DESCRIPTION:Announcing a day of community discussions and workshops, following Friday's 
 benefit event at the RCNV:\n\n\nRADICAL PICNIC, Workshops and 
 Discussions:\n(Meet 2:00pm Saturday December 9th at the Beehive house, 315 
 Walnut Street.)\n\nPrisoner Letter Writing 101 \nThe ins and outs, do’s 
 and don’ts. Letterwriting is a simple and rewarding activity to lift the 
 spirits of prisoners and express your support.\n\nDealing with Cops and 
 Feds\nA participatory know-your-rights workshop including a series of 
 role-plays. The politically motivated spectrum of cop/agent harassment will 
 be emphasized, while also incorporating everyday police-related 
 scenarios.\n\nResponses to State Repression\nA group discussion on 
 strategy. After an overview of the past year’s attacks on activists, we 
 will ask -  How do we want to respond to state repression?\n\nBasic 
 Security\nTips, techniques, and common sense guidelines to protect 
 ourselves from the dark hand of modern repression.\n\nLocal Environmental 
 Campaigns\nA discussion about eco-destructive development in our local 
 region.\n\n\nFREE DINNER AND MUSICAL PERFORMANCES:\nFollowing the afternoon 
 of workshops and discussions, dinner will be provided by Food Not Bombs, 
 and there will be a free benefit show, also at the Beehive, starting at 
 approximately 7:00pm:\n\nFeaturing RAUM (Kaczynskian jug band!) \nand more 
 spasmodic accordion music, TBA.\n\nOppose the criminalization of 
 dissent!\n\nThe term “Green Scare” refers to the federal government’s 
 expanding prosecution efforts against animal liberation and ecological 
 activists, which is strikingly similar to the “Red Scare” of the 1950s. 
 Recent sweeping legislation such as the Patriot Act and Animal Enterprise 
 Terrorism Act redefine “terrorism” so broadly that anyone who advocates 
 for social change can be criminalized for thinking, speaking or acting in a 
 manner that threatens corporate profits and the rule of law. Activists are 
 facing potential multiple life sentences for crimes against property, 
 crimes that have harmed no-one. Others (the SHAC 7) have been sentenced to 
 years in prison for simply running a website and speaking in support of 
 direct action. Look out, everyone is a potential terrorist.\n\n These 
 events are part of the International Days of Solidarity with Green Scare 
 Indictees, Detainees, and Political Prisoners. \nAlso, don't miss the 
 benefit event taking place at the RCNV on Friday, December 8th, with 
 speakers and film screenings. (there's another SC-Indymedia article about 
 it)\nFor more information:\n\ngreenscare.org - Illuminating the new war on
