DC & SF Protests gearing up; activists denied seats on domestic flight

An affinity group constituted primarily of university students from the state of Wisconsin have been denied their pre-purchased seats on a commercial flight from Milwaukee to Washington D.C. because the federal government has declared them "potential terrorists" and thus a high security risk. These students and community members were attempting to travel to the anti-war demonstrations in Washington D.C. this weekend. The last we have heard from them is that they are sitting in in the airport to protest the ludicrous crackdown on their civil liberties.

In solidarity,

Peter Barwis student organizer
