(apologies for any cross-postings)


THE "WOODWARD'S 58" NEED YOUR SUPPORT!

In the early morning hours of Saturday, September 22, 2002, the Vancouver 
Police Department Riot Squad stormed into the Woodward's squat which 
homeless people and their supporters had been occupying since the previous

Saturday.  58 people were arrested and charged with violating a Supreme 
Court injunction.

The squatters and their supporters have to return to court November 7,
2002 
to face civil contempt charges.  The two lawyers who have so far
represented 
us cannot possibly handle all of our cases themselves.  THEREFORE, IT IS 
ESSENTIAL THAT WE RAISE SUFFICIENT FUNDS FOR OUR LEGAL DEFENCE.  PLEASE 
DONATE WHATEVER YOU CAN TO THE "WOODWARD'S 58 LEGAL DEFENCE FUND" AND ASK 
YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, CO-WORKERS, UNION, HOUSING CO-OP, CHURCH OR
COMMUNITY 
GROUP TO DO THE SAME.

Please make checks payable to the "People's Opposition" and write "legal 
defence" on them.  Checks can be mailed to:

Woodward's 58 Legal Defence
c/o Anti-Poverty Committee
42 Blood Alley Square
Vancouver, BC, Canada
V6B 1C7
