DESCRIPTION:The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals granted bail today (8/31) to Josh Wolf 
 – the independent journalist and blogger who was jailed August 1st for 
 refusing to turn over video footage to a federal grand jury. \n\nPress 
 Conference \nFriday, September 1 at 1 p.m. \nU.S. Court of Appeals for the 
 9th Circuit Building \n95 Seventh Street in San Francisco \nSpeakers: Josh 
 Wolf, Attorney Dan Siegel of Siegel & Yee, Carlos Villarreal of the 
 National Lawyers Guild \n\nSince Wolf’s jailing, a number of 
 organizations besides the National Lawyers Guild have voiced support for 
 Wolf and condemnation of the Federal Government. This month the Society For 
 Professional Journalists made a donation of $30,000 to his defense. The 
 ACLU and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press have both filed 
 amicus curiae on behalf of Wolf. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors, 
 led by Ross Mirkarimi and Tom Ammiano, also adopted a resolution this month 
 urging the passage of a Federal Shield Law and condemning the federal 
 government’s actions in the Wolf case. The resolution charges that the 
 grand jury is an “attempt to circumvent the local judicial system,” 
 since the crime being investigated involves an alleged attack on a San 
 Francisco police car. \n\nContact Carlos Villarreal at 415-285-5067 x 10 or 
 Dan Siegel at 510-839-1200 x 4\n
