DROP THE CHARGES AGAINST KRISTY & BRIAN - NEEDLE EXCHANGE SAVE LIVES BANNER DROP!

by 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Banner Drop Crew
Some time New Years eve night a Banner was dropped over looking Freeway 99 (facing) North. It read - Drop the Charges Against Kristy & Brian - Needle Exchange Saves Lives. Sorry, this isn't the actual photo of Banner Dropped, but what the Banner looked like. Solidarity to those for this action!

Kristy & Brian are scheduled to be in a Modesto court this coming Feb. 1rst @ 1:30 pm. A Rally is scheduled for noon. A judge will determine that day whether a "Medical Defense Necessity" will be used for their defense. March 1rst they start Trial! Off the Streets Project was spawned out of this repression. It's a syringe & safe disposal clean-up crew of individuals. Recently 60 syringes were cleaned up in the Airport District around Mono Park where Modesto Needle Exchange ran it's unauthorized & self-organized exchange back in April 2009, before it was shut down. The following Monday at court, a 3 year stay away order was issued to both defendants, 3 years probation, & one defendant, 30 days in county jail. Sound fishy? Hmmmm... In the meantime, up to this point, the Harm Reduction Coalition (Oakland Ca,) has been on board, literally letters from all over the world came in supporting dropping the charges against the two, court after court appearance were made, & an alliance of loyal supporters have joined Kristy & Brian in support. Stand with them Feb. 1. For more info, articles, & whatnot. Do a search in you engine on "Modesto Needle Exchange case".
§Sorry again....

ACTUAL Trial starts March 23rd. Sorry, that's what happens when misinformed or mixed days up.
