From Evidence to Extremism: How Our City Council Failed Us
We discuss the worrying trend of our local political leaders making public policy decisions based on bad science, conspiracy theories, and personal agendas. Actively ignoring the will of their constituents. Their most recent move in this vein was to vote to remove the fluoride from our municipal water supply here in Aberdeen. This will negatively impact public health in a place with already abysmal health stats. It will also primarily harm those who are already marginalized and vulnerable such as the poor in our City. This may seem like small potatoes, but this City Council has been actively harming residents of this City for years now, it is time to consider what can be done to counter this destructive institution.

ANNOUNCEMENT!!
We are happy to introduce our newest addition to the Sabot Media family of podcasts. Here is:
Get To Know Your Neighborhood
We are overjoyed to bring you these collections of personal stories from the streets of Aberdeen, WA. Every week our hosts, Bee and Sprout, interview people who we come in contact with in our mutual aid organizing work and ask them to tell us and our listeners a bit about themselves. We hope this serves to connect those in our town who are disconnected from those on the streets, humanizing them and discovering the shared struggles we all go through.
Listen anywhere podcasts are available or at our website at https://sabotmedia.noblogs.org/interview-with-max/

Aberdeen City Council To Ban Sitting Or Lying Down City-Wide
At the very end of a rather bland City council meeting Council member Deb Hodgkin proposed something that is going to effect everyone in Aberdeen. It turns out the brand new enforcement area for their No Sit-No Lie ordinance is not big enough, people are just setting up outside of the specified boundary. After some discussion they took a vote and the motion passed 7-4. In this article we break down the meeting’s highlights.

Aberdeen's Eugenics Policies
Yesterday about one hundred unhoused individuals were displaced by the City Government of Aberdeen, Washington. They were not provided with places to go but told that they are just not allowed to camp at threat of arrest.
This article examines the eviction and the newly enforceable City ordinances that ban camping in public and sitting and lying down in Aberdeen's downtown during the day.
We also look to the future and consider what this means for winter.
As anarchists we do not believe that faith can be put in the City to act in the best interest of anyone but those already in power. Those with money. So we rely on ourselves and our community for resilience in the face of such violent actions as were taken yesterday.
Each of the City officials, workers, and police who made this possible have the blood of the unhoused on their hands.
Show this Saturday at the Historical Seaport!
All ages, $12 suggested, Pay what you can. Doors open at 8pm. All proceeds benefit The Blackflower Collective and our land and housing projects. more info on everything at linktr.ee/blackflowerllc

