Gustavus is preparing for a group of protesters at today’s Gubernatorial candidates forum.
The protest has been organized by Friends of the RNC 8, a group supporting the eight accused of planning violence in connection with the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul. The protesters will be on campus to pressure Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner to dismiss felony charges against the eight.
The Weekly will be covering tonight’s forum in this week’s paper. Stay tuned to our website and our twitter page for any breaking news.
Here is a link to the story on the Friends of the RNC 8’s website regarding their plans to attend tonight’s event.
