RNC Protesters Coordinate Information Distribution

Some exciting developments on the RNC protest information distribution front.

First, radical reference librarians have launched an information site at which protesters can ask questions about this summer's Republican Convention. According to the site flier:

Also, in anticipation of protest and police repression during the week of the Republican National Convention, the New York Civil Liberties Union has opened a storefront space from which to monitor police activity and provide resources to protestors.

Finally, we hear rumors that NYC Indymedia and the NYC Grassroots Media Coalition are close to securing an independent media space for the convention. Nothing to report yet, but news as soon as we hear it.
