[FlyingBrickAnnouncements] Event on anti-police organizing?

[MO xvx]

The 7th is also a Wednesday, which is Wingnut Open Hours so it would be
really easy for us to host that event on that night.

 I feel like a lot of people involved at the Wingnut are involved in the
things that Patrick mentions- anti-police work, anti-jail work, anarchism,
monroe park occupation, copwatch and the released RPD documents, the VCU
riots, etc.  So we have definite interest around these topics, but it would
also be cool if more people wanted to have a larger community discussion
about these things too.
