Friday Septe4mber 21: the Iraq Moratorium kick off!

from the SF Bay Area Iraq Moratorium website

The Iraq Moratorium is a community based nationwide campaign to organize public displays of opposition to the war in Iraq on the third Friday of each month, starting on September 21.

Our goals are simple: ending the US occupation of Iraq, bringing the troops home now, and funding human needs here at home. The SF Bay Area Iraq Moratorium exists to encourage diverse individuals, communities and organizations to demonstrate their opposition to the war each month in as many different ways as they find useful and possible.

Support of the San Francisco 8

An open call to all my friends and comrades and political cohorts,

...the Movement


After a lazy summer, I was called back to action
by the fact of the tremendous victory that was
won by the lawyers for the San Francisco 8, in
state court in San Francisco, when the Judge
against the strong opposition of the government
(California Attorney General Jerry Brown (!)) set
bail. In my 45 year experience as an activist
and as an attorney, they just don???t set bail in
a case that involves the murder of a cop??? -not
in the police state . They especially don???t
set bail when the defendants are activist black men.
