Grand Jury POSTPONED, Infosession STILL ON
Note: the Grand Jury originally scheduled for October 21st has been POSTPONED till November 17th. This is no reason to delay community organizing against this and other repressive tactics of the State, so we are still planning a Grand Jury Know-Your-Rights/Info Session for this Sunday, October 19th, but have rescheduled the People’s Fishing Expedition to November 17th to keep a presence outside the Grand Jury itself. Hope to see you on Sunday!

OCTOBER 21: PEOPLE’S FISHING EXPEDITION
The Feds are going fishing, so we are too! Join us in front of the Federal Courthouse as we speak out and offer moral support to our comrades under subpoena inside.
