The Beehive Collective presents their innovative True Cost of Coal graphic –
a visual exploration of Mountaintop Removal Mining and Resistance
(Bozeman, Mont.) A swarm is coming! The Beehive Design Collective, a non-profit, volunteer driven, political arts organization based in eastern Maine, is headed this way. They are out to “cross-pollinate the grassroots” by creating collaborative, anti-copyright images that deconstruct complex global stories for use as educational and organizing tools.

Buffalo Allies of Bozeman endorses rally supporting diversity on all levels - 2PM Sunday in Bozeman
Buffalo Allies of Bozeman (see http://www.buffaloallies.org) has endorsed a rally 2PM on Sunday in Bozeman calling for a "Hate-Free Bozeone" in response to white supremacist activity in our community.
As a community organization, we believe it is extremely important for us to take a stand against those who would set an arbitrary line against people with a different skin color, a different religion, a different sexual orientation, or any of the other unjust fence lines that people have set up to keep people from feeling safe and welcome on our streets.
Therefore, we endorse the work of those in our community who have been organizing this march as well as those by anyone else who take a stand against hatred and a stand for embracing diversity. Indeed, the very mission of Buffalo Allies of Bozeman calls for a diversity of strategies and tactics, and so we are excited by all the diverse energy in its diverse forms in support of a diverse community.
Some information on Sunday's Rally:
WHY do the BUFFALO cry: “DON’T HAZE ME, BRO!”
Originally in North America tens of millions of wild buffalo roamed freely. Today the numbers are a few thousand. Why are the numbers so low? Why do Montana and the National Park Service continue to kill and haze wild buffalo? What have advocates been doing in the last year to stop this?
Join an informative discussion hosted by Buffalo Allies of Bozeman (BAB) at the Bozeman Public Library, Lg. Conference Room, Wednesday, July 29 from 6:30-8:00 PM. Speakers: Glenn Hockett, Volunteer President of the Gallatin Wildlife Association; Jim Macdonald, formerly a social activist in Washington, D.C, is a founding member of BAB having worked in or around Yellowstone since 1993; and Ellen Figura, a member of BAB, who is an author, artist, and who is enthusiastic about the outdoors and seeing nature live in harmony.
