction of the California Valley Miwok Tribe in Stockton California (about 20 minutes above Modesto).
On Friday January 15th, the police have stated that they can begin to evict the tribe from the house, which they have been occupying since summer. Members of the tribe have asked that supporters come out to the house and stand in solidarity with them and resist the eviction. The more people the more likely that the house will not be evicted. For more information, please call the tribes office phone listed bellow. Or, email Modesto Anarcho Crew at: anarcho209@yahoo.com.
