Keep Up the Support for Josh Wolf! New Hearing on August 1! Josh's last civil contempt hearing was continued until August 1st. We need to keep up the support for Josh. Having so many people attend the last hearing really helped and changed the mood in the court room. Any of these hearing could result in Josh being sent to prison for simply asserting his constitutional rights.
Keep up the solidarity! See you on August 1st !...
