DESCRIPTION:Last week, the racist judge that originally presided over Mychal Bell's 
 conviction sent him back to jail for 18 months for "violating probabation" 
 from an earlier conviction. The precise violation was his arrest in the 
 Jena 6 incident. While the racist thugs who started this cycle of events 
 continue to walk free, the Jena 6 are still facing long prison sentences. 
 \n\nOn Wednesday, Nov. 7, the growing movement to free the Jena 6 will face 
 an important challenge. On that day, four of the Six -- Theodore Shaw, 
 Robert Bailey, Bryan Purvis, and Mychal Bell -- are expected in court for 
 pre-trial hearings. The ANSWER Coalition is calling on all progressive and 
 anti-racist forces to come together for rallies in front of local 
 courthouses across the country with the demand to free the Jena 6, and drop 
 all the charges. Demonstrations are already confirmed in Los Angeles, San 
 Francisco, Washington DC, New York City, Chicago, Seattle, and New Haven 
 (CT).\n\nThe case of the Jena 6 has garnered international attention, and 
 shone a spotlight on the racist nature of this country's criminal 
 "injustice" system. Without activists taking action across the country, 
 however, it is certain that their case -- like so many others -- would 
 never have received the attention that it has. Mychal Bell's original 
 conviction never would have been overturned; instead he would have become 
 just another statistic.\n\nOn Sept. 20, tens of thousands of people 
 demonstrated in Jena, Louisiana and in other cities around the country to 
 demand the complete freedom of the Jena 6, and the release of Mychal Bell. 
 A week later, after 10 months in prison, he was granted bail and released. 
 But shortly afterwards, the Louisiana judge that originally convicted Bell 
 struck back, ordering him back into custody. \n\nThe spirit and 
 determination of Sept. 20 protest in Jena has to be replicated over and 
 over across the country on November 7th. The movement is locked in a 
 tug-of-war with the racist Louisiana justice system. Now we have to dig in 
 our heels and until all charges against the Six are dropped, we have to 
 keep on pulling! All out for November 7th to Free the Jena 6!\n
