We’re sticking to our original plan:
The RNC 8 Defense Committee will sponsor a rally outside the courthouse at 15 West Kellogg Boulevard from 8:15-9am on October 8, before we head upstairs to pack the courtroom. To carpool from Minneapolis, meet at Walker Church (3100 16th Ave S.) at 7:30 sharp. Otherwise, the courthouse is near several bus routes from Minneapolis, including the 16, 21, 50 and 94. For updates, sign up for our twitter feed by texting “follow defendthernc8″ to 40404.
If you have an RNC 8 shirt, please wear it to the rally and the courthouse!
At the hearing itself, the 8’s motion to be tried together rather than separately will likely be addressed. Other motions may be raised as well, and future dates will be set. Judge Warner may or may not rule on the motions immediately.
It’s been over a year since the RNC, and our community has proven that court solidarity works. Show yours! Help remind Judge Warner, Ramsey County Attorney and DFL Governor candidate Susan Gaertner, and the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office that the RNC 8 are not criminals and that prosecuting activists is a disgrace! Join us on the morning of Thursday, October 8.Remember that nothing that could be construed as a weapon - such as scissors or tools - are allowed in the courthouse and that all bags may be searched, so check them before you leave. It’s now been seven months since the last hearing - bring your friends and let’s show how much support for the RNC 8 has grown.
