Episode Description

*This tape seems to pick up after the beginning of the interview; I can’t quite tell how far along it is...

J: ...the strength that we need to carry on.

G: It is truly amazing. When we talked a little earlier about the Three Hundred Days, and people asked you, “Well, what would you like as a celebration?” can you share that with the audience?

J: Sure! I got a call from someone who said “Julia, you are close to the Three-Hundred-Day mark, and I would love to send you something to say, ‘thanks’ as well as to boost your spirits and keep you going.” And I said “Well, honestly, I am blessed to be in a magnificent ancient redwood that is still standing a year after it was marked to be destroyed, and that’s all the blessing I need, but the people out in Gypsy Grove could really use some blessings of their own. They are out there in the cold and the wet, defending, taking a stand against the illegal operation that Pacific Lumber was carrying on in that area, as well as the death of David Gypsy Chain, and continuing to demand that we want an out-of-the-area, independent investigation, and what I would love for my Three Hundredth Day is for gifts to be given to them: warm socks, wool socks and hats, and I said what I would really like is a huge box of Vegan chocolate to be dropped off at the blockade, I think that would put a smile in their hearts and in their mouths and in their tummies, every one of them out there.
