I believe there were 24 of us arrested yesterday total. Wild because everyone arrested was there to support the students in the library, most of which were other students who were livid about the police response on campus. Everyone I saw get arrested was just grabbed for being in a public park. Most of us were in the same courtroom minus the handful of folks who got hit with felony charges. Everyone that I was in with got released on own recog. We have a trial date set for June 7th. Unsure of the others but I was ordered to pay $235 for now.
Jail support and court support is so important. Each time someone walked out of the courtroom the entire group of supporters in the lobby cheered. Group waiting outside did the same. Lots of snacks and drinks were also outside for everyone. When I got out of jail it was the same thing. Everyone cheered for each of us and offered snacks, hot drinks, water, cigarettes, rides home. Feeling supported and a sense of community is so important in these times. It’s why the state goes after mutual aid so hard. They’re fully aware of the power it holds and the empowerment it provides.
