We were able to shut down Barbara Johnson’s attempt to ram through the anti occupy resolution with 9 city council members voting to send it to committee for a public hearing. A huge thanks to everyone who called, emailed and packed the City Council chambers today. We need your support now more than ever.

This resolution would criminalize all citizens not travelling “without delay” en route to another destination who are on city owned or controlled plazas and Nicollet Mall after midnight. (See: http://secondward.blogspot.com/2012/04/resolution-targeting-occupy-use-of.html)

TAKE ACTION:

1) Call Mayor RT Rybak to ask him why his Chief of Staff sent out an email urging city council members to ram this attack on our rights through with no public hearing. (See: http://www.startribune.com/local/blogs/147344505.html)

2) Call Samuels, Goodman, Johnson and Colvin Roy to ask them why they voted against sending this surprise attack on our civil rights and liberties to committee for a public hearing.

3) Call Samuels office demanding that he set a public hearing.

4) Pack the next Public Safety and Health meeting. On April 18th (Time TBA). Members are Samuels, Gordon, Johnson, Tuthill, Hodges, Hoffstede

5) Call and thank Cam Gordon, Gary Schiff, Robert Lilligren, and Elizabeth Glidden for speaking up for our rights.
