Call-in day to the Minnesota Trade Office to demand an immediate end to all trade with Israel

On Wednesday, January 28th, help build on last week's occupation of the Minnesota Trade Office by calling in to demand the immediate end to all trade between Minnesota companies and the State of Israel. Call:

Excecutive Director, Tony Laruso: 651-259-7489

International Representative for the Middle East, Paul Hansen: 651-259-7486

UPDATE 10/13: The six were given a new date to continue the hearing: Nov. 10 at 1pm. However, this date may prove to be irrelevant as discussions are underway to consolidate the eight individual cases into one.

Monday, six of the RNC 8 will make appearances in Ramsey County court. Eryn Trimmer, Erik Oseland, Nathanael Secor and Max Specktor are all scheduled for omnibus hearings beginning at 1pm; Monica Bicking and Robert Czernik are scheduled to appear in a continuation of their hearings from earlier this month. This is the most notable day in court yet for the 8 anti-RNC organizers who are charged with felony conspiracy to commit riot in furtherance of terrorism under Minnesota's Patriot Act. The appearances are at the Law Enforcement Center at 425 Grove (near bus lines 21 and 74 from Minneapolis).

In conjunction with the hearings, a call-in day has been organized to presure St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman (651.266.8510), Ramsey County Attorney and 2010 gubernatorial candidate Susan Gaertner (651.266.3222) and St. Paul City Attorney John Choi (651.266.8710) to drop all charges against the RNC 8 and the 800+ other arrestees.
