Support the Peaceworkers

On September 26th an InterFaith group dedicated to ending the war in Iraq went to Sen. Domenici's office to read the names of men and women who have died in the war in Iraq. They were invited to take the elevator up to the Senator's office and when they got into the elevator staff members turned the power off and the 9 peaceful people read the names in the elevator they were trapped in.
They were arrested afterwards.

Elevator 9 Trial - Thursday April 12th at 9am at 421 Gold SW in Albuquerque
The Court House is at the corner of 5th & Gold, 1 block south of Central. Please come and bring your Peace and Antiwar signs - WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!!!

Actually only 8 of us are going to trial, they dropped the charges against Jordan who was 15 at the time of the incident way back on September 26th, but Fr. John, Michella, Jan, Bruno, Sansi, Ellie, Philip and myself would really appreciate your attendance inside the courtroom and outside in front of the Courthouse. There is an article about our upcoming trial at www.freenewmexican.com/news/59049.html

The courtroom is small so people will have to rotate in and out with the people on the street protesting the war, and we need room for our own families, loved ones and witnesses. Please show respect for the proceedings when you are in the courtroom because unruly behavior would only reflect badly on the defendants and we are potentially looking at 30 days in jail.
