Come support the Zombie 7  in St. Paul on the morning of Tuesday June 9th.

Where: Federal Courthouse, St. Paul,
316 North Robert Street (corner of Kellogg Avenue), 5th Floor.

When: 9am

The Zombie 7's  lawsuit against the city, MPD, and Hennepin county was dismissed last year when a district court found that police had grounds to detain them on disorderly conduct, despite clear evidence that the 7 performers were completely orderly and compliant. This is the Zombies' appeal to have the case go back to court.

The RNC 8 invite you to a FREE spaghetti dinner (cooked by them!) this coming Tuesday, June 9th, from 6-7:30pm. The dinner will be in the basement of Walker Church, 3104 16th Ave S, in Minneapolis. There will be vegan and vegetarian options available. Hope to see you there!
