Statement by The State Street 29 Support Committee

We are a group of Olympia residents whose goal is to support the “State Street 29.” We want to encourage others to view these people from the perspective of those who rely on and care about them.

The State Street 29 is a group of individuals who were arrested on the night of April 8, 2010. They were arrested at a march consisting of nearly 60 people that took place in downtown Olympia. The march was done in solidarity with the West Coast Days of Action against State Violence to draw attention to the fact that police everywhere are perpetuating and fostering fear among our communities.
