Please donate to help bail Dante out. Dante is facing trial for felony charges related to protesting against police brutality and murder in the Bay Area and across the United States. By getting Dante out of jail, you will help his chances to reduce his felony charges and allow him to fight the charges while on the outside.
Dante Cano has already been in jail for a month. We must stand behind Dante, the Ferguson 3, and all those that the State is trying to single out for collective punishment for the generalized rebellion. Breaking the isolation of prison is another way we can support those locked inside. Check out Dante’s support page for more information!

Solidarity Statement from the Inside: “Keep the Struggle Alive!”
To all those still keeping the fire alive, my name is Dante Cano.
I was arrested by the pigs on Friday the 13th, at a march “Against the Police State.” It was an international call-out against militarization of the pigs and police repression towards black lives in so-called “America.”
I was also out there that night for all those killed in racist murders and the killing of a woman that was shot by the Emeryville police outside of Home Depot.
I was violently attacked for supposedly breaking a Men’s Warehouse window. I was tackled and beaten by OPD, then put in a van and taken four to five blocks away. I was then asked if a bat and a black bag was mine. I said, “Fuck no.” Police beat me once more in the van and then took me to jail.
I’m facing a felony vandalism charge and another for failing to disperse.
I have been here in Santa Rita for 28 days, as of March 12th, in medium maximum security. I am going to court again on Wednesday the 25th in March at the Superior Court House in Downtown Oakland, Department 12 at 9 AM.
I am an anarchist facing repression by the State.
It is hard dealing with the racial conditions in prison as well as the racist comments made by other white inmates. I have almost got into a fight several times. And if I do, I will be jumped by other inmates and moved to another unit segregated from others in the jail. Most likely I will get into another fight and get jumped, but ‘fuck-em.’
I mostly have been reading and making spreads with the money on my books and sleeping by myself.
I want to show my love and support to my house collective called, ‘LA IDEA,’ and the (ARC), Anti-Repression Committee.
There should be a fundraiser soon for me. I hope friends and comrades can go. The money will go back to the ARC.
Please write me. It takes 10 days for me to get any mail. I will update if I get moved to another unit. Future information will be posted on freedante.noblogs.org.
Keep the struggle alive!
