The Chicago chapter of the International Solidarity Movement has just received an emergency phone call from an activist in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Last night and this morning, over 50 activists have been arrested by law enforcement authorities. It is our understanding that the raids are continuing at this moment, and there are Chicagoans among those already arrested, with many of them facing conspiracy charges.

We are attaching a link to IndyMedia in Minneapolis-St. Paul which has breaking news on it and will have on a continuing basis. We urge you to check their site repeatedly, and we encourage you to watch your e-mails from us. We will be staying in touch with our comrades on the streets of the Twin Cities and if necessary ISM-Chicago will help in coordinating emergency fundraising this weekend to get our people out of custody. If any of you are willing to help in assisting our effort by lending your time over the next few days, please send us an e-mail with your name and contact phone numbers.
