Keep The Armed Racist Out of Our Community; Picket Thursday, May 17 at 9 AM at DC Superior Court
Start: 09:00
End: 12:00

Tyler Froatz Jr., the heavily armed member of the Herndon Minutemen arrested after assaulting individuals at last week's immigrant rights' rally in Malcolm X Park was rightly denied bond by a DC Superior Court judge on Friday, May 4. Froatz came to the May Day rally, armed with a stun gun, a 12 inch knife, a claw hammer, and a flare gun on his person. After assaulting an organizer of the rally, and insulting many of those present, Froatz returned to his car, containing a loaded rifle, binoculars, literature about killing immigrants, and maps of the park where the rally was taking place. Upon returning to the rally in camouflage, he was arrested by the US Park Police. After his arrest, numerous weapons were found in Froat'z NW apartment, at 5320 8th St NW, Apt. 107. Judge James Boasberg cited Froatz's large number of illegal weapons and his 'looking for trouble' at the immigrants rights' rally as reasons for holding him without bond.

Mayor Fenty Continues Drive to Disenfranchise DC Voters; Stand Up for Democracy!
Start: 09:30
End: 11:30

Mayor Adrian Fenty, in his attempt to take power from the elected Board of Education, without consulting DC voters, has now taken his drive for power to the courts.

Seeking to halt the referendum process for the proposed referendum measure put forth by DCPS grandmother and graduate Mary Spencer, Mr. Fenty chose to wait until the end of a 10 day challenge period (allowed for public challenges to the proposed referendum), so as to further delay the referendum process. Now, his challenge will be heard in court.

We still hope to receive the petitions to begin gathering signatures for a referendum on Wednesday morning. For more information on how you can help gather signatures, please see www.letmevote.org

Please join us in court on Wednesday, June 6 at 9:30 AM in Courtroom 312 of the Moultrie Building of DC Superior Court (500 Indiana Avenue NW; the main building) to support our right to have a say in our children's education.
