On Wednesday, April 22, the Woodbury city council is expected to vote, and
pass, an ordinance banning residential picketing in the city of Woodbury.

This ordinance is being proposed in response to a half dozen pickets that
happened at the homes of 3M executives this past summer because of 3M's
connection to an animal testing company called Huntingdon Life Sciences.
The police themselves have stated that no laws were broken, the protesters
were peaceful, and the protesters even cooperated with the police when
asked to leave.

Predictably, the article below shows how little corporate media and police understand decentralization, and doesn't include a single quote from activists.

Animals have rights, but so do homeowners.

An aggressive protest tactic — picketing at people's homes — is getting a thumbs-down from Woodbury officials.
