Anger aint even the right word
Worried about some stores
They’ve got some fucking nerve
This is us in minor, still pretty low-key
Nobody’s out here shooting them
and getting paid leave

Can’t even run, can’t even take a drive
Can’t be safe at home, can’t even live our lives

Talking about resisting
Knowing it’s all lies
Calling for assistance
Killing after we comply

We have the right to know, do we not?
Why someone can be a killer and still be a cop
We want this shit to stop and we want to know why
We only get 1 option, be black and die

Shell No!

 · Taken at St John's Bridge....Cathedral Park

What an awe-inspiring, daring and utterly breath-taking direct action by Greenpeace activists at the St. John's bridge in Portland, OR. 13 courageous and determined GP activists rappelled from the bridge, and were suspended for over 40 hours in their attempt to stop or delay the Fennica, an ice-breaker owned by Shell Corp., bound for the Artic to be used for oil-drilling. They were supported by the "kayaktivists" who bravely tried to block the Fennica from sailing past the bridge, but were overwhelmed by the coast guard in their motorboats. We will always remember the beautiful image of this remarkable direct action of these activists hanging from the bridge, with their colored flags flying in the wind.
