Statement From The BURN! Collective
June 2, 2000
The BURN! project has had a home in the UCSD communication department
since April 1993. During this time, we have become a source of unique
materials created by a wide variety of social movements from all over the
world. A few weeks ago, right-wing groups in Colombia began a
letter-writing campaign aimed at getting our server shut down. On May 31,
with no explanation whatsoever and less than 24 hours advance notice to
us, our server was disconnected and our hostname removed from campus DNS
servers. We have no way to contact many of our users to even explain to
them what is happening.
But we have a lot of support, and we're still optimistic about getting our
server's connection restored within the communication department. We are
very interested in offers of legal assistance. Letters to Carol Padden,
the communication department chair are also very helpful. Please send
copies to us, and to Richard Atkinson, the UC president, who, we
understand, phoned the department chair and pressured her into pulling our
plug.
We are presently working on setting up mirrors in various places. Stay
tuned.

[ATS Note: We've been scrambling to adapt to this new situation and have
only just been able to sort out getting ATS-L going again (we were/are
experiencing other problems unrelated to to the BURN! closure). We will
continue to stand alongside our friends and comrades in the BURN!
collective and will struggle alongside them to get the BURN! site back. We
also wish to express our ongoing solidarity with the FARC-EP and the
Colombian people in struggle. Venceremos! - Arm The Spirit, June 8, 2000]
