A TIME FOR RAGE: Anger After Grief

WHEN: Monday, September 8th, 7PM-9PM
WHERE: The Lucy Parson’s Center, 549 Columbus Ave Boston, MA
DIRECTIONS: http://lucyparsons.org/directions.php

Eric McDavid was arrested on January 13, 2006, as a direct result of government infiltration and entrapment.

Join us as we learn about Eric’s case, entrapment, the use of informants, and government repression in general.  Unfortunately, these tools of the state are becoming more and more prevalent, and it’s imperative that people understand how they work.

From Eric’s support group:

“After enduring over 2 ½ years of having our loved one stolen from us, we have decided it’s time to hit the road and start screaming from the rooftops about Eric and his case. We only regret that it has taken us this long… but circumstances demanded restraint, and our energies were focused on the struggle for Eric’s freedom. But now we can wait no longer. Eric has suffered enormous injustices at the hands of the state – and we want to do everything we can to make sure that people don’t forget about Eric, that they understand how his case was created, and to ensure that people learn what they can from our experiences these past 2 ½ years.”

After an action alert this weekend to save over one hundred feral cats that are part of an active trap, neuter, and release colony from being killed, the property manager of the building has called the killing off!
