Minneapolis, February 15: Be there for the Inaugural Meeting of the RNC 8 Defense Committee
by Webmaster ~ February 11th, 2009. Filed under: Events.Out of last month’s town hall meeting comes this announcement:
This is an open call to all people concerned about the RNC8 (who are facing felony terrorism charges for organizing logistics and communication around the RNC protests) and who are interested in standing up for our right to dissent!
We propose the formation of a RNC8 Defense Committee ~ a collaborative group of diverse community members interested in saying “Enough is enough!”
Come to the first, full meeting of this new group.
Sunday, February 15th
4:00-6:00pm (but we’re not afraid to end early!)
Walker Church basement (3104 16th Avenue South in Minneapolis)
At this meeting we will:
- review the official proposal from the infrastructure working group and set things in motion;
- hear a brief update from RNC8;
- and find opportunities to plug in!
Plans are developing to:
- campaign against the Minnesota Patriot Act;
- demand that all charges against the 8 be dropped;
- and raise money for the RNC8 Defense Fund.
If you’re inclined to defend American democracy, think dissent is patriotic, fight the power or smash the state, then this might be the right meeting for you!
For more information on the RNC8, the charges they face, and how you can be involved, visit www.rnc8.org, or come see us on the 15th!
