[re: Support Cheri Honkala...] Jan, Glad to see the appeal for support for Cheri Honkala, but don't forget Ward Morehouse of POCLAD who is also standing trial for standing up to the Corporate World Government in Seattle! Please see details below. Thanks, Ron Rowe Chair, Citizens' Alliance of Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara Alliance for Democracy) P.O. Box 719 Moorpark, CA 93020-0719 (805) 581-3250 Fax: (805) 579-3825 E-mail: •••@••.••• +++ Subject: ANN: Action Alert: Seattle Trials Date: Fri, 03 Mar 2000 08:23:21 -0800 From: •••@••.••• To: •••@••.••• A few weeks ago an action alert was posted regarding Cheri Honkala's upcoming trial in Seattle. This alert is to let you know that Ward Morehouse is also standing trial and to ask that letters be sent on behalf of both of these courageous leaders for social justice. For those who don't know Ward, he was also the fiscal sponsor for the Alliance before we had our own non-profit status. Details follow. In Alliance, Ruth Caplan FROM: •••@••.••• DATE: 23 February 2000 SUBJECT: Urgent Call for Letters An Urgent Call for Letters of Protest The WTO and Free Speech: The Trial of Cheri Honkala (Kensington Welfare Rights Union) and Ward Morehouse (Program on Corporations, Law, and Democracy) Over the weekend of November 27/28 last year, hundreds of social justice activists gathered in Seattle's Labor Temple to hear testimony about corporate criminality. The Global People's Tribunal on Corporate Crimes against Humanity featured experts who testified about specific corporate acts that violated international and Canadian law. Indictments ensued. On Monday, the 29th, Ward Morehouse and Cheri Honkala attempted to serve citizen arrest warrants on the G-7 trade ministers (who were attending the World Trade Organization Meeting) as accomplices to corporate crimes against humanity. As they were exercising their free speech rights, police arrested them. Now they face trial for this act. They are scheduled to stand trial on March 14, even though most of the more than 500 arrests at the WTO protest have been thrown out of court or charges dropped. Please write a letter to Mark Sidran, Seattle City Attorney, Seattle, WA, urging that their cases be dropped. Their case numbers are 371901 for Cheri and 371902 for Ward. But please send your letters to Ward's lawyer, Catherine Chaney (810 Third Avenue, Suite 757, Seattle, WA 98104, Tel. 206 343 7642, Fax 206 343 7781, Email: •••@••.•••) who will see that they are delivered to the proper party in Sidran's office. If convenient, send a copy as well to Ward. (If you have already written on behalf of Cheri, there is no need to write again.) Many thanks for your support.
