FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DNC Action Committee
Action in Philadelphia TONIGHT
Tonight, on the last night of the DNC, we will stand together to perform a Citizens Arrest on Hillary Rodham Clinton. In PA, a felony is required to justify a Citizens Arrest.
To this, we accuse Hillary Rodham Clinton of being an accessory to the mass election fraud that took place during the 2016 Democratic presidential primary, and collusion with Democratic party officials who sought to undermine Bernie Sanders’ campaign. This was especially egregious in Philadelphia where the Democratic Party handed out ballot listings that explicitly excluded Bernie Sanders and his supporters.
We accuse Hillary Rodham Clinton for being complicit in international money laundering (through the Clinton Foundation).
We accuse Hillary Rodham Clinton of being complicit in treason by keeping sensitive state secrets on her private server, thus endangering the lives of undercover agents.
To these ends, we will march into the gates of the Wells Fargo center during her speech. Our intent is to non-violently present Hillary Rodham Clinton with a Citizens Arrest. We request that the Philadelphia Police Department, Homeland Security, and all present law enforcement agencies assist us in our Citizens Arrest. Should they choose to prevent us from carrying out the arrest, we are prepared to risk arrest ourselves.
We stand in solidarity with other concerned citizens demonstrating in Philadelphia against the criminal actions of Hillary Rodham Clinton and the failure of the Democratic Party to support the needs of the people in this city and around the United States.
The DNC Action Committee describes itself on its website:
A Movement to Repair a Broken System
The world prepares to watch a political drama unfold in a city that has shaped American history. Philadelphia: the poorest city, with the highest mass incarceration and child removal rate for any city of its size in the US. A city whose struggle is deeply interwoven with the stories of millions of Americans whose hopes rest on the outcome of this convention. Come help influence the outcome of the convention, make history and shape our future!
In a system built to divide us, a shared purpose has emerged; To unite our numbers to disrupt, discredit, and delegitimize the DNC – the Party, the committee, and the corrupt practices and policies they embody. Whether you are a mass movement for Bernie Sanders, an advocate for a 3rd Party or a platform to raise up the voiceless, together we are mobilizing to display staunch opposition to the machinery that serves the 1%. We are taking our demands to the streets, to the convention floor and to the entire nation… And we are doing it together.
If you are done waiting for the problem to fix itself. If you haven’t quite given up yet… If you don’t want to hear about the revolution second hand… #GetHere. By any means necessary, show up like you were meant to be here and use this site to find your way. Join the various marches, protests, teach-ins, conventions, rallies and family gatherings. We may not all see eye to eye, but we will raise fists with all those who see no other option than to put humanity and the planet first!”
Attempt by activists to arrest Clinton has failed. But cops have thus far declined to arrest them #DemsInPhilly pic.twitter.com/gEXl2LJEdj
