The trial of the four Embassy Protectors, Kevin Zeese, Margaret Flowers, Adrienne Pine, and David Paul, is fast approaching. The Trump administration’s Department of Justice is pushing to limit what the jury can be told about the action to protect the Venezuelan Embassy last spring so they will not be aware of key facts.

Show up to support the Embassy Protectors as they face the Trump government’s efforts to silence and punish them. This is the time to show they are not alone as they could be sentenced for up to a year in prison and a $100,000 fine each.

February 11 Trial – The trial begins on this day and may last several days. The trial starts at 9:00 am at the Prettyman Courthouse, 333 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC, room 22-A, Judge Beryl Howell.

Please follow these guidelines for proper courtroom procedure:

• As supporters, you will be viewed by the court as being connected to the four Embassy Protectors on trial. Your behavior reflects on them and the judge’s treatment of them.
• Arrive early to give yourself time to get through security. There is a cafeteria on the first floor if you need somewhere to wait before the trial.
• Sit on the left side of the courtroom as you enter.
• Turn off your cellphones in the courtroom. No talking and no reading in the courtroom. You can enter and exit as you need to.
• DO NOT try to communicate with any of the jury members in any way. If the judge believes that the jurors have been communicated with or threatened in ANY WAY, she has the discretion to choose an anonymous jury, which will be detrimental for our Embassy Protectors.

Getting there:

• You can take the metro to the courthouse – for the Red line, exit at Judicary Square station and for the Yellow and Green lines, exit at the Archives – Navy Memorial – Penn Quarter station.
• The courthouse is walking distance from Union Station (or take the Red line).
• There is public parking near the courthouse.

Imprisoned WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange has been awarded Consortium News‘ 2020 Gary Webb Freedom of the Press Award for courage in the face of an unprecedented attack on press freedom.

By Joe Lauria
Special to Consortium News

Julian Assange, the imprisoned and maligned publisher of WikiLeaks, has been awarded the 2020 Gary Webb Freedom of the Press Award by the board of the Consortium for Independent Journalism, publishers of Consortium News. 

Assange is incarcerated in a maximum security prison in London awaiting a hearing later this month on an extradition request by the United States. He has been charged 0n 17 counts under the U.S. Espionage Act of possessing and publishing classified material that revealed prima facie evidence of U.S. war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq.

For practicing the highest order of journalism–revealing crimes of the state–Assange faces 175 years in a U.S. prison–a life sentence for the 48-year old Australian.

Assange, whose life has been endangered in harsh prison conditions, has become an international symbol of the threat to press freedom. He is the first journalist to be charged under the Espionage Act for possession and dissemination of state secrets….

The annual Wisconsin State AFL-CIO Community Services Conference will be held March 12, 13, and 14 at the Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor’s Club. The conference will open with a plenary/general session at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 12. Registration will be available that morning beginning at 10:00 a.m.

**Details including registration form, accommodation deadlines, workshop descriptions and more can be found here. **

This conference is a call to action with the intent that the education and information provided will allow participants to become more involved in both the labor movement and within their individual communities. The AFL-CIO Labor Engagement program is about “making the community a better place in which to live, work, raise a family, and retire”. It is about mobilizing union members  to address workplace and social justice issues. By building strong partnerships with other community and faith organizations, more can be achieved.

Labor’s involvement in our community is vital to creating and sustaining healthy communities. All across Wisconsin union members have rolled up their sleeves to help the community by volunteering to serve meals, coach teams, donate blankets and mittens, collect health and hygiene items and give back in so many other countless ways to those in need.

Over the three days, conference attendees will hear from the President and Secretary-Treasurer of the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO. Updates will be given on a number of labor initiatives, the upcoming spring election and Presidential primary, fall election, and much more. There is much work to be done, to make Wisconsin better for all working families. This is an excellent opportunity to hear first-hand about plans for the upcoming year.

Please submit your registration fee and completed registration form(s) by Monday – March 2, 2020.

If you have questions concerning the conference or need additional information/clarification, please contact Ann McNeary, AFL-CIO Labor Liaison and Conference Chair, at either labor@uwdc.org or 608-246-4355.

Even though Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action has come to an end, the fight for educational justice for Black students continues. To make this a reality we need more than just divesting and removing the cops from our schools. We need a shift of power to those most impacted.

For our final Police Free Schools FAQ, we will be answering the question – “Why are we demanding community-control over school safety and what does that look like?”
