June 9, 2007 Day of Solidarity with Jeffrey "Free" Luers

by Friends of Jeffrey Free Luers
Dear Friends,

The 7th anniversary of Jeff's imprisonment is fast arriving, and to mark this date we are encouraging everyone once again to participate in a Day of Solidarity. This year we are asking people to hold demonstrations to demand change, not just for Jeff's case but for the world. Please plan an event in your community and inform us of the details so we can help you publicize it. For information from previous years events, see http://freefreenow.org/solidarity.html

Below is an announcement that can be circulated and reposted.

Donations are still needed to help with Jeff's legal costs - options are available here : http://www.freefreenow.org/donate.html

Thank you all again for your support! We don't have any updated information about Jeff's resentencing as of yet, but we will certainly keep you posted!

June 9, 2007 Day of Solidarity with Jeffrey "Free" Luers

June marks the seventh year that our friend and comrade, Jeffrey "Free" Luers has been imprisoned and held captive by the state. Sentenced to an outrageous 22 years and 8 months for burning three Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) at Romania Chevrolet in Eugene, Jeff has continued to be active in prison and fight back with his words and inspiration. Although Jeff recently won his appeal and is expecting a reduced sentence, this case is
not over:

"I have spoken with my attorney and there are still many battles ahead. Hard choices will have to be made. I am by no means close to walking out of prison, just one step closer. This is a victory, and while my own personal struggle is making headway others are just beginning."

We encourage people to organize events for Jeff and other political prisoners, uniting struggles for human, earth, and animal liberation. In Jeff's own words:

"This June, show your solidarity with me, and all those who have struggled, past and present, to make this world a better place. Struggle with us. Hold demonstrations or gatherings at federal buildings or US embassies and demand change. It doesn’t matter what cause or issue you fight for - we are all connected. What does matter is that we stand united and make our voices heard."
