::: SF DCCC PASSES RESOLUTION CALLING FOR JOSH'S RELEASE:::

BIG victory! Last Wednesday, the San Francisco Democratic Central
Committee voted unanimously, with three abstentions, to pass a
resolution calling for Josh's release. The three abstaining votes
were from the proxies representing Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senator
Dianne Feinstein, and State Assemblywoman Fiona Ma. We had a strong
contingent of supporters at the meeting who provided great public
comment in support of the resolution.

A huge THANK YOU to resolution sponsors Robert Haaland, Michael
Goldstein, Rafael Mandelman, David Campos, and Jane Morrison. The
sponsors will submit the resolution to the state Democratic Party at
the annual convention in April.

By the way, if you have not sent a letter or email to you your
representatives asking them to take a stand in support of Josh and
the First Amendment please do so now -- especially if they happen to
be Dianne Feinstein or Nancy Pelosi!
