On Tuesday August 1st Josh Wolf, an independent journalist working in San Francisco, refused to testify or turn over unpublished video out-takes to a Federal Grand Jury investigating a July, 2005, anti-G8 demonstration. He was charged with civil contempt and has been jailed until further notice. He could be held for up to a year (the remainder of the Grand Jury). Josh was never convicted of a crime. He is being held on civil contempt in order to coerce him to testify and turn over his unpublished work product to a federal grand jury.

We encourage everyone to support Josh while he is being held at FCI Dublin. If we keep on fighting there is a good chance we can win Josh's release. There are many way in which you can help. Please refer to Josh's support website for more information:

* Call the San Francisco Board of Supervisors:

There is currently a resolution before the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, introduced by Supervisors Ross Mirkarimi and Tom Ammiano, aimed at "resisting the federal government's intervention in the City and County of San Francisco?s investigation of the July 8th, 2005 G-8 protest and expressing support for the California Shield Law." The Supervisors charge that the grand jury is an "attempt to circumvent the local judicial system," and they opposed federal government intervention in this matter.

The resolution is currently in committee and will be heard within the next two weeks. We encourage everyone to call the board of supervisors to encourage them to vote in favor of this resolution and to express their support for Josh.
