Hello All,
Thanks and praise to so many of you for your continuing moral and
financial support for Sadie and Exile. Generous donations and creative
fundraising efforts have kept them in commissary and books throughout
the winter and their spirits remain very strong. We join them in
sending deep appreciation for all the correspondence, books and funds
they have received.

As noted in an earlier message, Sadie and Exile have expressed their
desire to have a website set up.  We recognize how useful this would
be and we've appreciated the multiple offers to assist in this
process.  Their one imperative is that any website be congruent with
their philosophy and aesthetic and therefore any design work needs to
be coordinated with Exile directly. Obviously, this is an area where
they want to have agency and control at a time when so much of their
autonomy has been stripped away.  If you have web design skills and
can volunteer some of your time towards the creation of a website that
will honor these important individuals, please write as soon as
possible to Exile and express your interest in working with him:

 Nathan Block #36359-086
 FCI Lompoc
 3600 Guard Rd,
 Lompoc, CA 93436
 U.S.A.

Also, Sadie has recently requested particular images to decorate her
locker and bulletin board: owls, stags and mermaids are high on the
list, though she said as well she'd love to see trees, bark, fungi,
mushrooms and branches.

 Joyanna Zacher #36360-086
 FCI Dublin
 5701 8th St.- Camp Parks- Unit F

 Donations of any amount can be made out and sent to:

In sadly related news, another individual has recently been caught in
the web of the "Green Scare." Briana Waters was recently found guilty
on two counts of arson related to a politically motivated action that
took place at the University of Washington in 2001. This fire has been
linked to the string of arsons that took place along the West Coast
said to be committed by members of the Earth Liberation Front. Briana
has steadfastly maintained her innocence, and was convicted primarily
by the testimony of two admitted arsonists who provided questionable
information to the government in return for drastically reduced
sentences. The judge who heard the case consistently denied defense
motions, and serious questions about the proceedings remain for many.
An appeal is likely. Briana was taken from her family (including her 3
year old daughter Kalliope) on Thursday immediately after the verdict,
due to spurious allegations that she was a "flight risk," and is
currently being held at a detention center in Seattle awaiting
sentencing. Being separated from her partner and daughter in this way
must be excruciating. We encourage you to write her when possible to
express your support for her. Please do not mention her case in any
way. A simple expression of empathy will undoubtedly be a balm for her
at this time...
