Support Josh Wolf! Call and Write The SF Board of Supervisors!

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San Francisco, refused to testify or turn over unpublished video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his unpublished work product to a federal grand jury.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

"approved vendors".


* 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.
