[FlyingBrickAnnouncements] Event on anti-police organizing?

[Kris Woetzel]

I do agree with Mo that this event would be very fitting with Richmond
Copwatch and the other past and present projects that the Wingnut is
involved with. I don't know if a large number of people are expected, but
there seems to be more space at the Wingnut. Though, the Brick is a more
central location.

That's my input. Again, I will go wherever the event is held.
