No More Political Prisoners
Political puppetry and music will spotlight the struggle against imprisonment and police repression at two local benefits:
Sunday, March 14, 4 to 7 p.m. Cafe Mawonaj (624 T St. NW; Shaw/Howard University Metro) A donation of $5 is suggested, with all proceeds benefiting the legal defense for Camilo Viveiros, who still faces trumped-up felony charges for his participation in demonstrations at the 2000 Republican National Convention in Philadelphia.
Monday, March 15, 7 p.m.
St. Stephens Church (16th and Newton Streets NW; Columbia Heights Metro) The $5 suggested donation will benefit Books to Prisoners.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
