The Partisan Defense Committee demands that the draconian charges leveled by your office against 26 demonstrators. part of an April 15 Golden Gate Bridge protest against the Israeli annihilation of Palestinians in Gaza, be dropped immediately. Your office has filed more than 40 charges against each protester; including one count of felony conspiracy against eight, carrying sentences of up to three years in prison for each offense plus massive fines.

This vindictive prosecution aims to silence any who would raise their voices in opposition to Israel’s genocidal onslaught, backed to the hilt by the Biden/Harris administration. It is part, of a despicable campaign to brand those showing solidarity with the brutally oppressed Palestinian people as anti-Semitic or even terrorists, as you have done in the past.

Drop all the charges against the Golden Gate 26!

Reuben Shiffman,
for the Partisan Defense Committee
