My court date is Thursday, June 17th at 9 a.m. in Dept. 19
So apparently we won't all be appearing at the same time. But I'd also like to know, is there any legal update on the charges?
by Sludge (skip9mac&@saber.net)
Hey companions in adversity...I'm up on Monday the 21st at 9AM as well. I would like to find out how things go on Friday to help me understand what to expect. I also expect to be at the Court early on Monday to meet up with anyone else there the same time. Possible to coordinate, plan strategy? I have not gotten a call back from the legal number yet and am new to this process.

Together we are stronger than greed or fear.

Greetings,

The National Lawyers Guild Legal Support team has just received word from the District Attorney that they are dropping the charges against everyone who was arrested in the evening of June 8th at the Reclaim the Streets protest at 5th & Market (except for an individual sitting on a wall). If you have any questions as to if this applies to you, please call the County Clerks office (415-553-9394) to inquire whether you are on the roster (within 24 hours of your arraignment) or show up at your arraignment.

We have appointed lawyers to attend the arraignments to confirm that the charges are being dropped. Warning: the DA gave us word today but they could change their mind. Most likely, all the charges will be dropped but there is always a possibility that something could change. If you want to be on the safe side, go to your arraignment. Remember they are dropping charges only for people who were arrested at the 5th and Market protest. They are bringing charges against people involved in other demonstrations during the RTC. If you have any questions, please call the NLG office.

June 17th: David Harrison-391-6464
June 18th: Terry Koch-415-397-1060

The National Lawyers Guild is a network of progressive attorneys, legal workers and law students who volunteer their time to support social justice causes. We have a small staff and rely on donations from our community to sustain our work. A donation of $25.00 is suggested from each arrestee to cover the cost of legal support. We work on a sliding scale and encourage those who can to give more, so that we can cover the cost of those who can not give.

We thank you for your support and look forward to working in partnership with you again in the future.

In Solidarity,

The Demonstrations Committee

I guess this site wants the protesters to get in trouble.
My last post was deleted and all I said was, if you have a court date, the charges WERE NOT DROPPED. Why would this site censor important information?
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
