Combating Abusive Law Enforcement

If you were at the 50th Anniversary of the Rainbow Gathering of the Tribes and you were stopped by law enforcement for any reason, during which you feel the officer(s) involved were abusive, you are encouraged to file an administrative complaint with the agency where the officer is employed. There is no time limit within which to file as long as it is reasonable. When filing an administrative complaint, focus only on the conduct of the officer(s) involved and report only the facts to the best of your knowledge. Keep in mind, you are filing an administrative complaint against officer conduct and not any charges that may have been brought against you. If you make your complaint about any charges, it will be promptly denied as that is a matter for a judge to decide. Generally, statements made in an administrative complaint are admissible in a court of law. Folks are advised to keep their complaint focused only on the conduct of the officer(s) involved.

Help find Mocha

 Mocha was camped with her human, Tammy, at Info from July 4-11th that I witnessed.  Tammy was taken to the hospital in Craig, Colorado on July 13 or 14.  Tammy passed away shortly there after and we're trying to reunite Mocha with Tammy's brother. Mocha is a lively, fun loving chocolate labrador retriever who is ready to play at the drop of a hat. If you have seen Mocha on or after July 13, please call and share what you know.

Patch Adams (made famous by the film staring Robin Williams) attended gatherings for many years. He made it back to the gathering in Colorado.   He was at Granola Funk Theater and this recording is from that experience (in MP3 format).

 What we tend to call an "Operating Plan" that we intend to be worked out between the United States Forest Services (USFS) and folks on the land, the USFS has renamed the "Resource Design Criteria" and it's a document they handed to us this year without any council, circle or group discussion.  Therefore, not many people knew about it. But in case your curious, here it is. Or find it here in PDF format.
