[Sdalliance] meeting for J20 support protests?

[Monty Kroopkin]

Am thinking of what San Diegans can do with short notice. A press release (copying mostly from the J20 national action material and adding the international material, along with eblasting that out to allied orgs and doing a simple rally with signs at a federal facility (courthouse?) is do-able with just a few organizers. If the Brown Building has another group lined up to use the space right after CRSD, then we could move to a café for a few.

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."

Can we have a meeting to start planning an action, right after the CRSD council meeting? Seems the easiest way to go.

It is not going to be enough time to allow it to be officially a CRSD action, unfortunately. However, I still think our coalition of groups is the best population to organize this action, so we could ad hoc it and call it the J20 Protest Trumped Charges Protest ? A week day and a federal facility location? By the way, also relevant is the contacts info I and others were compiling for the SD Alliance for Justice (which has stopped meeting). It is a combination of data from Activist San Diego, the OB Green Store, and my own lists. It is in need of various categories of additions still, but it is pretty current and can be used to promote any events we may call. See attached. Monty
