[Sdalliance] meeting for J20 support protests?

[Bo Elder]

I'm happy to stick around after the CRSD meeting and talk about
possibilities for this.  Apparently Tuesday is an international day of
solidarity:

"Tuesday, July 25th, marks the 3rd Annual International Day of Solidarity
with Antifascist Prisoners. In the aftermath of the fiery protests against
the G20—and the arrests of hundreds of comrades—we are again reminded that
the embers of direct action need long-term prisoner support in order to
keep the flame of resistance strong. Some forty G20 protesters remain in
prison in Hamburg and need our solidarity.

Since the beginning of 2017, scores of antifascists and other
revolutionaries have been arrested, and the numbers keep growing. In the
Belarus and the United States alone, several hundred antifascists and
anarchists have been arrested for taking part in anti-government and
antifascist demonstrations. Just this month, in Belarus, Vadim Boyko, was
arrested and transferred to a penal colony for a 2014 fight against
right-wing hooligans, while in the US, over twenty people were arrested in
Charlottesville, Virginia for defending the city against the KKK, and three
people were arrested for participating in the violent demonstrations
against fascists in Sacramento last year. One person, Mike Williams, a
Native American organizer with the Brown Berets, is currently being held in
jail on $500,000 bail."
