[free-sklyarov] ANNOUNCEMENT: Free Dmitry leafletting in SF BART Thursday noon, Thursday 4:30pm, and Friday 8:30am

[Nick Moffitt]

If you wish to print up flyers for this event, you can see them in
several formats at http://www.tabinda.com/freedmitry/ .  Many thanks
to Tabinda for generating this flyer and the one for the previous
event!

Nick Moffitt quotation:
> The Free Dmitry movement is not just about protests and legal talk.
> It is also about LETTING PEOPLE KNOW about the injustices perpetrated
> against Dmitry Sklyarov.  Demonstrations are a great way to get press
> attention, but sometimes we can't wait for the press.  Sometimes we
> have to take matters into our own hands.
> 
> The Russian word "samizdat" means "self publishing".  It refers to the
> process of distributing information through underground channels.  It
> means that sometimes a piece of information is so important that it
> will be distributed regardless of what those controlling the official
> publication channels would do with it.  
> 
> Thursday, 26 July 2001 and Friday the 27th are the days when we will
> hand out flyers to the thousands of commuters on the Bay Area Rapid
> Transit system.  BART carries more passengers in a single day than the
> US's largest airline, and they travel to all parts of the Bay Area.
> 
> We will meet at the City Hall Plaza at noon for a lunchtime
> leafletting in the area, and then again at 4:30pm to catch the rush
> hour commuters on their way home.  The leaflets passed out in downtown
> San Francisco will follow these people as far as Pleasanton, Bay
> Point, Fremont, Colma, and Richmond.  
> 
> We will do this again on Friday morning at 8:30am to catch these
> commuters on their way in to work.
> 
> This is an important prelude to the Monday demonstration!  It is not a
> protest, rally, or any other such ruckus raising.  We're simply going
> to hand out informational pamphlets that explain to the lay commuter
> what the facts of Dmitry's case are.  
> 
> So, once again, here's how you can help out!
> 
> - Mail ctfd at zork.net and offer to print up a run of these leaflets for
>   the event.  The location of the flyer should be posted to these
>   mailing lists relatively soon.
> 
> - Show up on Thursday at noon or 4:30pm, or on Friday at 8:30am, at
>   the City Hall Plaza.  We will be near the San Francisco Main Public
>   Library, and should be holding boxes of flyers.  The location is
>   right next to the Civic Center BART and MUNI Metro station, and is
>   the green square in the center of this map:

> 
> - Hand out leaflets calmly and respectfully.  DO NOT FORCE THEM ON
>   PEOPLE and DO NOT MAKE A MESS.  Simply hold them out, perhaps calmly
>   invite people to free Dmitry, and thank people when they take
>   fliers.
> 
> We may send people to other stations in order to reach more commuters,
> but only if we have enough volunteers.  If you're late, just look for
> us in or around the BART station!
> 
> We should be handing out leaflets for about an hour or two during the
> commute times, in order to reach enough people.
