We have received word of a tentative trail date for Marie in early August.
With the possibility of a trial only a few months away please keep in mind
that time is of the utmost importance with the following request.

Download this zine, put together by EWOK! (formerly known as the Twin Cities Eco-Prisoner Support Committee). Contains information on the Green Scare, your rights when targeted by the government, general info about government repression, prisoner support, and other stuff. Pretty good.
And this is a one-page insert w/ updated information about Midwest Green Scare developments, as well as some interesting local JTTF activity.
Due to circumstances we can’t control, the movie scheduled for tonight has been moved to 3221 Elliot ave in South Minneapolis. It’s still a potluck at 6:30pm with the movie starting promptly at 7pm!
See ya there
We would like to make Marie's friends and close supporters aware that
recently individuals who have gone to visit Marie in Michigan have been
pulled over for the most minor traffic violations by local law
enforcement. A situation that should result in a warning or quick ticket
turns into an interrogation of the identity, intent, and associations
everyone in the vehicle.

We will be on hand to accept donations to support Marie Mason, indicted for ELF actions in the Upper Midwest. We will also have a letter writing station to support other imprisoned activists.
upcoming films June 12 “The Private Life of Plants” and the South Park ALF Episode!
Marie Mason was arrested and charged with ELF activities in Michigan
dating back almost a decade. As many of you already know Marie has since
been released on an unsecured bond and has been under house arrest for
over a month now awaiting trial. Marie’s attorney petitioned the court to
serve her house arrest in her own community of Cincinnati, OH, where her
young daughter, close friends, animal companions, and support crew are
located. The court denied her request citing she “did not have sufficient
property interests in Cincinnati”. She is required to serve her house
arrest in the western district of Michigan. Read the rest of this entry »

It has come to our attention that the F.B.I. are actively attempting to contact people involved in support work for these defendants. We would like to remind everyone that they are under no obligation whatsoever to speak with law enforcement under any circumstances without an attorney present. Additionally, if you do choose to speak to law enforcement, and are found later to have been untruthful in any way, this constitutes basis for criminal prosecution.
The National Lawyers Guild has established a hotline, 888-NLG-ECOL, for individuals arrested, subpoenaed or questioned for offenses related to environmental or animal activism. We encourage people to call the NLG hotline if you are contacted by law enforcement and would like to consult with an attorney on these
matters.
Got Your Back
Friends of Marie Mason
We are happy to report that despite a mind numbing amount of red tape and drama from the probation dept. and the associated electronic tether, Marie was released from jail Tuesday. She is under house arrest at a relative’s house and only able to go outside with permission 2 hours a week. She also needs special permission to see her lawyer because his office falls outside the western district. There is a tentative trial-date set for May 27, 2008, but we have been informed by her attorney that this date will almost certainly be pushed back as there has not been adequate time to prepare the case.
