On December 17th, we traveled to Washington, DC to collaborate with the Endangered Species Coalition.  The 17th marked the end of the public comment period around the proposed delisting of the Gray Wolf under the Endangered Species Act.  We Projected on the Department of Interior that we all #standforwolves.

On December 3rd, we teamed up with the NYC Anarchist group In Our Hearts and went to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn where Jeremy Hammond is currently being held. We projected messages of solidarity for Jeremy + Anonymous, sang and danced, banged on drums, blew horns and whistles, sending waves of sound and beams of light through cell windows. Faces appeared in the windows and lights flickered on and off as a sign that they were hearing and seeing our love.

Jeremy is 28 years old and was just sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for hacking under the banner of “Anonymous”. Read more about Jeremy and his hacktivism here: http://freejeremy.net/

In the dark of the night of November 18th, 2013 the historic NYC-based graffiti art mecca 5 Pointz was whitewashed by developers in an attempt to destroy the possibility of the building being legally preserved due to the cultural value of the art on it’s walls; the artists were currently in court with the developers fighting for protection on these grounds.  Precious spray art from countless world-renowned artists was destroyed.  A candlelight vigil was held the next evening and we came with the People’s Pad to allow the artists to legally tag the building one last time.

On September 21st, we debuted our latest project, The Green Lumen, a trusty sidekick to our van, The Illuminator.  It’s a hacked Pedicab, a bike-powered tactical media machine, and its AWESOME! We brought this out in parntership with 350.org, participating in the national Draw the Line on Keystone XL Pipeline action. The intent was to spread awareness about climate change by projecting where the water-line would reach if another Hurricane Sandy happened at the end of the century if we don’t start to wean ourselves off fossil fuels. This pipeline, which will transport dirty Tar Sands oil from Canada to the USA, is where we’ve decided to Draw the Line. Interestingly most of the major banks on Wall Street who are investing in dirty energy projects such as the Keystone pipeline would be underwater! #Drawtheline.  Check out video of the debut on YouTube!

Last night, we teamed up with VOCAL NY to help with their week of action to expose Tax Dodging, and fight back against Corporations Advocating for Cuts to Public Services.
