After a very heartfelt and engaging defendants meeting yesterday all those participating united around the need to raise the level of resistance against all the indictments that came down on May 23rd. As one of the participants emphasized, it is essential we not allow them to get away with making these arrests a warning to people that they should not resist police murder and instead turn it around on them, letting everyone know that their intimidation will not stop the people from rightfully fighting the murderous crimes of the cops.
We have made a number of plans to raise the struggle to a higher level beginning with:
A CALL TO ALL THOSE FIGHTING POLICE MURDER
STAND BY THE DEFENDANTS FROM THE MAY 23rd ARRESTS
BE AT THE JUSTICE CENTER 9AM TUESDAY THE 14th
PRETRIAL FOR 3 FELONY DEFENDANTS BEGIN 9am and 9:30am
Come to the 16th floor courtroom 16A
PRETRIAL FOR 3 MISDEMEANOR DEFENDANTS BEGIN 10:30am
Come to the 13th floor courtroom C
After the pretrials we will assemble outside (as well as in between the pretrials if time allows.)
A press conference will be called on the Justice Center steps where we will insist on the demands of the petition to:
DROP ALL CHARGES AGAINST THE MAY 23rd PROTESTERS!
INDICT AND CONVICT THE MURDERERS OF MALISSA, TIMOTHY AND TAMIR!
STOP MURDER BY POLICE!
