Olympia: Revolt, Repression and Grand Jury Resistance in the Northwest

Event Date: 
Saturday, February 23, 2013 - 12:00pm

When: Saturday, February 23, 2013, 12:00pm until 3:00pm

Where: The Evergreen State College, Sem II A3107, Olympia WA

Join us for an anarchist presentation and discussion about the current wave of intensified state repression and the unstoppable tide of upheaval, subversion, and resistance to which it is a response. We will discuss May Day, the grand jury process and resistance to it, support for prisoners, a history of struggle in the Northwest, and ideas for action. Free literature and materials will provided.

The content will move from the story of this particular wave of repression and the resistance it has generated, including an explanation of the legal specifics of the grand jury system, to a broader discussion of the interplay between repression and revolt. After the presentation, participation is encouraged.
