 Solidarity Picket for Russian Socialists, Anarchists, Feminists and LGBT 
 Activists Facing Repression\n\nSan Francisco. Friday, November 30, 2012, 
 11:00am-1:00pm.\n \nBay Area in Solidarity with Russian Leftists Facing 
 Repression by Putin Government\n \nCommunity groups, feminists, socialists, 
 leftists, queers and concerned individuals in the Bay Area will picket 
 outside the Russian Consulate as part of a worldwide call to action in 
 support of Russian activists facing repression and jail by the Putin 
 government.  Held on Friday, November 30, the picket will protest President 
 Vladimir Putin’s ongoing campaign to threaten, beat, arrest and jail 
 members of the Left Front, the Russian Socialist Movement, Occupy Moscow, 
 LGBT, feminist and human rights groups, and other socialist and anarchist 
 organizations opposed to authoritarian rule.  Protesters in Russia are 
 facing the same punishment as the feminist punk band Pussy Riot defendants, 
 who in August received two-year sentences for chanting a prayer (“Virgin 
 Mary: Rid Us of Putin”) in a nearly empty Moscow cathedral.  Convicted of 
 “hooliganism motivated by religious hatred,” defendants Maria Alyokhina 
 and Nadezda Tolokonnikova are imprisoned in Perm and Mordovia. The picket 
 will take place on Friday, November 30, 11:00am-1:00pm at the Russian 
 Consulate, 2790 Green Street (at Baker Street) in San Francisco (on #41 & 
 #45 Muni bus lines). Initiated by the Freedom Socialist Party.  Call 
 415-730-2917 or email t_mendicino@yahoo.com for more information or to set 
 up an interview.  \n \n #         #          #\n\n
