Demand the Immediate Release of All Protestors

OFFICIAL DAILY ACTION FOR Friday, July 3rd

On the morning of Wednesday, July 1st, Seattle Police Department cleared CHOP (Capitol Hill Occupied Protest) under the order of Mayor Jenny Durkan. The order was posted to Twitter at 5am but issued earlier. Over 30 people were arrested.

The first of today’s actions comes from Decriminalize Seattle, who calls on us to demand the immediate release of all protestors. The second is to donate to a protestor defense fund, which would help people arrested during the clearing of CHOP.

Script
My name is [NAME] and I live in [NEIGHBORHOOD, ZIPCODE]. Wednesday morning’s arrests by the Seattle Police Department while clearing CHOP is yet another action in a long line of violence perpetrated by SPD. Protestors were pepper sprayed, shot with rubber bullets, and more than 30 were arrested. I support the demands from Decriminalize Seattle and urge you to immediately release all protestors.

SECOND ACTION

Donate to a protestor defense fund: https://www.dismantle.us/ This is the defense fund recommended by Riall Johnson, who spoke at the Seattle Indivisible Monthly Meeting on Wednesday, July 1st.
