DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an evening of vegan desserts and a silent auction to 
 raise money for the AETA4 defense fund. More details to come -please check 
 the website below.\n\nThe AETA 4 are four Bay Area individuals who have 
 been accused of violating the “Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act.”  They 
 were arrested, in the very first use of this sweeping law, for activity 
 like “chalking defamatory slogans,” creating fliers, and protesting 
 while wearing masks..\n\nWHO ARE THE AETA 4?\nThe AETA4 are four 
 individuals  –Adriana Stumpo, Nathan Pope, Joseph Buddenberg, and Maryam 
 Khajavi– facing federal charges under the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act 
 (AETA) for allegedly having “demonstrated outside the private residences 
 of several University of California Berkeley researchers” and of having 
 “marched, chanted, and chalked defamatory comments on the public 
 sidewalks in front of the residences.”  The FBI also claims that some of 
 the defendants produced and/or distributed flyers containing the home 
 addresses of vivisectors.\n\nWHAT CAN I DO?\nThe most urgent need right now 
 is to raise enough money to fund a formidable legal defense team. The 
 prosecution of the AETA4 marks a dramatic escalation in the federal 
 government’s war on animal rights activism, and it must not go 
 unchallenged.  The AETA jeopardizes our very right to protest by 
 prohibiting any sort of “interference” with an animal enterprise – 
 whether it be a circus or a vivisection laboratory – that allegedly 
 places another person in fear for his or her safety. The AETA will be 
 tested for the first time in this prosecution.  We have the opportunity to 
 assemble a strong defense team to challenge this law and defeat these 
 charges—but we need your help.  If convicted, the accused face up to five 
 years in prison and the government will very likely pursue further such 
 prosecutions.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/07/15/18608255.php
