There will be an emergency action at the Orange County District Attorney's office in Santa Ana on June 1st at 4 PM. If you are outraged at the way the police handled the situation that has resulted in a known bigot who now walks free while five demonstrators are facing serious felony charges, come out to stand up as a community. We will demand that:

1) All charges against the accused be dropped.
2) Criminal charges be filed against Hal Netkin.
3) An independent investigation into misconduct be brought against the Garden Grove Police Department.

Bring drums, accordians, jaranas, still and video cameras, chants, and your good spirit!

Please be advised that The May 25 Legal Defense is a coalition of community members and organizations that has come together with the following Points of Unity:

• This is a nonviolent, peaceful demonstration. We
will organize and make preparations to best ensure
everyone’s safety.

• We will not provoke nor engage with others in a way
that threatens our security. We will also be wary of
those who may seek to provoke or engage us in ways
that are dangerous and/or criminal.

• We will offer solidarity to victims of aggression by
police or other oppositional parties. We will determine what the best course of action is for the
individual and the group.

• “No Human is Illegal!” We oppose this fictitious
idea of “border” that fuels racist nationalism, helps
to maintain the power of certain nation-states, and
divides us as human beings connected and dependent on the Earth.

• We stand together and work collectively across
national, racial, gender, class, generational, sexual
orientation, and other lines that seek to pit us
against one another. Under the banner of anti-racism
and internationalism, we unite and will work to build
a long-term movement for a “world in which many worlds exist.”
