The Stonewall 4 Needs You NOW!
https://cascade.madmimi.com/promotion_images/1727/2894/original/Stonewall4_Collage.jpg?1493583854
Next appearance June 20, 2017 9:00 am to Part A courtroom 4th Floor
Tuesday, June 20, the Stonewall 4 are scheduled to appear in court, when the Judge is scheduled to make a decision on motions to dismiss the case.
We’re calling on everyone to stand up in support and demand that all the unjust charges against them dropped, and that the NYPD cease colluding with Trump supporters to intimidate and target people.
These 4 people were arrested while at the LGBTQ Solidarity with Muslims rally at the Stonewall Inn Feb. 4 to oppose the first Muslim Ban. After being harassed by hostile Trump supporters they were then unjustly arrested by NYPD.
This is an early example of a disturbing and growing pattern whereby fanatical Trump supporters, increasingly organized, harass people exercising their right to protest and oppose this fascist regime in order to try to provoke an incident to create a pretext for police to come in and arrest people
Here's what we need you to do:
1) Organize people to call in: Friday June 16th; and Monday June 19th (Script and brief on the case is below) -
Flood the District Attorney’s & Mayor’s offices with phone calls to demand that all charges be dropped on the "Stonewall 4."
* Assigned Assistant D.A. Truheart: 212-335-4307
* Manhattan D.A. Cyrus Vance: 212-335-9000;
* Mayor Bill DeBlasio: 212-369-9675
* And call City Council Members and ask them to join in demanding the charges be dropped (List available by emailing us ([email protected]).)
2) Tuesday, June 20 9:00am – PACK THE COURT! 100 Centre Street Manhattan Criminal Court
We Demand: Drop the Charges on the Stonewall 4
Sign the Petition here (http://www.stoppoliceterror.org/r?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.change.org%2Fp%2Fstonewall4&e=4160b7d4c80bd7ff2829463c3b9e0a03&utm_source=riseupoctober&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=jun16_18&n=1)

Here's the Script When You Call In to the D.A.'s and Mayor's Offices:
I am calling in regards to the the case of the Stonewall 4, including Edward "Noche" Diaz and three others, scheduled to appear on June 20th.
These 4 people were at an LGBTQ Solidarity with Muslims rally in front of the Stonewall Inn, and after being harassed by hostile Trump supporters they were then unjustly arrested by NYPD. This is an early example of a disturbing pattern which is having a chilling effect on the right to assemble and protest.
I am demanding that the charges against them be dropped, and that the NYPD cease colluding with Trump supporters to intimidate and target people.
(NOTE: When calling the mayor or the city council you may include lines such as "I urge/insist/demand/request that you join me in demanding...")

THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME MUST GO!
July 15, 2017, in cities across the country, DEMONSTRATE!
In the name of humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America!
From RefuseFascism’s Call to Action (http://www.stoppoliceterror.org/r?u=https%3A%2F%2Frefusefascism.org%2Fthe-call-to-action-drive-out-the-trumppence-regime%2F&e=4160b7d4c80bd7ff2829463c3b9e0a03&utm_source=riseupoctober&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=jun16_18&n=2): “The Trump/Pence Regime is a Fascist Regime, Not insult or exaggeration, this is what it is. For the future of humanity and the planet, we, the people, must drive this regime out.
“Fascism is not just a gross combination of horrific reactionary policies. It is a qualitative change in how society is governed. Fascism foments and relies on xenophobic nationalism, racism, misogyny, and the aggressive re-institution of oppressive ‘traditional values.’ In Trump’s election campaign he encouraged and fed on the threat and use of violence to build a movement and come to power. In his inaugural address he pledged allegiance only to this movement. What is crucial to understand is that once in power fascism essentially eliminates traditional democratic rights.
“Even as the Trump/Pence Regime is moving fast, they have not yet fully consolidated their regime, or, as yet, been able to implement their full program. But, this is their objective and it is very possible. It might only take a single serious crisis—international or domestic—for this regime to drop the hammer. We do not have much time.
“Let it not be said that we did not move heaven and earth to drive out this regime. This must be a moment in history when millions stand together with conviction and courage, overcoming fear and uncertainty, to resist and say NO! Not just for ourselves, but in the name of humanity.”

The Blood Is at the Doorstep (http://www.stoppoliceterror.org/r?u=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F205828363&e=4160b7d4c80bd7ff2829463c3b9e0a03&utm_source=riseupoctober&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=jun16_18&n=7)
On April 30, 2014, Dontre Hamilton, a 31-year-old unarmed black man diagnosed with schizophrenia, was shot 14 times and killed by a Milwaukee police officer in a popular downtown park. Dontre's death sparked months of unrest and galvanized his family to activism. Filmed over three years in the direct aftermath of his death, this intimate verité documentary follows his family as they struggle to find answers and challenge a criminal justice system stacked against them. With Dontre’s mother, Maria, and brother, Nate, as our guides, we take a painful look inside a movement born of personal tragedy and injustice. This explosive documentary takes a behind the scenes look at one of America’s most pressing human rights struggles, and asks the audience: what would you do, if this violence found its way to your doorstep?
