PITTSBURGH: Bank Attacked in Solidarity with Yintah Land Defenders and Atlanta Forest Defenders
On the night of May Day, I realized I hadn’t really done anything to welcome the coming of spring, and so I decided to smash out the windows of a Bank of America here in Pittsburgh.
I wanted to contribute this small gesture of solidarity with the frontliners currently facing down the fucking disgusting projects that the bank is funding: the Coastal Gaslink Pipeline on unceded Wet’su’weten land, and “cop city” in the Atlanta Forest.
Solidarity means attack.
Death to civilization!
Long live anarchy!
Happy May Day!

Nighttime Visit at the Home of an RBC Executive
Late in the night, on May 4th, individuals acting in the spirit of vengeance visited the home of Michael Fortier on Chester Avenue. Mr. Fortier was a federal cabinet minister under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Today, he is the vice-chairman of capital markets at the Royal Bank of Canada. Tucked away in his big house in the Town of Mount-Royal (a wealthy Montreal neighborhood separated by a long wall from the poor and exploited), Mr. Fortier no doubt feels at ease with his employer’s decision to continue funding the Coastal GasLink pipeline (or any other disgusting project financed by RBC).
As glaciers melt and drought, fire and famine spread, Mr. Fortier may think that his money and connections will protect him, his children and his grandchildren. But the ecologically dispossessed will know the names of those responsible. He must understand that no one is safe amid this storm.
On the night in question, flames spread from an incendiary device to the engine block of his Jaguar, parked in front of his home.
This act is in solidarity with Wet’suwet’en land defenders and all those who fight the extractive industry.
