-->Benefit for the RNC8

Days before and during the recent Republican National Convention protests, police forces moved in and made preemptive arrests, targeting known organizers in an attempt to derail 2008 anti-RNC protests in St. Paul, MN before the convention had even begun. In an act to intimidate activists in the streets, the “RNC 8″ were charged with conspiracy to riot in the 2nd degree in furtherance of terrorism, a felony which is the first ever use of Minnesota’s PATRIOT Act. (Now changed to four separate charges, check updates online: www.rnc8.org)

This case is an opportunity to demonstrate community solidarity in the face of repression and to establish a precedent of successful resistance to the government’s attempts to destroy our movements. We will not be intimidated!
