Two virtual trainings to go to this Tuesday, h/t @DoomsdaysCW and #PineTreeActivism
We highly recommend attending de-escalation trainings as they are very helpful for dealing with sticky situations at protests. If you can't go but want to get some of the info before May Day, see if a friend can […]

Wow, thank you so much for the kind acknowledgment. #PineTreeActivism is a solo effort, and reading words like this is truly heart-warming.
Maine is an often-in-the-forefront state when it comes to being green, progressive, and welcoming to all. It's an honor to spread the word.
Thank you! ✊

WHY PINE TREE ACTIVISM? In 1772, 90 miles from where I write this in Maine, the Pine Tree State, English colonists in Weare, NH resisted the rule of King George III. The colonists rebelled against England's long standing Broad Arrow Policy, which decreed “for better providing and furnishing of Masts for our Royal Navy wee do hereby reserve to us ... ALL trees of the diameter of 24 inches and upward...” Colonists were prohibited from felling and using any tree marked by broadaxe with an arrow for their own shipbuilding and construction. They were forced to sell these trees to the Crown only, at far below market price. The King wanted it all. When the policy was broadened to all trees over 12” in diameter, a leader of local sawmill owners milling marked trees was arrested. Colonists resisted, attacked British authorities and ran them out of town. The rebellion came to be known as the Pine Tree Riot. Word of the resistance spread, inspiring the Boston Tea Party and other acts of rebellion. These first acts of resistance led to the American Revolution and the creation of the United States of America. Pine Tree Activism was created in the spirit of American colonists resisting authoritarian rule. #EveryActionMatters. // Email resistance events to: ptactivism@gmail.com PINE TREE ACTIVISM on Bluesky: @pinetreeactivism.bsky.social Born this day, Feb 16, 2025

I named my efforts #PineTreeActivism from the early, pre-Boston Tea Party, Pine Tree Riot in northern New England:

1/ Yes, absolutely. When I have time to finish the #PineTreeActivism site, it'll have a tutorial and vid. Simply put, they're screen caps of pages composed in word processing software. The real work is accurately gathering & vetting events. A lot of mentions & memes out there are for things . .
