To demand freedom for any activist detainees, and ask for reason and non-violence from the police at the Republican National Convention events, please consider calling the following numbers. The most publicized for action alerts are the phone for Mayor Chris Coleman and Mayor RT Ryback. The other ones are from related research.

Mayor of Minneapolis: RT Ryback (612) 673-2100

Mayor of St. Paul: Chris Coleman: (651) 266-8510
Fax to Mayor’s office: (651) 266-8513

St. Paul Mayor’s Chief of Staff: Sara Grewing: (651) 266-8527
St. Paul Mayor’s Staff person for (regular) conventions: Erin Dady: (651) 266-8878

Some background stories, and places I found action alerts:

*PRESS STATEMENT FROM RNC WELCOMING COMMITTEE ON DAY 1 OF REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION RESISTANCE September 1, 2008: here.

*Salon.com story by Glenn Greenwald. Federal government involved in raids on protesters. Sunday Aug. 31, 2008 11:46 EDT: here. And, at: http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/08/31/raids/

*Old, lead-up to planning e-mail about DNC and RNC from UFPJ which mentioned Mayor’s contact and City Council people’s contacts: here.

In addition, this was posted to a national Green Party list-serve. It is my understanding that it is a request from the Cynthia McKinney for President/VoteTruth08 campaign:

THE ONLY THING THAT IS PERMANENT IS CHANGE.
VOTE FOR REAL CHANGE:  McKinney/Clemente 2008  (www.votetruth08.com)

(If they stole our song, we can steal their slogan!)

Hello everyone,
