A Benefit for Marie Mason

Marie Mason is a school teacher in Cincinatti, Ohio, a long-time
environmental and labor union activist and a loving mother of two. On
March 10th, Marie was arrested by FBI, Homeland Security, and local police
and charged with the destruction of logging equipment related to an
incident in Michigan in 2000, and another incident in 1999 related to an
arson at Michigan State University.

This is one of the more recent developments, in what many have dubbed the
Green Scare, a recent wave of repression aimed at disrupting and
discrediting grassroots environmental activism and criminalizing dissent.
