Amsterdam Blocking Banks Germany Blocking Roads
The Hot ING Summer Tour in Amsterdam struck again this week, when six activists were arrested at an ING Bank. Unfortunately, some of the arrestees were hurt. This is absolutely unacceptable. Non-violent protesters should never be harmed in this way.. Looking at the pictures - it would appear some pain of compliance was applied by the police to coerce a release of the lockdown device. This is often used when the police are trying to speed things up - but it’s really unfair when you consider how serious the crisis we are in is. These activists merely want for the governments to do their job.

Looking Back Declare Emergency Shut Down DC Beltway for 90 minutes on July 4th, 2022
On July 4th, 2022, 13 Declare Emergency supporters went out on the Washington DC Beltway, at the Colesville exit in Maryland, and sat down on the highway. They blocked traffic for 90 minutes - and in the end, were taken off to jail. Two and a half months later, the Colesville 13 pled guilty in a Montgomery County courtroom presided over by a Judge Koch. Judge Koch handed down a 4 day sentence. The Colesville 13 would go in that Friday afternoon, and be released on Monday. It was a surprising verdict, because the prosecution was asking for community service and time served.
