Four people arrested at Safe Streets demo

Four people were arrested at 3:00 today at a demo against the 
Safe Streets Act. One person was released and three are still 
being held.

More than fifty people are still out in front of the cop shop at 
Main and Hastings, squeegeeing and panhandling but the cops are 
in full force and are trying to use horses to push people off the 
streets.

Please come down and stand in solidarity with those arrested and 
all the people who are harassed and ticketed by the police for 
being poor and trying to make a living on the streets.
