DESCRIPTION:Benefit for the Mono Park 2 at Bound Together Book Store\n8pm Sat. Sept. 
 19th\n\nModesto Needle Exchange was started in Mono Park in early 2009 in 
 an effort to offer clean syringes to injection drug users and also provide 
 the safe and legal disposal of dirty ones with an overall goal of reducing 
 rates of infectious disease and prevent unsafe disposal of used syringes in 
 Stanislaus County. This area of the Central Valley is plagued by extremely 
 high rates of Hepatitis C and HIV/AIDS cases directly related to injection 
 drug use, nationally recognized high rates of methamphetamine use, and the 
 ongoing sharing and unsafe and illegal disposal of used 
 syringes.\n\nRepression by Stanislaus County Sheriffs whipped together a 
 sting, wire tapped, and surveillance operation to have the self-organized 
 Needle Exchange shut down and now two volunteers w/ the Exchange face court 
 battles and punishment for trying to help stop the spread of Hep.C/HIV in 
 their local community. \n\nThe two charged in the case invites you out to 
 hear the story and how you can help.\n\nDROP THE CHARGES – SUPPORT THE
