Thoughts on Solidarity @ Pre-Trial Conference

As the pre-trial conference on May 6th is approaching, many of us are questioning whether or not to call out for a show of solidarity at the court house.

One the one hand, it's important to constantly demonstrate to the authorities that folks do have our backs and won't stand for police brutality and the smashing of dissent. However, it's not going to be a public hearing; our lawyer meets privately with the assistant DA, who will presumably make some kind of offer.

What do you think? Call out for solidarity? Or wait for a more important court date?

Post responses!

I think that it is really important for the people who were arrested to have as much support as possible. If those arrested and their lawyers feel comfortable with supporters there, then I will definitely show up.
