Los Angeles, CA - In front of the federal building hundreds of protesters chanting “shame” at marines. Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine in a truck just drove by with a full band, waved a “battle of Los Angeles” t shirt, people are dancing now.

I'm hoping to come out to your Lancaster stop! I'm excited! We need art and good things to sustain us with everything going the way that it is!

i want you to practice saying it. “i am invoking my right to remain silent and will not answer questions without an attorney present.” say it out loud. it sounds so simple but when the moment comes, you forget. you’ll be stressed, scared, confused, & want to explain yourself. don’t. it won’t help.

make sure someone who won’t be at the protest knows where you are. memorize their phone number. remember that cops can lie to you and you always have the right to remain silent. remember that jail calls are recorded and transport vans & holding cells may be, too.
