I mentioned earlier that I’ll be speaking at the National Conference on Organized Resistance, and I also wanted to let you all know about a benefit concert that weekend for Briana Waters.
I was invited by the folks putting on the show to say a few things about the trial, and give an update on the “Green Scare.” If you can make it, be sure to find me and say hi. I’m really excited about the show–Ghost Mice and Erik Petersen!–and I’ll update this when the other bands confirm.
Freedom for Briana Waters!

Briana Waters is a devoted, loving mother and partner, a dedicated
musician and violin teacher, and a caring friend to many. It has come as
quite a shock to everyone who knows her that she has been wrongly accused
of participating in a politically motivated arson at the University of
Washington claimed by the Earth Liberation Front. These charges carry a
draconian mandatory minimum sentence of 35 years in prison should she be
convicted. Her trial began on Feb. 11, 2008 and is expected to last one
month. All money raised from this event will go towards childcare and
other expenses incurred during the trial. Please support her however you
can. For more information: www.supportbriana.orgWe Are Family is a local organization that serves low-income seniors in
Washington, D.C. Please bring a canned food item, or a donation of cereal
or peanut butter for their regular grocery delivery program.Sponsored by the Brian Mackenzie Infoshop: www.dcinfoshop.org
