How many would be willing to repeat this resistance while filing for a life-saving Injunction as happened a year ago ? * Can the broader community repeat the successful resistance & Injunction of 12-28 & 12-29? Do Benchlands residents and Community members support this strategy understanding the risk of arrest? [See attachments for more details]
