Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

The Biotic Baking Brigade

StoryMarch 12, 1999
Media Options

    As Democracy Now! reported yesterday, a group known as the Biotic Baking Brigade hit Chevron CEO Ken Derr in the face this Wednesday with three pies in protest for his company’s involvement in the killing of activists in Nigeria, as well as for polluting California’s northern coast. The brigade has targeted numerous other “corporate bad guys,” including the CEO’s of bioengineering companies Monsanto and Novartis, economist Milton Friedman and San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. For that “pieing,” three members of the brigade are now serving a six-month prison sentence.
