Subject: Amy Goodman Arrested
Free Press Action Alert
<http://free.convio.net/site/R?i=aaDjdAZE3fkvKRy5YveeHw..>
Dear Dr. E-K.,
Amy Goodman Arrested
<http://free.convio.net/site/R?i=8bJlwSrbLiGUeacxXT3fMw..>
Police in St. Paul arrested several journalists yesterday, including
Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman.
Stand Up for Independent Journalism
<http://free.convio.net/site/R?i=ezdbUBAnvOE22eBCczQkcg..>
Yesterday, police in St. Paul arrested several journalists, including
Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman and an AP photographer as they were
covering protests of the Republican National Convention.
Amy Goodman and others were released last night, but the story is not
over.
We need you to cosign our public letter demanding that press
intimidation cease immediately, and that all charges be dropped. It will
be delivered immediately to St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman, the RNC Host
Committee and the local prosecuting attorneys. We need 10,000 signatures
in the next 24 hours, so please take action now:
Sign the Letter: Drop All Charges Against Journalists
<http://free.convio.net/site/R?i=sqg6DL8W7iEcB_kPJPwmbA..>
In addition to these arrests, police with firearms drawn raided a
meeting of the video journalists' group I-Witness and arrested
independent media, bloggers and videomakers. We're also receiving
late-breaking reports of other arrests.
By signing this letter, you're sending a powerful message: Officials
must rein in aggressive and violent tactics by local law enforcement,
stop the targeting of journalists and immediately drop all charges
against them.
Reporting by independent journalists is vital to a functioning
democracy. Americans must have access to diverse sources of information
to hold their leaders accountable. Journalists must be free to do their
jobs without intimidation.
Please Take Action by Signing this Letter
<http://free.convio.net/site/R?i=lwLEk38XQ4qrCnD0vIiMOA..>
Don't wait. We need a free press now more than ever. Tell your friends
and take action now!
Thank you,
Josh Silver
