Hey all, here's zine about how to do Jury Nullification canvassing and outreach.
It's easy to just tell people they can acquit as jurors, but our goal should be to effectively reach the right people AND get them successfully selected as jurors.

Those outraged that a jury would nullify assault charges over a thrown sandwich should ponder hard the consequences. If a dissident would get the same charge for throwing a sandwich as throwing a fist... they must surely wonder why not throw the fist?

While throwing a sandwich may technically be "assault" according to some readings of the law, it is always up to a jury to judge the law and what constitutes common sense justice.

Over the next several years, you will NOT dodge jury duty. You will answer voir dire questions truthfully, but don't need to tell someone how to build a watch if they ask for the time. When you're on the jury, you are free to decide the case based on your experiences. Google jury nullification.

The best response to mass arrests is to teach every potential juror in LA about their jury nullification prerogative. Did a protester push back against a cop? Were they out past curfew?
A juror may refuse to vote guilty whatever the evidence if they believe the law is unjust or wrongly applied.
