Were you arrested on Sept. 4th, 2008, during the RNC in St. Paul? If so, you might be able to get involved in a civil suit from that day!

Come to our next organizing meeting:

Sunday, Oct. 25, 5:30pm
Mayday Books, 301 Cedar Ave S, Mpls

Several lawsuits have already been filed from incidents that occurred during the RNC, including a large one from Sept. 1, 2008 that will hopefully become a class action. Now we're working on figuring out which suits to file from the arrests on Sept. 4th, such as the mass arrest on Marion Bridge.
