Eight people organizing dissent around the 2008 Republican National Convention were "pre-emptively" targeted by the Ramsey County Sheriff prior to the RNC. The "RNC 8" face serious charges including "Conspiracy to Riot in the Furtherance of Terrorism" and are believed to be the first people to be charged under the state of Minnesota's version of the USA Patriot Act. This town hall gathering on January 25 was a community response to the authorities conduct. (video: ~58 min.)

Our World In Depth is aired locally twice weekly on MTN (Saturday at 9pm and Tuesday at 8am) and thrice weekly on SPNN (Tuesday at 5pm and midnight and Wednesday at 10am) immediately following Democracy Now!, and online at OurWorldInDepth.org.
