During the December 23rd Black X-Mas (#BlackXmas/#BlackXmas2) Actions held in Bloomington, MN an IWW-GDC organizer, David Boehnke (prononced: ‘Beng-Key’) was arrested at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport. Another organizer, from the Twin Cities IWW African People’s Caucus, Antoine Duke, was also arrested. At least two other activists were arrested (we are seeing reports of seven currently). including Alexander Clark, cousin of Jamar Clark, murdered by the Minneapolis PD. We stand in solidarity with all prisoners.
Please help us by calling the Bloomington Police Department, the Hennepin County Jail, and the MSP Airport Police Department non-emergency lines and making the following statements:
“I’m calling to ask about the charges and bail against David Boehnke, Antoine Duke, and Alexander Clark, if you have them there. I stand with them and insist you respect them while they are in your custody, and that you release them immediately.”
