Stop the Arrests of Journalists. Sign the Letter.

Police in St. Paul arrested several journalists yesterday, including Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman and an AP photographer as they were covering protests of the Republican National Convention. And earlier this weekend, police raided a meeting of the video journalists' group I-Witness with firearms drawn to arrest independent media, bloggers and videomakers.

Fill out the form below to demand that press intimidation cease immediately and that all charges be dropped. Your message will be delivered to:

St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman

St. Paul City Attorney John Choi
Host Committee of the Republican National Convention

I strongly condemn the arrests and harassment of journalists covering the Republican National Convention

Independent journalists have been targeted, pepper-sprayed and held at gunpoint during these raids. We call on the mayor and local authorities to rein in these aggressive and violent tactics.
