Over a thousand people have been arrested during Occupy Wall Street actions and events, and many of them have resisted the temptation of taking an ACD and, instead, are forcing the state to give them their day in court.
The OWS community has done a fantastic job providing "jail support" to people who have been detained by the NYPD. The next phase of support is now needed: court support.
In order to do court support, all you have to do is sit in the court room and watch the proceedings. If you'd like to go one step further, you can take notes and email them to [email protected].
Below is a breakdown of OWS court appearances this week. Please share this info with your friends. For questions or suggestions, call or text 646-535-6291.
