Upcoming Love Park 4 Court Date - COURT SOLIDARITY NEEDED! July 14th, 2008

Criminal Justice Center - Room 1003
1301 Filbert Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107.

On Monday July 14th, the remaining Love Park 4 defendants - Jason Robbins, Tom Keenan and Jared Schultz - are scheduled for a court date in Philadelphia Municipal Court, 1301 Filbert Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107.

According to their attorneys, the judge will be hearing the motion filed by defense counsel earlier this spring. While we do not expect a decision on the motion - which has the potential to reduce or eliminate some, if not all, of the charges the anti-fascists are currently facing - this is nonetheless an important step towards seeing the end of this case once and for all.

To that end, the Love Park 4 Defense Committee and Anti-Racist Action are encouraging friends, family, and fellow activists to pack the courtroom on Monday to show their support and solidarity for the defendants.

At the same time, Jason, Tom and Jared want to stress that they
understand that with work and school, it is hard to get a day off and have expressed that they would prefer the largest turnout at their actual trial date. So for those people who can't get that many days off, please save your time off for more important court dates in the future.

If you don't have work or school on Monday - or can easily take off - please come to court to support these dedicated anti-fascists. We must show the State the large amount of support that exists for these anti-racists arrested in a situation that - for all practical purposes - was straight up entrapment. We must send a clear message that
State-sponsored harassment of political activists will not go
unchallenged.

For those of you who can come, court starts at 8:30AM Monday, July 14th at the Criminal Justice Center, 1301 Filbert Street, Philadelphia
- Room 1003.

We are asking that everyone who comes to court please dress in an appropriate manner, and behave professionally. Coming to court will help show the judge and district attorney just how much support the Love Park 4 has - but anything negative will only hurt their case.

Please keep that in mind when you are planning to attend.

Background on the Love Park 4

On July 23rd 2007, four Philadelphia-area anti-racist activists were arrested on multiple trumped up charges stemming from a counter-demonstration against a Ku Klux Klan rally that was scheduled to take place in Center City that morning.

Two men wearing neo-Nazi t-shirts were verbally confronted by
anti-racists and forced to leave. The men then boarded a waiting SUV, at which time another verbal confrontation ensued, at the end of which one of the SUV's windows was damaged. Police personnel waited until this point to break their cover and identify themselves - the driver of the SUV was a Philadelphia Police Detective while the passenger and
owner of the vehicle was an FBI special agent.

The initial charges against each activist consisted of 4 felony and 6 misdemeanor counts, but were quickly reduced to 8 misdemeanor charges when the arresting offices realized the original trumped up charges were just too exaggerated to ever stick.
