Dear Tucson City Leadership,
You have it in your power to dismiss all charges against the peaceful demonstrators of Occupy Tucson. We the people of Tucson and Southern Arizona call upon you to stand up for our constitutional rights to freedom of speech and peaceable assembly by dismissing these charges and allowing the demonstrators to remain in Armory Park.
Why is this important?
The members of Occupy Tucson are requesting our help.
Tucson Police Department is issuing criminal citations to occupiers in the who stay in the park past 10:30pm. This citation carries a potential sentence of up to a $1000 fine, up to 6 months in jail, and up to 3 years probation.
Add your name to the petition to demand that Mayor Walkup, the Tucson City Council, and City Manager Richard Miranda support freedom of speech by dismissing all charges against the occupiers and allowing them stay in Armory, Library & Veinte de Agosto Parks.
