Police Repression and the Coalition Press Conference
This two-part tape begins with the reading of a statement proposed to the San Francisco police regarding their unlawful use of violence during a peaceful protest. At the federal building on April 17th, the protest groups were Vietnam Vets, SF women for peace, and the United Prisoners Union. Because of the unjust clubbing by the police the statement was a call for disciplinary action. The second part of the tape has various speakers talking about the upcoming protest against the bombing of populated areas of Hanoi and Hifong. Just when the war was thought to be winding down, Nixon bombs these areas of North Vietnam and incites a negative reaction. This protest at Kezar Stadium will be one of the largest ever. Important speaker such as Jane Fonda, Dick Gregory, Leon Tao, and Vietnam government officials will lead the protest. The underlining reason for the protest is also for the government to follow the seven-point peace plan.
