Police raided the home of Michael Whelan, a long-time Green Party supporter whose Arise Bookstore once housed the party’s local office (see Green Party of Minnesota press release, Sept. 1, http://www.gp.org/press/pr-national.php?ID=99).
Video: “Police Raid In St. Paul of Green Party Activists’ Home” http://the-uptake.groups.theuptake.org/en/videogalleryView/id/620/ (Caption: “Police prepare to raid a home in St. Paul in connection with the RNC protests. According to neighbors, the family that lives in the duplex has never been any problem and are members of the Green Party.”)
Greens are leading and participating in protest actions and rallies throughout the week. On Monday, Green Party vice-presidential nominee Rosa Clemente addressed the antiwar marchers in St. Paul and appeared with the National Truth Commission on Poverty.
