subpoenas

Friends,
I-Witness Video has been served with two subpoenas by lawyers from the City of New York in connection with the 2004 Republican National Convention. The City has demanded every piece of paper, electronic file, and videotape related to the protests - even our copies of the tapes shot by their own NYPD!

We're fighting this gross abuse of subpoena power. Yesterday our lawyers at Schulte Roth & Zabel moved to quash both subpoenas.

See the website for our statement.
http://iwitnessvideo.info/blog/index.html

This is a link to today's New York Times article about the subpoenas.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/20/nyregion/20convention.html

We need your support to continue this important work. Let us know if you are interested in helping to document the presidential conventions in Denver and Minneapolis this summer. And if you can make a financial contribution at iwitnessvideo.info/contribute/index.html, it would be enormously useful at this time, to help us fight these subpoenas, and to continue our work opposing police misconduct.

In solidarity,
Eileen Clancy

CCRB Report Recommends NYPD Discipline

An update regarding the video "Get That Camera!". The NYC Civilian Complaint Review Board has recommended command discipline for one officer and allowed 2 to skate by. The CCRB has NO authority to actually discipline police officers, their recommendations are sent to the Police Commissioner. I expect another letter in 2 years telling me no punishment will be levied against the fall guy.

Art ≠ Terrorism

23 min. ~ Download iPod ~ embedding options here
Hudson Mohawk Indymedia has produced a definitive account of the whirlwind of events surrounding Wafaa Bilal's controversial art exhibit, "Virtual Jihadi." "Art ≠Terrorism" goes beyond the sound bites to find out what happened when an Iraqi artist came to Troy, NY only to be censored--not once, but twice.

First, Wafaa Bilal was chased off campus after his artwork was mis-characterized as terrorist propaganda by undergraduate bloggers. When the exhibition was given refuge by The Sanctuary for Independent Media, the city government responded by shutting down the space.

The NOmadjik Media Bus finally makes it to New Orleans after a grueling cross country adventure. With assistance from our friends @ Bio Liberty and New Orleans BioDiesel Initiative the bus received some much needed upgrades. I learned a lot about Waste Vegetable Oil as Fuel and the empowering process of BioDiesel Production in the Gulf Coast Region.
~~~
The NOmadjik Media Bus is now preparing to start coverage of the Presidential Primary Selections in New Hampshire and beyond. We will be following the primaries south from New Hampshire hitting as many as possible.

We will also be attending BOTH the Democratic and Republican Conventions and Inauguration. If you'd like to visit us or join us on the road, get in touch.

Tax Deductible Donations made now will benefit the project greatly as we still need to gear up a bit and winterize.
