May 27, Chicago: Emergency Fundraiser to Bail anti-NATO Protesters Out of Jail

From Joe Isobaker of CANG: http://cang8.org/

All,

There are still dozens of people held in jail in Chicago after the NATO protests.  In addition, the police bloodied upwards of 90 people on Sunday, according to the National Lawyers Guild’s Sarah Gelsamino.

For all the great work that the National Lawyers Guild does, raising bail is not something that they can legally do for their clients.  That is up to individuals and organizations not legally representing the imprisoned.

An ad hoc group of CANG8 activists has announced a fundraiser at:

Carey’s Lounge, 2251 W. Devon Avenue,
Sunday night beginning at 8 PM
Suggested donation:  $10 – no one turned away for inability to pay

An account has been set up with Wepay.  To donate, go to:  http://www.wepay.com/donations/nato-arrestee-bail-fund

All funds raised will go directly to those whom the Guild is able to identify as people who, as friends and family members, are trying to raise bail funds for their loved ones.
