A NIGHT OF SOLIDARITY IN SUPPORT OF THE SHAC7 AND ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS

Monday, November 19th
Bye and Bye
NE Alberta St & NE 10th Ave
7pm

Please join us for an evening of legal updates and letter writing to commemorate the SHAC7's one year anniversary in prison. Support SHAC7 CDs, t-shirts, stickers and buttons will be available, and we will be collecting donations for their legal defense. Let's make sure they know they are not forgotten!

The SHAC7 are 6 activists and a corporation, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty USA Inc., that have been found guilty of multiple federal felonies for their alleged role in simply campaigning to close down the notorious animal testing lab, Huntingdon Life Sciences. There are currently 5 individuals that are in federal prison. They are not accused of actually smashing windows, liberating animals or even attending demonstrations, rather reporting on and encouraging others to engage in legal demonstrations and supporting the ideology of direct action.

After being found guilty, they are beginning their appeal. Unfortunately this appeal will be done from prison. During their stay they need your support! Finances, spreading the word about their case, books, letters or just a friendly 'hello'! It just takes a few minutes to brighten the lives of political prisoners! Please come out!

Cool! The SHAC prisoners can use our support for sure.

Hey, pdx animal defense league. I saw this on this site, and I am wondering if you have any plans to address this at all?  http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2007/11/367918.shtml

If so, I would be interested in participating. Just say where, when, what to do.
