Drop all cases against Mahmoud Khalil

Update: June 23

Mahmoud Khalil has been granted bail after many protests and an excellent effort by teams of lawyers.  He is still under legal attack by the Administration which seeks to deport him. Hear a June 21 TSVN interview with attorney Amy Greer by Stanley Heller.

The tabloid size costs about $1.30 to print out in color at Staples.  We've taken a Staples "Adhesive magnet" and cut it in five pieces and put it on the back.  Then you can easily put it on your parked car and easily take it off when you drive away.  At Staples its $21 for a box of 50 "Adhesive magnets"

The small banner above costs about $50.  It's a strong paper and we've used it in several rallies.  If you make one make sure you include grommets so you can put string, rope of ties in them for holding or tying to poles.
