1. Dinner for Scott tomorrow!
* When: Tuesday, May 25th, 6:30pm
* Where: PPNA Building, 821 E. 35th St., Minneapolis
It’s time for a pizza dinner! SCSC members will be hosting a delicious pizza dinner

legal defense fund.

Word on the street is that a scrumptious brunch will be served on Sunday, June 6th.
Pancakes, waffles, tofu scramble, bloody marys, mimosas, coffee, tea, various kinds
of bread, live music could all be there waiting for you, but you didn’t hear that
from us. All donations will go to the legal defense fund.

3. 06/24: Prison Justice PMA at the US Social Forum
SCSC is co-sponsoring a People’s Movement Assembly at the US Social Forum this June
in Detroit (info at: http://www.ussf2010.org/). Here’s the description:

The U.S. is a prison empire: racist mass incarceration, political repression,
torture and widespread criminalization. The organizations struggling against this
state violence have been limited by geographic isolation, generational gaps and the
sheer amount of work to be done. Although we face particular challenges by region or
circumstance, we share a vision of justice and solidarity against confinement and
control. This Assembly would be a vital step in making our work more national in
scope and more coordinated in action. Organizations involved in anti-prison and
prisoner support work will identify points of unity and plan shared actions. These
include greater coordination in regional campaigns around shared issues and a
national strategy of action for prison justice groups that unites our diverse
campaigns. Largely through small group discussions, this Assembly will serve as the
culmination for a number of proposed workshops that address imprisonment and
repression. The Assembly will emphasize strategic areas of collaboration and
resistance to racist and political repression. It is organized by a network of
groups organizing against prisons and the drug war, in support of political
prisoners and formerly incarcerated people.

4. 07/23: Day of Solidarity w/ Scott DeMuth
…start planning now!
* When: Friday, July 23rd
* Where: Your town
We’re putting out a call for events around the nation to show solidarity with Scott
as he prepares for trial in September. Host a fundraiser…a concert, a house party, a
movie screening, a brunch, a play. Do something creative…street theater, a puppet
show, an art auction. Stage a rally. Convene a panel of speakers. Whatever you want.

Anything you can do to raise awareness of Scott’s case and to help us raise money
for his legal defense will be amazing and ever so greatly appreciated. Email us at
scottandcarrie [at] riseup [dot] net to let us know what you have planned!
