Jail Solidarity Doesn’t Sound “Peaceful”
Posted by Andy on April 23rd, 2008
How much will the Anarkidz cost Minnesota taxpayers? No seriously, the RNC is paying through the nose to have their convention here and they are bringing a pretty build group of sales tax contributors into town to help fill the coffers, but what about the people who plan to disrupt the RNC’s big dance? What are they doing to help?
Oh I guess they are planning for armageddon.
Peace activists, students and others who plan to demonstrate during the Republican National Convention learned Tuesday what they can do if they run into problems.
A group called the Coldsnap Legal Collective told about 30 people at Macalester College what they should do if they are questioned, detained or arrested. The group was formed in January to create a network of legal support for protesters.
Among other things, Coldsnap trains people on legal rights, jail solidarity and consequences in the event of an arrest.
What the heck is jail solidarity?
