Eric McDavid Speaking Tour Headed Your Way...

Dear Friends,

After enduring over 2 ½  years of having our loved one in jail and prison,
we have decided it’s time to hit the road and start screaming from the
rooftops about Eric and his case.  We only regret that it has taken us
this long…  but circumstances demanded restraint, and our energies were
focused on the struggle for Eric’s freedom.  But now we can wait no
longer.  Eric has suffered enormous injustices at the hands of the state –
and we want to do everything we can to make sure that people don’t forget
about Eric, that they understand how his case was created, and to ensure
that people learn what they can from our experiences these past 2 ½ years.

To that end, we are putting together a speaking tour to educate folks
about Eric’s case, which we will use as a lens through which to study the
basic concepts of entrapment, the use of informants, and government
repression in general.  Unfortunately, these tools of the state are
becoming more and more prevalent, and it’s imperative that people
understand how they work.

If you are interested in scheduling a presentation in your community,
please contact us at:  tour@supporteric.org.  We will be on the road from
the end of August (starting in Denver, CO), through the month of
September.  First we’ll be headed east, then we’ll make our way all the
way back out west.  Below is a rough estimate of when we’ll be in
particular regions.

We hope to see you soon!
