Over 700 non-violent protesters were jailed this past week on various charges, but mainly for "failing to disperse." The jail solidarity switched to a strategy of legal solidarity when talks with the Seattle City Attorney Mark Sidran broke down.
Sidran was not bargaining in good faith and refused to plea bargain. Hundreds are now demanding a speedy, individual jury trial and public defender. The cases could be drawn out for many months. Funds are desperately needed to provide legal support. Please send checks made out to Art and Revolution to P.O. Box 95113, Seattle, WA 98145.
Thank you for your support.
