-DIY percussion instruments

-VOICES
-SIGNS & SLOG(A)NS

I cannot and will not say something that could greatly harm a person’s life and providing information that could lead to long term incarceration would be doing that. For me choosing to resist a grand jury is about freedom of speech and association – I cannot and will not be a party to a McCarthy era policy that is asking individuals to condemn each other based on political beliefs.” – Katherine “KteeO” Olejnik (Grand Jury Resister)

Grand juries are not commonly understood or discussed, let alone the threat this and other forms of coercion/intimidation pose to citizens and activists. The festivities will publicly endorse community solidarity in a lively, defiant spirit using available space.

Celebrate the commitment, the dedication of such Olympia activists as Katherine “KteeO” Olejnik, Matt Duran, and others jailed with no charges beyond exercising their right to silence while implacably refusing to allow 1st Amendment rights to be quashed beneath the boot of federal authorities. This event will spread awareness of political repression and its dire implications to social justice movements in Olympia, The Pacific NW, and beyond.
