All of us are out except John. Celeste and Nathaniel are going to the jail right now to wait for him. They're demanding bond and not releasing him. This is very ironic as he least of any of us was interested in getting arrested and hung back in the crowd. Nathaniel, Alburn and I were released this morning with no charges. We regrouped and went to the 5:00 protest today while Weiss and Paul waited at the jail all day for John. The protest tonight went very peaceably (the way last night's would've had the police not felt the need to arrest arbitrarily). We're staying at the CPT house here (some of the CPTers were actually arrested today at the 8:00 a.m. protest blocking the federal building). Celeste, Kate, Meg, Weiss, Paul and Sarah were also at this morning's protest but decided not to end rosanna, begin kate "get arrested" when were were offered the option of either protesting, or getting arrested. Following the protest we gathered at the CPT office, rounding up our beloved, fellow GCers, and were glad to see almost all of thier faces at long last. As of now, every one but Rosanna and I are at the jail, holding vigil for john, and the CPTers, as well as other men stilll waiting to be let out. so stay tuned for further update, Rosanna and I will keep an eye on the cookies, making sure no cookie monster comes by the CPT office, cheerio! kate
actually, to add to Rosanna's coment about the action this morning, involving CPT, I believe all of the CPTers directly involved in the action were arrested, and some, if not all, are still being held, please keep them in your thoughts. and e-mail us some toothbrushes, i forgot mine, thanks
