Court Support for Casey!

Casey was arrested protesting at Old Berkeley City Hall on Monday, 12/7, for “lodging.”
He had a hearing on Thursday at which the judge set bail at $2500, because
he does not have a fixed place of residence and is therefore not “reliable enough”
to be let out without bail.

He has another hearing on Monday, 12/14, at 9:00 AM at Wiley Manuel, Rm 104.

Casey’s attorney has written:

Casey’s court date is Monday. Honestly, if there are folks willing to
support him by coming to court, I know that makes a difference for people on
the inside. Do you think there would be any support for that?

So if you can make it, please mark your calendar and show up!!

First They Came for the Homeless joined the fight against the sale of the Berkeley Post Office
and the privatization of the Commons more than a year and a half ago, and is still Occupying
the downtown Berkeley Post Office, and has organized the protest against anti-homelessness
ordinances that have been passed by the City Council of Berkeley, continuing with the protest
at Old City Hall.
