Update from Court, Pre-Trial on Wednesday, March 11th!

Thanks to those that came to Dante’s court date today. Just to be clear to all who are asking, Dante is STILL in jail. The DA offered a deal today, which is very bad. Dante will come back to court next Wednesday. This will be a pre-trial court hearing, in which the DA will present evidence for the judge. We ask people to come out and support Dante on this day and let the State know that we stand behind Dante.

Pre-Trial:

Wednesday, March 11th, Wiley M Manuel, Department 112. 9 AM. 

Dante’s support team managed to talk to Dante on the phone several times and he wants to request that people come out next week and also continue to send letters and books.

Dante’s supporters then learned that Dante is facing a charge from a demonstration in mid-February as well previous charges from another demonstration. We will update the site when the news comes as well as upcoming court cases. As of now, we encourage everyone to send Dante a letter.
