Oppose Alligator Alcatraz!!

 I am not for "militantism" advocacy nor politics, however non-partisan coalitions across the State of Florida and nation should consider peaceful direct action to oppose continued operation at this site. 

1) This is a humanitarian issue 

2) This facility negatively impacts that pristine environment 

3) That site borders traditional Native American lands ( what is their input to the establishment of this facility?) Peace, liberty and democracy.
