CODEPINK DC: Join Our Rally & Laugh-In Tomorrow!

GuiltyOfTruth_rally.jpg

Join Rally to Support CODEPINKer Facing 1 Year in Jail for Laughing at Jeff Sessions Hearing

When: 12:00 PM–1:00 PM, Wednesday, May 10
Where: US Department of Justice, 950 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington DC

Join us for a laugh-in and press conference protesting the conviction of CODEPINK children’s librarian Desiree Fairooz, along with Tighe Barry and Lenny Bianchi, who were found guilty of disorderly conduct by a D.C court for their actions at the confirmation hearing of Jeff Sessions on January 10th.

Fairooz is facing up to a year in jail for spontaneously laughing upon hearing Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL) say that Sessions’ history of “treating all Americans equally under the law is clear and well-documented.”

The rally will include Attorney General Sessions in a clown outfit and lots of laughing. We will also have serious talks by individuals representing sectors of the population being treated unfairly by his Justice Department.

Speakers will include:

  • Desiree Fairooz, children’s librarian and CODEPINK activist convicted for laughing
  • Eugene Puryear, Justice First, Black Lives Matter
  • Reverend Graylan Hagler, Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ
  • Jose Magaña-Salgado, Attorney, Immigrant Legal Resource Center
  • Taher Herzallah, Associate Director for Outreach and Grassroots Organizing,  American Muslims for Palestine
  • Sue Udry, Executive Director, Bill of Rights Defense Committee and Defending Dissent Foundation

Can't wait to see you tomorrow!
