Funds needed NOW for bail for eight people unjustly arrested at a peaceful political protest. Bail was set at $10,000 each, we need to raise a total of $3,800 to post bail for all of them.
On Saturday, July 30th a group of Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights protesters peacefully assembled at the Riverside County Courthouse during which 13 protestors (1 of which had to be hospitalized) were arrested. They're being charged with felony vandalism and conspiracy charges -- for kids paint that came off with water and chalk! These charges are excessive and outrageous!
The protestors were first detained by 9 Riverside PD who alerted the Riverside Co. Sherrif’s department. They were kept on the steps of Historic Riverside County Courthouse for hours without food, water, bathroom breaks, etc. before being taken to the detention center.
As of early Sunday morning, 5 people have been released with no charges. WE STILL NEED TO BAIL OUT THE OTHER 8 ACTIVISTS!
Alex, an organizer with Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights IE said, “We didn’t anything wrong, except exercise our right to peacefully assemble and our right to free speech.”
”Getting arrested for vandalism for washable paint and chalk while the lives of young girls are being disrupted.” -Luna, activist with Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights LA.
