ום הולדת לאסירת החזית מארי מייסון
Monday, January 14, 2013
7:30pm in UTC 02

לאסירת החזית לשחרור בעלי החיים וכדה”א מארי מייסון יש יומולדת 51 ב26 לינואר.
תקופת החגים היא תקופה מבאסת עבור מרבית האסירים ועבור מארי שאז חלה יום הולדתה מבאסת יותר.
לכן ביום שני בערב ניפגש כדי לכתוב לה מכתבים, לצייר לה גלויות ולהצטלם כדי לשלוח לה תמונות ולרומם את רוחה.
בנוסף היינו רוצים לאסוף עבורה מעט כסף לתרומה שבה תוכל להשתמש כדי לקנות בולים למכתבים, ודברים שהיא צריכה בקנטינה. ולכן אם אם אינכם/ן יכולות/ים להגיע ויש לכם/ן כמה שקלים לתרום זה יהיה מעולה

Chapel Hill, NC

January 26, 7 pm
Internationalist Bookstore in Chapel Hill 405 W. Franklin St.

January 26th is Marie Mason’s Birthday! Come celebrate this herbal healer, musician, mother, activist and eco-sabatour extrordinaire with us at Internationalist Books on Saturday, January 26th at 7pm. We’ll be writing letters and birthday cards to Marie and other eco-prisoners, eating snacks, socializing and watching a short video about the Earth Liberation Front. Marie Mason is presently serving 22 years in prison for a series of arsons against the timber and biotech industries. After being informed on by her ex-husband she took a non-cooperating plea deal, refusing to inform on any of her codefendents. She has been, and continues to be, a very active member of the Earth First Community. Posters and literature about the Earth Liberation Front and earth liberation prisoners will be available.
