Police attacked antiwar activists after they tried to stop the police from arresting an 8 year old boy! Some activists were arrested and charged and need your support! Please see what you can do to help at our update page for this case. Thursday Update:
Pressuring the DA's office is working! Not only were Lily and Nadeen's cases dismissed, as of late Wednesday we got the news that the three other arrestees whose arraignments were scheduled for tomorrow morning also had their cases dismissed. Now we are waiting to hear the results of the two minors' cases whose court dates are next week. We thank you for all your phone calls and emails to the DA's office. Please keep contacting the DA's office for asking for ALL the cases to be dismissed. call 415.553.1752 puts you through to Kamala Harris' secretary (DA) email: DistrictAttorney@sfgov.org Please continue to keep those donations coming!! We need to raise money to cover the costs incurred so far, so send all contributions to Maherah Silmi at 1333 Gough Street, Apt. 1F, San Francisco, Ca 94109 Wednesday Morning Update: Charges against two of the arrested activists - Nadeen Elshorafa and Elizabeth Haskell - have been dismissed! Your phone calls and emails are what made the difference. But we are not in the clear! Charges have been dismissed, not dropped - which means Nadeen and Elizabeth can still be prosecuted.
