Headwaters activists and their supporters report the following needs.
Please call (707)468-1660 or (707)923-3366 for details about how to take
your body or donation to the Headwaters action.

(1) PEOPLE - can participate in either of two important roles:

      Direct Action: fun things like taking long nocturnal hikes,
blocking logging roads, sitting hundreds of feet off the ground in a tree
(or somewhat closer to the ground in a tripod).  This option entails
risks of arrest (for trespass or ?), as well as risk of being brutalized
or injured by law enforcement, private security, loggers, or other
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Maxxam and Sierra Pacific.

     Indirect Action:  All that action in the woods requires a huge
amount of action at base camp and beyond.  People who are willing to help
as jail support ( a vital role...helping our brothers and sisters in
jail), legal support (because of abuse of activists and other issues,
attorneys who are in distant places can still help), drivers (vital for
direct action), logistical support (all those donations won't just walk
to base camp  :), camp monitors, cooks, etc. are all necessary for the
protection of Headwaters. 

   NOTE:  If you are going to the base camp, please make certain you will
be able to be self-sufficient (warm clothing & sleeping gear, boots, day
pack, light, water container, cup, plate, tent [if possible]).  The more
self-sufficient you are when you arrive, the greater will be your power
to protect the forests. 

(2) STUFF -
      - water bottles, 1 pint to 1 liter, refillable.  (If anyone can
donate "bottled" water in the form of refillable plastic containers in this
size range, they would be most welcome.)
      - bowls, plates, cups (plastic)
      - utensils (metal or plastic)
      - tarps, heavy duty (heavy gauge plastic [often blue] or canvas,
with grommets at corners if possible)
      - flashlights
      - ropes (either strong synthetic climbing ropes or heavy gauge
(more than 3/4") cotton utility/nautical rope)
      - climbing gear ("everything, we need it")
      - bread
      - blankets and sleeping bags
      - used (or new!) work/hikng/other boots
      - backpack or forest food...these are high calorie foods which do
not require refrigeration or cooking, are easy to carry: things like
power bars, granola bars, dried fruits and nuts [if in bulk, 1 quart bags
will help to package it for forest actions].  Some of these things are
found in outdoor or backpacking stores, but most are available in regular
chain supermarkets...products which are organic or made with all natural
ingredients are most appreciated.
      - vegan/vegetarian food...natural oils (for cooking, salad), rice,
beans, legumes, nut butters, veggies, fruits (esp citrus...so easy to
store and prepare!), tubers (potatoes, onions, garlic), soy milk.

(3) MONEY -

      Small or large contibutions will be gratefully accepted and used
with thrift and honesty.  Clearly, this option is not available to all,
but for those who can give and can't be there at Headwaters, direct
monetary support of the action is the most powerful way to protect the
trees. 

(4) ACTION -

      This option is available to all, regardless of location or income.
Options include:
      - call ten others and request them to take one action, and to make
ten calls (requested by Slug in Jail Support!)
      - contact the news assignment editor at your local paper or radio
or TV station.  Request that the coverage of Headwaters be "continued"
[or resumed, to be precise] because you are curious and wish to know
more. 
      - direct action in your hometown!
