Dear Supporters of Chuck Turner,
I am a long-time supporter of Chuck and the Boston Worker’s Alliance that he helped to organize. I feel passionately that empowering urban low-income people is key to our reclaiming America. For this reason I am organizing a house party sponsored by Mel King, Ty DePass and Horace Small to help raise the necessary money for Boston City Councilor Chuck Turner’s legal defense. It will be at my house, 69 Robeson St. (entrance on the right) Jamaica Plain, 02130, Friday March 20 from 6:30-8:00. (Map and directions attached.) It will be professionally catered with beer, wine, many Hors d’Oeuvres, a chicken and a fish entre. Minimum donation: $25.
Over 250 gathered at Roxbury Community College for Turner’s fifth public defense event.

Federal Court Hearing
Wed, 2/25 @ 3pm
Moakley Court House
1 Courthouse Way
(at Northern Ave)
Chuck will have a hearing regarding the gag order that Sullivan is trying to force onto Chuck. This hearing will have real arguments being made, and people should plan to attend if possible.
Press Notice: 12/11/08
The Committee to Reelect Chuck Turner will hold a press conference on Friday, December 12th at 11 a.m. in front of the Joeseph Moakley Federal Court House on Fan Pier. The press conference will focus on a grand jury subpoena to Councilor Turner’s wife in her capacity as Treasurer of The Committee to Reelect Chuck Turner to produce all campaign documents concerning Councilor Turner’s campaigns for the past four years. Councilor Chuck Turner; his wife and campaign treasurer, Terri Small-Turner, and Ms. Turner’s lawyer, Michael Altman will represent the Committee.

Ever the visionary, ever the rebel, Councilor Turner rallied hundreds of supporters and neighbors at Roxbury Community College this evening. In a crowd that swelled from a capacity of 300 at the outset to a couple hundred more at its high point, Turner methodically refuted the two main media narratives against him: “victimhood” and “need for new leadership”. Throughout the emotional evening, the Councilor and all the speakers, singers, and poets connected with a deep spirituality as they prepared for the next day’s hearing in federal court. The event however was grounded by a serious analysis of US Attorney Sullivan’s motives in bringing charges against Councilor Turner.
Chuck’s next probate hearing will be:
Wed, December 10th 2008
3pm
Moakley Federal Court House
1 Courthouse Way, Boston MA
All supporters are encouraged to join Chuck at court!

Council President Feeney has called an emergency meeting to decide negative actions against Turner at 3pm on Monday. Call your local and at-large councilors and demand that they halt any negative action against Chuck, until a legal decision is made. Only the courts, or the voters in his district should have the power to remove him from his duties. Ensure that the 3pm meeting is open to the public and that any Council decisions are accountable to his District 7 constituents.
