DESCRIPTION:Compassionate Release for People’s Lawyer Lynne Stewart\nTuesday, October 
 8 (Lynne’s 74th Birthday), 5:30 PM\nMarket & Montgomery Streets (site of 
 Dianne Feinstein’s office)\nMontgomery BART/Metro, Market Street surface 
 transportation\nSign and Circulate the Petition:  
 http://tinyurl.com/cmbyu3g \n\n\nThe Lynne Stewart Defense Committee and 
 the SF Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild are sponsoring a demonstration 
 demanding compassionate release for People’s Lawyer Lynne Stewart. \n\nAn 
 outpouring of support is required once again to free renowned attorney 
 Lynne Stewart. She has submitted a new application for compassionate 
 release and received word on September 6 that FMC Carswell Warden Jody R. 
 Upton had forwarded her papers to the Bureau of Prisons headquarters in 
 Washington, D.C.\n\nWe must urge Bureau of Prisons Director Charles E. 
 Samuels, Jr. to act expeditiously to review Lynne Stewart’s new 
 application and to instruct the federal attorney to file a motion with the 
 Bureau of Prisons’ recommendation of compassionate release. Judge John G. 
 Koeltl has stated that he would consider the motion as soon as he receives 
 it.\n\nIn July 2013, Lynne Stewart was given a conservative prognosis of 18 
 months by the oncologist contracted by the prison, meeting the new 
 guidelines for compassionate release established by the Bureau of Prisons. 
 Two months have passed since then and Lynne Stewart’s health is 
 deteriorating rapidly.\n\nEvery day counts.\n\nPlease sign and distribute 
 the new petition so that a letter from you is sent by email to Director 
 Samuels and to Attorney General Holder.  The petition is at  
 http://tinyurl.com/cmbyu3g .\n\nOver 30,000 people in the United States and 
 internationally signed the first petition. Numbers are even greater if we 
 include the support from prominent organizations. We must send a strong 
 message again that Lynne Stewart should be free.\n\nOn October 8, Lynne 
 Stewart will be 74 years old. She has devoted her life to the impoverished 
 and oppressed, first as a school librarian in Harlem, New York and then for 
 30 years as an unwavering criminal defense attorney who always put her 
 client’s interests above her own.\n\nWe do not want Lynne Stewart to 
 celebrate her 74th birthday on October 8th in prison, but should that be 
 the case, she has asked us all to raise our voices in protest with vigils 
 outside U.S. Court Houses and other public centers.\n
