  West Coast J20 Solidarity Tour -- San DiegoPlease join us for the San Diego stop of the two week West Coast J20Solidarity Tour.March 15, 2018 || 700PMMetate InfoshopHarvey Milk St (one block north of University Ave) between Centre andNormalLook for the Red Lights - Can't Miss It!On January 20th, 2017, militarized police in Washington, D.C. attackedand mass-arrested over 200 protestors at an anti-fascist,anti-capitalist march, charging 214 of them each with an unprecedentedeight felonies. Yet even while facing decades in prison, 194 defendantsrefused to cooperate with prosecutors or accept plea bargains,supporting each other to beat the charges but also to defend thelegitimacy of uncompromising resistance to the Trump regime. As aresult, the first trial against 6 defendants ended with a verdict of notguilty on all charges, forcing prosecutors to drop charges against 129of the arrested. However, the state is now doubling down against 59remaining defendants, hoping to divide the powerful movement that hassuccessfully defended the arrestees. In an era of escalating repression,these charges aim to stomp out protest and resistance through broadconspiracy statutes, demonization of anarchists, and divide-and-conquertactics.In this touring presentation, you'll hear an overview and criticalanalysis of the case this far, highlighting its role and significance inthe changing landscape of political repression in the United States.From the broad use of conspiracy law to criminalize all aspects ofprotest organizing to the dramatic victory against the state in thefirst trial this past December, the case offers insights into strategiesfor repression in the new administration, connections between differenttargeted social movements, and the potential of collective defense toeffectively defeat the government's efforts. But most importantly,you'll learn how this case fits into the broader struggle against Trumpand the world that made him, and why it is critical that we support the59 remaining defendants until they all walk free.Tour Schedule    3/3: Seattle, WA - Pipsqueak Gallery (173 16th Ave), 7:00 PM    3/4: Olympia, WA - New Moon (113 4th Ave W), 7:00 PM    3/5: Portland, OR - Cider Riot (807 NE Couch), 6:30 PM    3/6: Eugene, OR - Wesley Center (2520 Harris St), 6:30 PM    3/7: Southern Oregon    3/8: Chico, CA - Pageant Theater (351 E 6th St), 7:00 PM    3/9: Sacramento, CA - Organize Sacramento office (1714 Broadway),5:00 PM    3/11: Oakland, CA - Hasta Muerte Coffee (2701 Fruitvale Ave @ E 27thSt), 5:00 PM    3/12: San Francisco, CA - Station 40 (3030 16th St, Ste B), 7:00 PM    3/13: Santa Cruz, CA - Freight Building (119 Center St), 6:30 PM    3/14: Los Angeles, CA - The Y (1811 Johnston St, Ste C), 7:00 PM    3/15: San Diego - Metate Infoshop    3/16: Flagstaff, AZ - Taala Hooghan Infoshop (1704 N. 2nd St)    3/17: Phoenix, AZ    3/18: Tucson, AZ - Global Justice Center (225 E. 26th St)
