The threat to the wolf's survival has never been greater. Hunting of wolves has already begun in Montana and Idaho and may soon be allowed in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

The Animal Rights Coalition Speaker Series, in cooperation with HOWL (Help Our Wolves Live), will host wolf expert and conservationist Karlyn Atkinson Berg on October 29 at 7pm at the Lake Harriet United Methodist Church, Fellowship Hall (lower level) which is located at 4901 Chowen Ave S in Minneapolis.

You may have read a recent article in Time about something called Carrotmob, wherein people can contribute toward an environmental goal by doing nothing more than showing up and buying something you would buy anyway.  We're looking to get one going here in the Twin Cities and need people to help organize.  If you can lend a hand with a video camera, spend a few minutes chatting with local business owners, or just plain spread the word, please email tccarrotmob@gmail.com.  For more information please go to http://www.carrotmob.org.

The Green Scare: Civil Liberties Post-9/11

What is the Green Scare? Most everyone has heard of the Red Scare. In a
talk given at the U of M, award-winning independent journalist Will Potter
makes the case that animal rights and environmental (green) activists are
the most recent targets of government repression via new "anti-terrorism"

Will Potter: "Don't turn your back on the fear"

About 90 people came to Cowles Auditorium on the University of Minnesota's West Bank last Thursday to hear journalist and activist Will Potter speak about the "Green Scare" and the use of terrorism laws to silence political activists. Potter is an independent journalist who authors GreenIsTheNewRed.com and earlier in the day spoke at William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul.

Potter was introduced by Dallas Rising of the Animal Rights Coalition, who told of how her organization was targeted in a terrorism investigation last year by the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office. The organization only found out about the investigation after being contacted by a Pioneer Press reporter, she said, and the "investigation" as she knew it mostly consisted of pages from the ARC website, including a nonviolence pledge and articles about animal abuse. The targeting of such groups shows that state and corporate interests "are trying to destroy the entire animal rights and environmental movement," not just underground groups, said Potter.
