Begin forwarded message:

From: SF-8 case <cdhrsupport@freedomarchives.org>
Date: August 22, 2007 10:53:35 PM PDT
To: cdhrsupport@freedomarchives.org
Subject: [Freethe SF8] Wednesday 8/22 Court Report: bail, discovery, DNA
Reply-To: FreetheSF8@riseup.net


Bail Reduced!


Addressing a tense courtroom packed with both supporters and police,
Judge Philip Moscone electrified supporters when he announced major
bail reductions for the six bailable defendants in the SF 8 case.

Ray Boudreaux: $ 385,000

Richard Brown: $ 420,000

Hank Jones: $ 600,000

Richard O'Neal: $ 200,000

Harold Taylor: $ 350,000

Francisco Torres: $ 660,000

Moscone noted that "danger to public safety" was not an issue in his
decision, and arrived at the varying amounts based on 1) the
seriousness of allegations against each individual in the Ingleside
charge and the overt acts of the conspiracy charge, and 2) likelihood
of appearance, noting that all the men have had stable residences for
a long time and have strong family and community ties.

hi folks,

you may get stuff like this all the time in your inboxes, but i
strongly encourage you to sign this online petition about stopping a
mining project that would destroy ancestral native lands in arizona.
i had the chance to meet some of the people whose lands will be
affected by this bill last summer, and they are asking for support to
help defeat these two potentially devastating and unprecedented mining
projects.

another huge thing would be to edit and fax the sample letters at the
bottom to members of the committees responsible for voting on the
bill, as well as your local senators and representatives. even one
letter can help! the turn-around time is quick--- trying to get the
letters in by august 22. you can send them as an individual or from
an organization.

thanks, and let me know if you have any questions.

the Mission youth group HOMEY is painting a mural at 24th and Capp streets which depicts struggles of indigenous communities and includes imagery of Palestine. ADL and the JCRC have organized to demand that the mural be altered. Please read the below message from AROC (Arab Resource and Organizing Committee), the sample letter (and send a letter of your own!) and listen to the KPFA coverage. and finally, make sure to swing by and take a look at the mural. I'll post updates ehre as I hear them...
