RAN-Twin Cities Makes “Resistance in Review” Top 10!

The feisty Rainforest Action Network – Twin Cities chapter and fellow rabble-rousers helped make history last January when 42 people unfurled a 90 foot by 30 foot banner on the snowy lawn of General Mills’ corporate headquarters.

Not only was it one of the largest banners we have ever made, but now Twin Cities Indymedia says it was amongst the top 10 most-viewed articles on their site in 2010!

The recent article, “Resistance in Review,” has the scoop.

Check out the campaign launch video, “Does Your Breakfast Cause Rainforest Destruction?”

What an honor to stand with all of the strong change-makers listed in Twin Cities Indymedia’s Resistance in Review. Thanks to everyone holding it down in Minnesota!
