DESCRIPTION:Gather on the SF court house steps this Friday at Noon to support the ACAC 
 19! Our comrades will be in court for what will likely be the pivotal 
 pretrial day that could be the final before a trial date is set. Please 
 join the ACAC 19 support committee in an anti-repression rally and speakout 
 over the Friday lunch hour and show your solidarity with our 
 comrades.\n\nThis will be an important day in court for the Anti-colonial, 
 Anti-capitalist (ACAC) 19 and those comrades who are interested in 
 observing and listening to the full day of pretrial hearings put forth by 
 their attorneys are encouraged to do so. However, the ACAC 19 support 
 committee is not calling for comrades to pack the court for this specific 
 date. Many thanks to all who made last month’s court date an impressive 
 display of solidarity. Let’s return to the steps of the court house in 
 even greater numbers this Friday at lunch and make sure the judge, the DA 
 and the cops know that we have our comrade’s backs and that they are far 
 from alone in their struggle against colonialism, capitalism and the 
 state.\n\nBring banners, signs, buttons and more. Solidarity is our weapon 
 against the state! Our love for our comrades is stronger than their cages 
 and their courts!\n\nFax/Call the DA: For those unable to make the Friday 
 rally & speakout, we encourage you to flood the phone and fax machine of 
 the SF district attorney’s office throughout this week demanding they 
 immediately drop all charges against the ACAC 19 and end their campaign of 
 repression. Please see this previous guide for calling and faxing 
 suggestions:

 The ACAC 19 is a group of anti-colonial, anti-capitalists who were beaten, 
 arrested and then subjected to a media smear campaign by the San Francisco 
 Police Department on October 6, 2012. The arrests occurred during a series 
 of demonstrations on Columbus Day weekend against colonization and empire, 
 as well as the racist celebrations of genocide and conquest. The actions 
 were organized in solidarity with indigenous struggles in the Bay Area and 
 beyond and to mark the eleven-year anniversary of the Afghanistan war and 
 occupation. The police and DA have worked to make an example out of the 
 ACAC 19, issuing sloppy and accusatory press releases, confiscating their 
 cell phones, bringing the gang task force into the investigation, 
 subpoenaing twitter accounts, and harassing individual members of the 19 
 since their brutal arrests. In the wake of rebellious and militant 
 political activity across the country, we see this as one of many attempts 
 to control, intimidate, and silence radical movements.\n\nThe ACAC 19 are 
 currently facing multiple misdemeanor charges ranging from unlawful 
 assembly to battery on a uniformed officer.\n\nFor more information on the 
 ACAC 19 please visit the support committee’s blog at:
