***PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE DEMONSTRATION TIME HAS CHANGED FROM 9AM TO 12:45PM.  COURT WILL BE AT 2PM AFTER THE DEMO AND EVERYONE IS INVITED TO ATTEND***

Protest:
Tuesday, June 15, 2004
12:45 p.m. SHARP!
402 E. State St.
Trenton, NJ

(directions and ride info below)
 
On May 26th, 2004, 7 activists were indicted and arrested on "animal enterprise terrorism" charges.  Specifically, the activists are alleged to have operated a website for the Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty campaign (www.SHACAmerica.net, www.InsideHLS.com).  For this they face an aggregate of 23 years in jail each and upwards of $1,250,000.
 
This is what the "War on Terror" has become - a War on the First Amendment.

This is a call to action for anyone who believes that no one should be thrown in jail for expressing their views, no matter how controversial or unpopular those views may be.  Regardless of your feelings on animal rights, please attend this event and demonstrate that activists focused on all different issues will stand together to defend free speech.  Make no mistake: this is a frightening step in the Bush administration's path to "War on Domestic Dissidence" - a path that will not end until we stop it!
 
Everyone is invited to attend the arraignment following the protest.  Please help these defendants and show your support by dressing appropriately to attend court.

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
