Drop the Charges Against Stephanie McGarrah! #OscarGrant

On November 5, 2010, 152 people were arrested in Oakland, California at E 17th St and 6th Ave, following a protest march in response to the sentencing of former BART police Officer Johannes Mehserle for the murder of Oscar Grant.

Among them we Stephanie McGarrah who, as one comrade recounts, was "pushed into a group of cops by a civilian who falsely told them that she had started a fire. They put her on her back, cuffed her, and took her belongings before she was arrested so there is no way to link them to her, including her phone which had all of the contacts she needed. She was charged with arson and transferred to Santa Rita". She is stuck in Santa Rita by herself, and has health issues that I am certain the guards are ignoring and/or making worse.

This page is to keep friends and supporters up to date on the status of Stephanie's case.
