Class Action LAWSUIT

There is an Occupy class action lawsuit, and there might be other upcoming lawsuits, about the repression of Occupy Wall Street demonstrators. We are trying to compile as much information as possible to stop the arrests, theft, and other civil rights violations by the police, and seek justice regarding those violations. We probably will need to contact you in the future. This information will only go to lawyers helping us or to the people doing legal assistance work. If you don't remember exact times, dates, and names, describe as much as you can; as we compile information, the details will come together.

If you would be more comfortable answering these questions in private, you can send your answers to Redwood Curtain CopWatch, P.O. Box 5692 Eureka CA 95502 or copwatchrwc@gmail.com. You can also email or call Redwood Curtain CopWatch if you want someone to assist you with the process.
