On Saturday, April 12 a benefit show was schedualed for Sherman Austin from Raise the Fist (raisethefist.com), and the Long Beach REACH Center (which is now closing due to LBPD and City Prosecutor). Police apparently contacted the organizers of the show which was being held at the Youth Drop in Center in Garden Grove, CA and said they wouldn't allow the show to happen accusing raisethefist along with one of the bands, Over the Counter Intelligence, who who was scheduled to play, as being extremist and "terrorist".

This is the second time in a row police have shut down a benefit show for Raise the Fist.
