DESCRIPTION:Thurs Oct 25th 7pm\n\nMaya Cruz from the Chicago Revolution Club speaks on 
 her case and what's at stake: 7 years in prison for a SILENT protest in 
 support of undocumented immigrants?! Meanwhile the Trump/Pence regime 
 escalates their fascist attacks on immigrants. \n \nThis is an OUTRAGE-all 
 charges must be dropped now!\n\nOn March 1, 2018, Maya with three other 
 Revolution Club members, walked into the University of Chicago student 
 center and held up sheets of paper announcing 11 minutes of silence for 11 
 million undocumented immigrants and stood silently for 11 minutes. As she 
 was leaving the University of Chicago police attacked her, grabbing her 
 roughly, arrested her, dragged her down the stairs and out of the building, 
 then charged HER with two felony counts of assault on a police officer!\n 
 \nThe attack on Maya is part of a nationwide clamp down on the Revolution 
 Club.  In LA, 11 members of Refuse Fascism and the Revolution Club have 
 been criminally charged for engaging in and/or supporting non-violent civil 
 disobedience and political protests which took place from September 2017 
 through March 2018, including holding banners across the length of the Los 
 Angeles 101 Freeway, with one stating "Trump/Pence Must Go!" and several 
 protests at UCLA campus, including a disruption of Treasury Secretary Steve 
 Mnuchin.\n \nMaya faces seven years in prison for a SILENT PROTEST in 
 support of immigrants
