GRANNY PEACE BRIGADE BACK IN COURT! SUPPORT NEEDED
The 18 grand- mothers who were arrested and jailed on Oct. 17 this past autumn for attempting to enlist at the Times Square Recruiting Center are due in Criminal Court Tuesday, Jan. 10, at 100 Centre Street, Part B, at 9:30 a.m. However, first a press conference will be held beginning at 8:30 a.m. outside the courthouse, and Granny supporters should be there at that time. Following that, it is hoped people will fill the courtroom during the proceedings. There is plenty of space.
Famed civil rights lawyer, Norman Siegel, has submitted a motion to dismiss in the interest of justice, to suppress remarks made by some of the grandmothers during the arrest, and to prevent the introduction of prior convictions and Bad Acts. It remains to be seen whether the case will be dismissed on Tuesday or sent to trial.
As many people as possible are needed there Tuesday morning, with banners, signs, chants and songs. A big press/media turnout is expected and it is important for the anti-war cause to show that huge numbers of people are determined to bring this horrendous war to an end now.
Please help by being there Tuesday.

The Grannys always have a weekly vigil on Wednesdays, 4:30 to 5:30 pm in front of Rockefeller Plaza on the west side of Fifth Ave bt 49th and 50th Sts.
