Subject: [R2D2] JAIL SOLIDARITY :: Bail fund for Philly 48
48 ACTIVISTS REMAIN BEHIND BARS IN PHILADELPHIA WHO NEED OUR HELP.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, AUGUST 14,2000:
As of this morning, Monday, August 14, there are still 48 Republican
convention protesters incarcerated in Philadelphia jails. 3 are facing
felony charges and the remaining arrestees are facing misdemeanor charges.
$20,000 in bail is still urgently needed today to free those in
Philadelphia, and donations and loans are immediately accepted. Your $5,
$10, $20, $50 & $100 and larger donations will go a long way to freeing
these activists.
How to help:

Philadelphia Direct Action Group (P-DAG) at:
PNC Bank

Philadelphia, PA 19103

routing info: http://www.thepartysover.org

website.
P-DAG is willing to take loans for bail funds, again please see the website
for details on how long you can expect to wait for repayment.
Activists are dealing with brutal conditions in jail, despite the mainstrea=
m
media's portrayal of the Philadelphia Police Department as "using
restraint", the truth is activists have been beaten and denied access to
medical care.
We need to help free these activists immediately and assist them in dealing
with the legal process that they still face.
Please note: daily updates will be provided on the status of those still
incarcerated. Please assume that bail is still urgently needed until an
update is sent with notification that everyone is out of jail in
Philadelphia.
