Bring tools, power sources, building materials, and other supplies needed for starting a farm and building homes. (Working on a comprehensive needs/wants list). Plan on crossing the Colorado River in possibly high water. There is parking near by or at the collective.

Hello! Just a few things from the town in which this is happening....

So there seems to be some confusion about this island event. The houseless inhabitants of the island were unaware, until just recently, that there was going to be an event/squat. There is worry of a large influx of people into their home. The organizer of the event (redstateradical) has discussed little with the community in which this is intended to happen. He also hasn't been heard from recently, as this forum shows. Activists in town also seem concerned about the potential of the local houseless community to loose one of the few 'legal' camping spots in town (one was just lost recently) and of stains on relationships that have taken years of organizing to build.

While the intentions of both the organizer and the island dwellers seems to be the same, more communications, discussions and decisions need to be created and creative and I encourage people to be involved in the process.

If you are planning on attending, I would encourage you to contact Wolffe, a current inhabitant, or redstateradical (redstateradical@yahoo.com). Contact me for Wolffe's info (telephone).

My email is mallorypam121@yahoo.com, my name is Mallory. Title your email Island GJ.

I'm not really a part of this. I just want to make sure some sort of facilitation happens between local community and folks coming in, and I don't want to see years of efforts/activism gone in the time it takes to click "post" on this post.

If you need a place to send supplies, get some sort of address/directions, or any other big thing about this, email me (title it Island GJ).
