Pickets walked in New York City, where 10 Lindy Hoppers danced on 5th Avenue for the redwoods, in Chicago, Atlanta, Durham, Chapel Hill, Seattle and Tacoma; in Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Utah, New Mexico, Hawaii and other points, including eight California cities. All these events were in concert with our rally in Union Square in San Francisco, where 300 people gathered, marched and picketed the Gap, a march and picket on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley and a T-shirt picket in Santa Rosa Plaza organized entirely by Mendocino Community High School students. Picketing continued throughout the Christmas shopping season in San Francisco, home of the Gap, organized by coordinator Mary Bull with the help of Forests Forever and other volunteers.
In addition, ten thousand people around the state, the nation and the world, have signed the Petition to Save the Mendocino Coast Redwood Forest! You can download the petition or sign it on-line at Copyright Mendocino Environmental Center 1999
