Raise a Ruckus for Rob los Ricos

NOVEMBER 11-13, 2005

 http://www.roblosricos.net

Rob is due to be released late June 2006. We're asking people across
the country and the world to make the weekend of November 11-13, 2005
a day to support Rob, to celebrate, and to raise needed support money
for Rob.

November 11th is the anniversary of the day four anarchists were hung
in Chicago in 1887, despite their obvious innocence and international
outcry for their release. This holiday is generally commemorated on
May 1st all around the world. Rob wants to reclaim this as an
anarchist festival day. And we're asking you to help make it happen!

Plan an event for Rob, to let him know he's not forgotten, and to
help raise needed funds for when he is released from prison. Not just
punk shows, but think creatively! Poetry readings, dance parties,
karaoke night, quiz night, keggers, dinner parties, rummage sales,
let your mind go free! Rob is a whimsical guy, and we're asking folks
to do something political and revolutionary for cripe's sake fun!

So, to recap, ways you can help:
1. Plan a kick ass event Nov. 11-13, or get tapped into the planning
already happening in your area (check out www.roblosricos.net for
more information, or email  rob@defenestrator.org) PLEASE CONTACT US
AND LET US KNOW IF YOU’RE PLANNING SOMETHING! We want to create a
list and keep track of everything, and advertise it, so definitely
let us know!
2. Send Rob a donation now (anything is better than nothing)
3. Read Rob's writings (His pamphlet Manufacturing Dissent is
available on his website)
4. Spread the word


Rob has spent over 6 years in prison, and he's coming back to no
resources. When you're paroled in Oregon, they open up the gates and
let you out with nothing, not even clothes to change out of your
prison garb into. We need your help to let Rob know he is not
forgotten, that the principles he has struggled for for 30 years and
that he will have spent over 7 years in prison for are still alive.
