4 activists arrested in Asheville: Bail money needed!

Activist getting arrestedOn Monday, August 13, a total of 6 nonviolent activists were arrested at the Southeast Convergence for Climate Action and at the direct action following it (see Southeast Convergence for Climate Action shuts down Bank of America, police use electric shock on defenseless protestors). We spent $4,000 to bail them out. Several people lent us the money, but we need to get donations to pay them back, as well as to pay further legal fees and, eventually, to fund further direct actions.
