On September 3rd of 2003 Sherman Austin of http://www.raisethefist.com must turn himself in at the MDC Federal Jail in Downtown LA. He will serve a sentence of 1 year, 3 years strict probation with restricted computer use as well as other harsh restrictions for having an "illegal link" on his site. He was also fined $2,100 retribution taxes. The brotha needs help paying off the fine, so on August 29th we'll be having a going away benefit show for him to raise funds. We'll also throw more shows for Sherman until his fines and legal expenses are paid off and any money raised over the amount needed will go to other political prisoners. We'd like anyone that wants to support Sherman and other political prisoners to attend this event or/and pass out info about his case and upcoming events for him.

Hardcore, Hip Hop, Punk, and Spoken word performances will highlight a night of ideals, ideas, music, and mayhem. Sherman Austin and his friends will share their thoughts with the crowd, with special guest Zack De La Rocha from Rage Against The Machine. The night will be a celebration - Zack, Sherman, and his friends, will reflect on their experiences with oppression, so come to relax, party, and show your solidarity with every falsely accused victim of the state. Remember, this isn't just about fantastic music, fantastic people, it's about making the world a better place. It's about resistance and fighting for the world we deserve to live in. It's about doing whatever is necessary to resist this system no matter how repressive it might be. The more we are under attack, the more we will continue to intensify our struggle, and the more we will fight until the machine is put to rest. An injury to one is an injury to all. They may have been able to lock Sherman up, but hundreds, thousands, millions more are ready to take his place and continue fighting even stronger.

When: FRIDAY AUGUST 29, 2003
