POLITICAL PRISONER SUPPORT BENEFIT
"FIGHTING THE GREEN SCARE" & OPEN MIC
7.30pm, Sat. May 27th @ Sumac Centre, 245 Gladstone St.
------------------------------
Background...
Since December 2005 the US Government has arrested 11 alleged eco-saboteurs for a series of arsons committed under the banner of the Environment Liberation Front (ELF). Even though the ELF disavows violence and no-one has been hurt, the accused are being branded terrorists, and they mace face life sentences.
This "Green Scare" is being used to justify attacks on civil liberties and state repressionagainst political activists.
The night.....
This benefit will be a fundraiser for "Green Scare" prisoner Darren Thurston, and will be a presentation about the case and a discussion of the implications for activists. Then, there will be a Open Mic session and entertainment - please bring a song, poem, act or whatever.
