Rally at City Hall
Event Description: 

The Minneapolis City Council recently passed a resolution that strips away our protections from police abuse and brutality when we’re exercising our rights to free speech and public assembly. Did you know their resolution allows the police to:

  • Use rubber bullets when they feel it’s necessary
  • Confiscate or destroy cameras if they can be used for evidence
  • Conceal their identities
  • Infiltrate activist groups and target activists
  • Withhold medical assistance after they attack people

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?

If you say, “No!,” then join us! They passed this resolution without giving us a public hearing, but we’re having one anyway!

Rally at the City Hall and tell the City Council they can’t take away our rights without a fight!

FRIDAY, JUNE 25TH

9 A.M.

CITY HALL
350 South 5th Street

Brought to you by a broad coalition of Twin Cities-based activists. For more information on this issue, contact mgresist@minn.net or recycleme2@gmail.com.

Things People Say

Readers sound off on disco, the Unabomber, and Santa Christ

By Jay Gabler , TC Daily Planet

“If there was any deep division in the music scene in 1977, it wasn’t people scratching their heads at less than stellar releases from Kansas, Foreigner, Styx, or Steely Dan and Neil Young, it was the demise of live music as disco came to prominence. I could make the argument that Kansas, Nugent and other arena acts GAINED fans because people who hated disco REALLY hated disco (myself included).”
-comment on “Sucking in ’77”

“John Jansen’s comments made me think of some of the bad things white people have done. Timothy McVeigh! Terry Nichols! The Unabomber! Not to mention almost all the serial killers in the U.S.! And all those Arab terrorists — they’re Caucasian! I just don’t think we can afford to have white people running this country. They are way too dangerous.”
-comment on “The Battle for Pine County”

“I really used to be amazed how these individuals could be so blatant about who they really are, and yet have their assemblies still pour money into their pockets so they can live like movie stars…and then you have those who are of the new faith: CASHIANS and followers of Santa Christ.”
