The Struggle for Justice After the RNC

The RNC 8 are a group of Twin Cities residents, nearly all in their 20s, who were initially charged with conspiracy to riot in furtherance of terrorism under the Minnesota version of the Patriot Act. Although recently the terrorism charges were dropped, they still each face 5 years in prison for organizing peaceful direct action against the Republican National Convention last September.

Come hear them tell their story, and find out how and why to get involved in their defense campaign.

Speakers include:
Gay Bicking, mother of Monica Bicking of the RNC 8
The RNC 8, including University of Minnesota student Max Specktor

We'll also show video clips from Twin Cities Indymedia and more.
