09:40pm Most demos in solidarity with ZAD across Fance have now ended.
09:33pm ZAD: It seems like cops are driving with trucks on Chèvre street. They didn’t manage to do that this afternoon. People are asking for support. They think the cops might try to arrest people as revenge.
09:22pm Meanwhile in the ZAD… Cops are at the entrance of Chèvre street (at the Bison side).

Solidarity from Minneapolis, USA
Over the weekend a banner was hung in so-called Minneapolis reading Defend la ZAD. We take this opportunity to send a message of strength to the ZAD occupants on the eve of their eviction. The autonomous zone established in France has been the source of endless inspiration for rebels near and far—it will live on, regardless of what happens on Monday.

04:30pm To join us at the camp of white hair at 17h: It seems that the best is to park on the d81, south of the crossroads of the saulce, then walk to the camp “white hair” (in front of the pits black). It is still possible to come by Vigneux de Bretagne. According to our information there are cops: on all the D281 Ardillères Wood Rignoux to Mancelière Richard Frenelière and Carrefour de la Saulce is blocked.
04:20pm The shed of 100 noms has just been destroyed. For now, no other cabin has been affected.

That #ZAD in #NDDL place is under occupation right now by the state’s armed bureaucrats (also known as police) has less to do with some legal dispute about the land (there have been zero trials about the people they are evicting). It’s to prevent this place from inspiring hope.
