9/16: Memorial service for Rickey Williams, 2-4pm

Greetings, AC4A friends,



Below please find details for a memorial service for our good friend
and ally, Rickey Williams, the former director of the Black men's
program at the Stop AIDS Project. Rickey was a great emerging leader
within our LGBT and Black communities, another young life cut far too
short. Still, short as his time was, we are truly honored to have
known him as long as we did.

Help Support A.N.S.W.E.R. lawsuit for free speech

Here is a letter we're forwarding from our allies at A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop
War and End Racism).

Dear friends and supporters,


We are appealing for your support as our free speech lawsuit against the San
Francisco Department of Public Works (DPW) reaches a critical stage. As you may be
aware from articles that have recently appeared in the Bay Guardian, the SF Weekly
and elsewhere, the DPW is attempting to impose fines that now total more than
$45,000 against the local ANSWER Coalition for postering violations.

Our lawsuit against this outrageous and vindictive attempt to silence and/or
bankrupt us is set for a hearing in Superior Court this Friday, Sept. 15, 9:30 a.m.,
at 400 McAllister St. (corner Polk St.), 3rd Floor, Dept. 302.

IF YOU CAN, JOIN US IN COURT THIS FRIDAY TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT. ALSO, PLEASE CONSIDER
MAKING A CONTRIBUTION BY CLICKING HERE TO HELP US COVER THE RISING AND BURDENSOME
COSTS INVOLVED IN THIS IMPORTANT FREE SPEECH CASE.
