Charles Lynch Sentencing Day of Action
| By Americans for Safe Access | Published August 18, 2008 |
Americans for Safe Access members and friends will be providing court support and protesting for medical cannabis provider Charles Lynch on Monday, October 6, in Los Angeles. Mr. Lynch was convicted in federal court earlier this month of operating a medical cannabis dispensing collective and faces decades in federal prison. We need to show our support for Charles and his family as his attorneys ask for a new trial. We also need to let federal officials and local representatives know that Californians will not tolerate federal interference or local cooperation with DEA raids.

| Time: | 1:00 - 3:00 PM |
| Address: | Patient ID Center, Los Angeles get directions 470 S. San Vicente Blvd. Los Angeles, California 90048 |
We will also be doing some skills training for advocates and getting updates on the protest at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, CO, later this month. Please join us and invite your friends. All medical cannabis supporters are welcome!
In addition to joining the protest, visit www.friendsofccl.com to give money, assistance, and support. Or write to Judge Wu directly and plead for Charlie's freedom. Letters of support helped Mickey Martin receive a relatively light sentence, and so we need to show the same support for Charles Lynch. Letters to Judge Wu should be sent to Charlie's Attorney:
