from PSA:
About 75 people showed up to SeaTac Federal Detention Center today for a noise demo in solidarity with grand jury resisters. Two resisters, Matt Duran and Katherine Kteeo Olejnik, have been locked away inside the detention center since September 13 and September 27, respectively, for refusing to cooperate with a secret federal Grand Jury investigation targeting anarchists in the Pacific Northwest.
A sound system blasted anti-police/anti-state music at the prison’s ominous facade while prisoners pressed their bodies to the frosted windows and flicked their cell lights on and off. Outside, people screamed and pounded on pots and pans.
Some pigs were on the roof ogling us and taking photos and some other pigs stood between the demo and the prison. Generally the pig presence was lower than this author expected.
Though it is difficult to ascertain the effects of a noise demo from the outside, we do know that today we temporarily broke the through isolation of caged life. We hope that our presence added fuel to the anger festering inside that prison. And even if they couldn’t hear us themselves, word will surely get to Matt and Kteeo.
