June 9, 2007 Day of Solidarity with Jeffrey "Free" Luers

The 7th anniversary of Jeff's imprisonment is fast
arriving, and to mark this date we are encouraging
everyone once again to participate in a Day of Solidarity.
This year we are asking people to hold demonstrations to
demand change, not just for Jeff's case but for the world.
Please plan an event in your community and inform us of
the details so we can help you publicize it. For
information from previous years events, see
http://freefreenow.org/solidarity.html

Below is an announcement that can be circulated and reposted.

Donations are still needed to help with Jeff's legal costs
- options are available here :

Thank you all again for your support! We don't have any
updated information about Jeff's resentencing as of yet,
but we will certainly keep you posted!

June 9, 2007 Day of Solidarity with Jeffrey "Free" Luers

June marks the seventh year that our friend and comrade,
Jeffrey "Free" Luers has been imprisoned and held captive
by the state. Sentenced to an outrageous 22 years and 8
months for burning three Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) at
Romania Chevrolet in Eugene, Jeff has continued to be
active in prison and fight back with his words and
inspiration. Although Jeff recently won his appeal and is
expecting a reduced sentence, this case is
not over:

"I have spoken with my attorney and there are still many
battles ahead. Hard choices will have to be made. I am by
no means close to walking out of prison, just one step
closer. This is a victory, and while my own personal
struggle is making headway others are just beginning."

We encourage people to organize events for Jeff and other
political prisoners, uniting struggles for human, earth,
and animal liberation. In Jeff's own words:

"This June, show your solidarity with me, and all those
who have struggled, past and present, to make this world a
better place. Struggle with us. Hold demonstrations or
gatherings at federal buildings or US embassies and demand
change. It doesn’t matter what cause or issue you fight
for - we are all connected. What does matter is that we
stand united and make our voices heard."
