Yesterday in #Paris, the BRAV-M attempted to quell a spontaneous demonstration near #Bastille. After chasing a demonstrator down, they first rammed him in the back and then drove over his leg.
Yesterday 200 people invaded and disabled the Lafarge cement plant of La Malle in Bouc-Bel-Air in the Bouches-du-Rhône.
“In a determined and joyful atmosphere, the infrastructure of the plant of the cement company was attacked: sabotage of the incinerator and electrical devices, cables cut, bags of cement broken open, vehicles & construction equipment damaged, office windows damaged, walls tagged”
“Lafarge-Holcim is one of the biggest polluters and producers of CO2 in the country... Here in Bouc-Bel-Air, the furnaces that have been targeted, long fueled by industrial waste and tires are now the symbol of greenwashing.”

the purpose of taking to the streets is to overcome our fear collectively.
we do this by acting fiercely, by cheering on & protecting others who act in brave & dignified ways, and encouraging those on the sidelines to jump in & act
