"It’s short notice, but on Tuesday, July 31st–the date Mychal Bell was originally scheduled to be sentenced–there will be a program and rally at the courthouse in Jena, organized by the families and their supporters. Having a sizable number of outsiders there will help focus media attention on the situation and communicate to the officials in Jena that the rest of us are watching. It will also be meaningful for the families of the Jena 6 to know that others support them, from near and far. It would be great if you could come." - Thanks and Peace,

"Hi all,
In solidarity with the protesters in Jena, on JULY 31 we are having an informational/ awareness building campaign in Cambridge, MA. Harvard Square. We will meet in front of the Harvard Bookstore at 5:00 pm and begin to gather names for the petition, interested parties contact information and hand out action sheets for people. We will also film our action and you’ll be able to watch it on youtube!!!"
