This Sunday Night -- NATO arrestees' emergency fundraiser for bail $

[lgbtlib...@aol.com]

Regardless of political perspective, all who supported actions against the NATO summit should agree that those still in jail due to arrests during the summit should be out on bond as soon as possible.  

For all the great work that the National Lawyers Guild does, raising bail is not something that they can legally do for their clients. 

 

That is up to individuals and organizations not legally representing the imprisoned.

Fortunately, Cary's Lounge, 2251 W. Devon Avenue, has kindly agreed to allow their space to be used for an emergency bail fundraiser this Sunday night beginning at 8 PM. 

 

The Exponential  has kindly volunteered to play a live set too!

 

There will be a voluntary cover near the door.  Suggested donation is $10 -- more if you can, less if you can't, and of course, no one turned away who can't or won't donate.

As of yesterday, the Guild still does not have definitive information about everyone who is still incarcerated, let alone what their charges and bail are.  They hope to have that information in the next few days.

All funds raised will go directly to those whom the Guild is able to identify as people who, as friends and family members, are trying to raise bail funds for their loved ones. 

We can and should debate what went down on Sunday night, but what's most important right now is that there are people still in jail who no doubt are desperate to get out immediately.  We should do what we can to make that happen.

 

CAN'T ATTEND BUT WANT TO HELP OUT ANYWAY?
