it.

Each June for the past 8 years, a Day of Solidarity has been held to garner
support for Jeff and other eco-prisoners. Throughout the years, support for
Jeff has been widespread and the solidarity has been appreciated more than
words could ever express.

In February 2008, after winning his appeal, Jeff finally received a reduced
sentence and will now be released by December 2009; almost 13 years earlier
than his original sentence would have allowed.

So, this June there are reasons to celebrate. But there is still a lot to
accomplish. One of the most difficult aspects of prison is reintegrating back
into a "normal" life. Jeff has plans to take classes, while maintaining a job
and will be facing many living expenses, as well as dealing with the
emotional
reintegration.

June 14, 2008 will mark the kickoff to a campaign to raise money to help Jeff
with his education and living expenses upon his release. We hope this day
also
helps bring attention to the many eco-prisoners still facing time behind bars
and repression by the state.

We urge everyone around the world and across the U.S. to hold a solidarity
event on this day for eco-prisoners. Large or small, from protest actions to
letter writing parties, it is all worthwhile and helpful.
