On Tuesday, January 10th, 2006 at 9:30 a.m. the 18 grannies of the Granny Peace Brigade will appear at Criminal Court in connection with their October 17th action at the Times Square Recruiting Center. The Grannies, many of whom have maintained a "Bring the Troops Home" vigil for two years on Fifth Avenue, attempted to enlist but locked doors prevented them from entering the recruiting center, whereupon they sat down on the sidewalk. The police then arrested them and they were put into wagons, handcuffed (in back).

Among the eighteen is Molly Klopot, longtime activist for peace and justice issues, who at 86 is not the oldest granny. Another woman is 90.

Come and join with others at their court appearance. Let's demonstrate our support for these courageous women, who already spent jail time when they were booked in October, not to mention their many hours vigilling on Wednesdays for the past two years.

Norman Siegel is representing them and the courtroom will be large enough for you to attend. Mark your calendar.
Time: 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, January 10
Place: Criminal Court at 100 Centre Street (Leonard is the cross street.)

Plan to come early as security lines are invariably long.
