Dear Tim,
Although the majority of CODEPINK actions at the RNC have ended without arrest, yesterday's mass actions, tear gassing, and "impact rounds" saw CODEPINK organizer and University of Central Florida student Kathryn Milholland detained alongside nearly 300 other activists in St. Paul MN. Also last night, approximately 170 riot police and 30 mounted officers surrounded and threatened ten CODEPINK activists with arrest and physical violence. Read the full story on our blog at http://codepinkalert.org/blog/We are urging supporters to show solidarity by calling the jail at 651.266.9350 and demand that all detainees be given proper medical attention, access to their medication, and are not separated from the larger group! Also, demand that arrestees' charges are dropped and that they are released immediately! You can also call the Ramsey County Sheriff's office at 651.487.5149 or the St. Paul Mayor's office at 651.266.8510, as well your city council member, state representatives, etc. Cold Snap Legal Collective has more information here: http://coldsnaplegal.
