Urgent: Yvette Felarca and Eddy Robinson were arrested while protesting at UC-Berkeley on Tuesday, September 26th. While protesting alt-right Portland-based thugs, Joey Gibson and his Patriot Prayer group and other neo-fascists at UC Berkeley, Yvette was assaulted by one of the white supremacists. Then, while following beside the alt-right march and chanting, Yvette was jostled and pushed by the thugs into their march. The police, who had been pointing-out Yvette all day, immediately surrounded Yvette and arrested her and Eddy. Thanks to the swift support and action of the movement, both Yvette and Eddy were released on bail and are awaiting their arraignment.

We are demanding that these false charges against Yvette, Eddy and other anti-racist/anti-fascist protesters be dropped now! Both of them were doing nothing but chanting or holding up signs next to or in front of the white supremacists. Their arrests on Tuesday were politically motivated to try to demobilize the protest and the movement. The Berkeley police targeted Yvette in order to raise the stakes in her Sacramento hearing on Wednesday, October 4th and may try to raise her bond. We need to defeat this attack and defend our leaders. We urgently need donations NOW to Yvette’s legal defense campaign and share with others.

From Yvette:
“Berkeley and the Bay Area stand strong as a national model for what it means to be a sanctuary, and how to build the Resistance to defeat the Alt-Right, white supremacists, and fascists, and to force Trump to resign or be removed. Our movement’s victory last week dealt a humiliating defeat to Yiannopoulos and the whole Alt-Right Terror Week. On Sunday, September 24th, Yiannopoulos was forced to flee to his vehicle after appearing for less than 20 minutes, as BAMN and other anti-racist protesters marched toward him across Sproul Plaza. We are stronger than ever and will continue our march forward to make California a real sanctuary state for all immigrants, defend DACA and stop all deportations, and build the movement to demand Trump resign or be removed By Any Means Necessary. All the bogus charges against myself and other anti-racist and anti-fascist protesters must be dropped now.”
