Bookin for Daniel: Pledge Now!!

Friends and Comrades,

Hi, this is Esther of Eberhardt Press. I am running the Bookin' for
Daniel marathon this weekend! That is 26.2 miles and I would love it
if more of you pledged. Thanks so much to everyone who has already.
Your support means a lot to me and a whole lot to
Daniel. Remember
every bit helps!
=====================

From Friends and Family of Daniel McGowan:

Our friend is running a marathon this weekend in San Francisco to
raise funds and show support for eco-defense prisoner Daniel McGowan.
All proceeds from this run will go directly to Daniel McGowan’s
education fund. Daniel will complete his master’s degree while
serving a seven-year sentence in federal prison. We believe that
Danniel’s voice must not silenced by his imprisonment and that
communication and education are vital in the battle against global
warming.

“ those in power have not dealt with global warming. That, in my
opinion, is a crime. Old-growth forests in Oregon are
still being
logged, genetically engineered trees and crops are still being
introduced into the environment and the only success I see is when
people organize and pressure governments and corporations to change
their behavior.” - Daniel McGowan


Global warming is caused by burning fossil fuels and deforestation.
Daniel McGowan is a social justice and environmental activist from
NY. Around ten years ago, at a time when the media was protecting
corporate interests by pandering to global warming deniers, Daniel
took action.
He used economic sabotage (including two arsons in which no one was
harmed) to raise awareness and stop the deforestation of the planet.
He will now spend the next seven years in prison.
While the earth heats up, forests are still being unsustainably
logged, as a result
humans are displaced by environmental
catastrophe, and more species die each day. The state will continue
to crack down on those who resist. Someday, your children may ask
you, “what did you do?” Will you tell them, “I recycled ?”

By supporting Daniel, you can contribute
in a meaningful way to creating a more
honest, healthy, and sustainable life
for all creatures of planet earth.
