The Vassar College Black Student Union is hosting a rally in support of Nicole Addimando on Feb. 10 (tomorrow). She is being sentenced to life in prison tomorrow at 1:00pm and students are rallying with the Nicole Addimando Defense Committee at 12pm in front of the Dutchess County Courthouse (10 Market Street).
Participants are encouraged to dress as warmly as possible in as much purple as they can -- umbrellas, scarves, hats, posters, you name it. They're intending to have the group stay outside until 2pm (weather permitting) to march and sing songs, but everyone's presence is important for however long they're able to stay (even if it's just 20, 30 minutes). There will also be a vigil at 4:30 for Chris Grover, Addimando's partner and father of her 2 children, at Christ Episcopal Church (20 Carroll St., a 10 min walk from the courthouse). Recommended parking is in the garage by the courthouse (41 Civic Center Plaza) or at Christ Episcopal Church (20 Carroll Street).
The students' FB Event for the rally is here. A zine put together by students that gives a brief overview of Nicole's case is here.
With gratitude,
