[Barbara Weatherhead (barbweather]

Social Action committee,
As requested, I am forwarding Peace announcement list from:
antiwarcommittee.org
I attended the counter rally at Sabes Jewish Community Center where a
pro Israel meeting/press conference took place this afternoon - it was a
good crowd and mostly respectful.  Come out next Saturday for the rally
in Loring Park - we need to show solidarity!

Court Solidarity: Support the "Recruiter 7" arrested at a 5-year
anniversary protest against the Iraq war
Monday, Jan 12 @ 9:00am (expected to continue all day and into Tuesday)
@ Hennepin County Government Center, 300 S. 6th St, Mpls

On March 27, 2008, the Anti-War Committee marked the five-year
anniversary of the war and the occupation of Iraq, with a protest at an
Army National Guard recruiting office in Minneapolis. Many of national
guard troops have been sent to fight, and sometimes die, in Iraq,
including those from Minnesota.

Military recruitment of our sons and daughters fuels the war in Iraq,
risking their lives as well as the Iraqi people. Our young people should
not have to join the military to fund their educations or out of
economic need. These are the issues we brought to light with our
protests, and those of the students we allied with that day. Television,
radio and print media all covered our demonstrations, spreading the word
that opposition to the Iraq war continues.
Our protest led to the arrests of 16 people, and on Monday, 7 of us are
going to court to fight the charges against us.

We need your support. Please come to show the prosecutor, judge and jury
that the war in Iraq is the real crime, and our community supports those
who take a stand against it. Be visible - wear an AWC or other anti-war
shirt. (Buttons won't be allowed, and you will pass through a metal
detector, so don't bring anything else with you that won't make it
through security.)

While we can't know for certain, we expect the trial to continue to
Tuesday. If you can, please be there Monday morning at 9am at the
Hennepin County Government Center, 300 S. 6th St, Mpls. We'll try to
have someone to direct you from the main floor, but you can also ask at
the information desk by the name of Jessica Sundin, or one of the other
defendants.

Thank you for your solidarity. We will post updates as they become
available.
