Join me in writing letters of support to jailed environmental activist Eric McDavid. Tuesday, January 4, 7 pm, in Cambridge near Porter Square. Dinner gratis. Send RSVP for the address: cole.anders18 (at) gmail.com
I'll provide vegetarian dinner (with vegan option), stamps, and stationer; you write a few pages (or a few words) of support.

The focus of this evening's letter campaign is Eric McDavid. Eric was arrested on January 13, 2006, as part of the government's Green Scare campaign. He was charged with 'conspiracy to damage and destroy property by fire and an explosive.'

Eric's arrest was the direct result of the work of a paid government informant, a college student who posed as an environmental activist. Eric was imprisoned for what amounts to a thought-crime – no actions were ever carried out. He was charged with a single count of 'conspiracy.' Two other people arrested along with Eric eventually cooperated with the prosecution; Eric did not cooperate or inform. He is currently serving a 20-year sentence.

We'll be meeting on Tuesday, January 4 at 7 pm, in Cambridge near Porter Square.

Send an RSVP email; you'll receive a reply with the location of the event.
