DESCRIPTION:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nSAVE THE 
 DATE\n!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nSTART INVITING 
 PEOPLE\n!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nThe next No Justice No BART 
 action is scheduled for Thursday, September 8, at the Powell Street 
 Station, beginning at 4:30 PM. Stay tuned for more information. More 
 details will be posted shortly, and there will be a press conference next 
 Monday (9/5) to let everyone know what to expect from this action.\n\nThe 
 plan for this action was developed by a group of folks who come from 
 different communities and organizing initiatives, it is not just a "No 
 Justice No BART" production.  Our groups intend to “protest” outside of 
 the fare gates, inside the Powell BART station (you will not need a ticket 
 to join us). We have made this strategy public and announced the action 
 well ahead of time, to preempt some of the disingenuous media furor around 
 “inconvenienced” passengers and to create a “Catch-22” for 
 BART.\n\nSince BART has been very clear in insisting that we should 
 “protest outside the fare gates”, they will have a choice. If we 
 mobilize enough people, in order to keep riders moving into and out of the 
 station, they will have to open the emergency exits and let folks ride for 
 free, just as they do for all sorts of big sporting events, antiwar 
 protests, and even past No Justice No BART protests.\n\nOn the other hand, 
 if BART police decide to close the station, or otherwise interfere with or 
 attack our protest outside the fare gates, we have made it clear that we 
 are prepared to respond by moving the protest to other stations and/or 
 inside the fare gates. If they choose this course of action, BART will be 
 demonstrating that their “free speech zones” are bullshit, and they 
 will be taking responsibility for causing a major disruption to their 
 passengers.\n\nWe view this action as a tactical assay to see if we can 
 protest in a way that inconveniences BART administrators but not BART 
 passengers. At the same time, our overall strategy has not changed and we 
 affirm our rationale for bringing protest inside BART stations and trains. 
 Any blame for any inconvenience caused by such protests should be placed on 
 the spineless and amoral BART Board of “Directors”, and the cops they 
 permit to harass, brutalize, and murder BART passengers. Anyone complaining 
 about inconvenienced commuters should be politely reminded that "police 
 murder is inconvenient".\n\nPS: There will be roles for people on the 
 platforms as well as above ground and we will maintain a presence at 
 multiple BART stations. Anyone interested in helping organize should email 
 nojusticenobart@gmail.com. \n
