Marie Mason is serving almost 22 years for two acts of environmentally-motivated property destruction in which no one was hurt. This is the longest sentence of any of the current “Green Scare” prisoners. This talk will explain the background of the federal government’s Green Scare – the labeling of eco-saboteurs and animal liberation activists as “terrorists”, and resulting legal implications – and what you can do to support Mason and the other prisoners.
Brought to you by Support Marie Mason, Team Colors and other friends.

Romaine “Chip” Fitzgerald on Hunger Strike
May 4th, 2010[UPDATE! May 4, 2010]
Black Panther Political Prisoner “Chip” Fitzgerald Ends His Hunger Strike
The longest held Black Panther Party Political Prisoner, Romaine “Chip” Fitzgerald has ended his hunger strike at Corcoran State Prison in California now that the prison and its warden have met his demands. These demands were met only after countless calls made into the prison by his supporters. According to sources close to him, Chip is scheduled to be transferred today out of administrative segregation at Corcoran and into Kern State Valley Prison’s general population, where conditions (including access to medical care) may be significantly better. But, as he wrote recently, “we’ll see.”
We will be sure to keep you posted.
Without a doubt, Chip’s transfer is a people’s victory. Warden Lopez at Corcoran State Prison capitulated to the people’s demands. This proves the importance and value of political solidarity with prisoners in general and political prisoners in particular. Let’s keep our movement going strong.
The Committee to Free Chip Fitzgerald thanks you for your support! http://freechip.org
