2008 RNC One-Year Anniversary Info Packet Available

In anticipation of the one-year anniversary of the 2008 RNC in St. Paul, Minnesota, we've compiled this packet for the media and other interested observers. <!--break--> <img class="dada-image-center" src="http://rochester.indymedia.org/sites/default/files/migrate_dada/saintpaul_rnc_one_year_later_press_packet.pdf"><br>One year after the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., the aftermath remains newsworthy. The RNC was for many of us our first taste of a police state; the astounding violence against protesters, bystanders, journalists and others directed by Sheriff Bob Fletcher and other authorities shocked and radicalized many of us. We have since come to realize that these instances of raids, intimidation and violence play out regularly in our society, particularly in communities of color and working class communities, and will almost assuredly replay themselves at upcoming summits such as the G20 in Pittsburgh later this September. Thus, keeping the RNC in our collective consciousness is critical. You can find it here http://rnc08arrestees.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/rncpresspacket.pdf or on the homepage of http://RNCaftermath.org The package includes: •Courtwatch: Arrestee Statistics •Felony Cases Update •Civil Litigation Information: Pending Suits •Support Sites and Other Resources •Multimedia: Still Images and Video for Media Use •Upcoming Dates •Contacts for the Media The information in this packet is free for use and dissemination by your organization, in whole or in part, with credit to the Community RNC Arrestee Support Structure or as otherwise noted.
