Daniel McGowan to be sentenced Monday, June 4th

After a very long wait and almost 18 months since his arrest, Daniel's sentencing is here. We want to thank everyone for all the emails, phone calls and letters this past week. It has been tremendously difficult to experience from across the country all of Daniel's codefendants' sentencings.

Joyanna Zacher and Nathan Block were sentenced to the governmental recommended sentence of 7 years and 8 months yesterday in Eugene, Oregon. We wish them the best in the years ahead. We are not sure how long Nathan and Joyanna will be in Lane County awaiting their final prison destination but I'm sure they can use a letter of support and encouragement.

You can reach them at:

Nathan Block #1663667
Lane County Jail
101 W 5th Ave
Eugene, OR 97401

Joyanna Zacher #1662550
Lane County Jail
101 W 5th Ave
Eugene, OR 97401

Daniel will be sentenced Monday at 9AM in Eugene Federal Court. We will be sending out an update at the end of the day. We have no idea what sentence Daniel will get but his lawyers will be arguing for a fair one.

If you are in NYC, there will be a gathering to await the sentence:

Awaiting Daniel McGowan's prison sentence

Local activist Daniel McGowan will be sentenced today in Oregon Federal Court in Eugene, Oregon for two arsons claimed by the Earth Liberation Front that hurt no one. Come out and await the phone call from Daniel's family about what sentence Daniel gets and have some coffee and snacks. Supporters will be discussing what is next with Daniel's support campaign and prisoner support in NYC.

As always, thank you so much for the support you have shown us through this past difficult time. We very much look forward for this episode of our lives to be over and for Daniel to serve his time and get out one day.

In solidarity,
Family and Friends of Daniel McGowan
