The Friends of the RNC8 invite you to join us at a Town Hall meeting to get updates on the case and discuss what we can do to defend our friends and community members. Topics covered will include: updates on the case; repealing the MN Patriot Act; using political pressure to get the charges dismissed; creating a broad-based RNC 8 Defense Committee; and other strategies for resisting the attack on our loved ones and the larger movement.
Support Committees, like Friends of the RNC 8, are the first line of direct support for activists facing or serving prison time. But these committees don't typically have the ability, by themselves, to wage major campaigns for high-profile causes. This is where you can plug in. We've already been in touch with many Twin Cities activists excited to form the backbone of a new group mobilizing around the special circumstances of the RNC 8 case, and we hope you will join them.
Featured Speakers include:
Speakers will be followed by small-group sessions and participatory discussion, with a focus on action! The event is free and open to the public. Snacks and child care will be available.