CHEHALIS RIVER MUTUAL AID NETWORK PRESENTS
Joint Statement and Call for Action:
We here in Aberdeen are all too familiar with the violence that the State inflicts upon those it deems threatening, surplus, or distasteful. Police are the enforcement mechanism of the City, and they cost people their lives in a multitude of ways every day. In the same vein of State sponsored violence we experience here everyday, on January 18th in Atlanta law enforcement shot and killed Manny Teran, aka "Tortuguita or little turtle", during an early morning raid of the forest encampment to defend the Welaunee aka Atlanta Forest and to stop CopCity. In response to this killing of Tortuguita, the movement called for a week of action March 4 - 11 in solidarity with forest defenders. Read their statement and learn more about their struggle at defendtheatlantaforest.org/solidarity.
In light of the recent sweep of the unhoused encampment, a move that included placing large boulders in and around the small area that remains in order to prevent future expansion of the camp, we at Chehalis River Mutual Aid Network want to bring together a coalition of voices in the community who oppose this move, and the various hostile moves the City has made against it's unhoused and vulnerable residents. We also want to call for actions to be taken in defiance of the City and it's intentions to eliminate our friends and family. To this end we have crafted the following statement that all are free to sign onto and pass along.
We are asking community leaders and organizations to endorse the following statement by emailing [email protected]. Multiple autonomous and community organizations have already endorsed. For personal endorsements, please list your name and any relevant roles, titles, or affiliations (if needed, we’ll make clear you are endorsing in personal capacity only). We hope to announce an initial list of endorsers by the end of February.
Statement published at sabotmedia.noblogs.org/solidarity
SOLIDARITY FROM ABERDEEN TO ATLANTA:
When law enforcement struck this blow against the movement to stop CopCity in Atlanta, they did what our police here in Aberdeen do every time they move along or "sweep" unhoused individuals. They inflicted State violence against peaceful people just trying to resist the worst affects of our capitalist system. The City is constantly making moves against the unhoused which cause the needless deaths of people every month. It is incredibly difficult to maintain an existence when the City threatens your stability on a daily basis. From removing the public restrooms around town, to demolishing people's homes and belongings, the City of Aberdeen are active in sabotaging the efforts of the unhoused and mutual aid volunteers in bettering the lives of these people.The combined crises of mental health care and addiction make it even harder for certain individuals to access the care they need, leading to many interactions with the City's police. All of this instability caused by the City serves to make it harder for people to survive the long wait list for a housing unit. Many of the people living on the streets are there because of the lack of available affordable housing units, not because they are not trying to seek assistance or shelter. It can take years to get into housing in this county. This is real violence committed by our City government against the most vulnerable residents of our community.
For too long the City of Aberdeen has pushed around the community of unhoused individuals within it's borders. It is time for our community to organize itself, become familiar with the so-called legal protections afford them, and fight for justice above and beyond the system. This grassroots coalition is calling for a week of actions against the City of Aberdeen's treatment of the unhoused, in conjunction with the week of solidarity actions already planned for March 4-11. To this end we will be holding a Homeless Rights Conference in the Aberdeen Library parking lot on Sunday March 5th. This event is for our local community to come together and try to come up with a plan of action regarding future City sweeps and unhoused harassment. We will be discussing the community's response to the continued threats to our unhoused comrades and making sure that everyone is well informed of their legal rights. All interested parties are invited to attend, but nothing about the unhoused will be solved without participation and guidance from the unhoused population themselves, and their voices will be centered.
For us it is important to show solidarity with the struggle in Atlanta, for we all experience violence at the hands of The State, and a show of solidarity with our street comrades here and those fighting to stop CopCity lets them know we are with them, and lets authorities know that we will not let this violence go unanswered. These actions against our City will be our show of solidarity with those defending the forest in Atlanta. It is important to uplift the voices of the marginalized and oppressed in this time, let the tactics you bring to the party be diverse and creative. Go out and meet someone who lives on the streets, form a protest against the City sweeps, join us at the Homeless Rights Conference, or smash back at the system in your own creative way. Any action, big or small, can help to break down the barriers the City builds between us.
If you too agree that the City has gone too far in it's mistreatment of the unhoused in town, then please join us in signing this statement announcing that our community will no longer tolerate this without taking action. You can also show your solidarity by joining us at the conference or by taking your own autonomous actions against the City during the week of March 4-11. We vow to continue to take action every time the City sweeps the unhoused of Aberdeen.

"Territorial Pissings"
Kurt Cobain Park in Aberdeen WA, on the banks of the muddy Wishkah.
The sign in the image was erected by a neighboring house on the street where Cobain grew up. This house is on the dead end, next to the park and the bridge that Kurt would sit under to write. The sign is comprised of messages to park visitors. It was informational and served as a warning. It sounds as if they've had a few visitors at their home.
One day, I may post the interview I did with the man that said he was his friend. He vigorously told me that Kurt's nickname was "Pixie" and if "anyone says different, they are f#&king lying.” I just agreed and looked at the years of graphitti under the bridge that seemed to mirror Kurt's music.
I also collected some mud from the "Banks of the muddy Wishkah", near the wooden pylons that appear on the album cover of the same name. A waitress in #Utah wanted to be tipped with a bit of the mud. I obliged but, tipped her customarily with cash as well.
