Pack the courtroom on Wednesday Sept. 30th at 8am to support David Japenga, swept up by police during the rioting that happened in Pittsburgh due to the G20. David Japenga was arrested on Thursday and was given trumped up charges blaming him for the bulk of property destruction that happened during night-time demonstrations in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh. The police and media are looking for a scapegoat due to their embarrassing inability to control demonstrations on Thursday and Friday. A judge has revoked bail for David and he is being held in Allegheny County Jail pending his formal arraignment and preliminary hearing on Wednesday.
This is a call for monetary assistance and courtroom solidarity for David. We are raising money to hire a private defense attorney and to pay his bail should be he granted it on Wednesday. If you can give any money towards his defense, email freedavidjapenga@hushmail.com or paypal it to antiracistactionstore@gmail.com.
The address for the Pittsburgh Municipal Court is-
Pittsburgh Municipal Court
Municipal Courts Building, First Floor
660 First Avenue
Pittsburgh, PA 15219
Remember to dress appropriately and remember to be respectful, as bail being granted can depend on if whether we piss the judge off or not.
David Japenga is innocent! Drop the charges! Pack the courtroom to show your support and to let David know he is not alone!!
Wednesday Sept. 30th at 8AM at the Pittsburgh Municipal Court!
