RNC Courtwatch - Texas Two Trial Begins at Federal Courthosue, MPLS

Come support the RNC arrestees! The days of direct action are over, but the legal support work has just begun. People are going up before the court and the state to face their criminal charges for expressing their dissent during the RNC. We need a strong showing of community solidarity in the courtrooms to support our friends and provide a deterrent to judge's behavior. Having many people present at the upcoming hearings is an effective way of challenging the political oppression of the RNC protesters. Come out and show your solidarity!

Food and drink are not allowed in the courtroom and all supporters will have to pass through a metal detector (no guns, knives, or scissors are allowed past security). While in court, supporters must remain silent and will not be allowed to carry signs through the security station; the strength of our collective presence will send the message we need to send.

If you are interested in doing court watches, you must contact rnccourtwatch@gmail.com for information you will need in order to be a court watcher.
