Greece Fire: The Flames Are Spreading!

Message Greg Mucha

12/19, Fort Collins, Colorado -- Wells Fargo Bank had its front window smashed in an act of vandalism said to be in solidarity with the students of Greece. 

Unknown vandals have wreaked havoc and destruction on the campus of UC Santa Cruz in solidarity with Greece and in protest against the university's decision to expand the campus at the expense of the redwood trees and the bucolic environment that has always made the campus special and attractive to progressives since the 1960's.  Former communist party sympathizer, Professor Angela Davis, teaches at this university. 

While the mainstream media lulls you to sleep, here's an incomplete list of the OTHER solidarity actions taking place all over the world in support of the students of Greece.
