June 11 – Day of Solidarity

June 11 – Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason, Eric McDavid, and All Eco-Prisoners, Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners

June 11 began as an international day of solidarity with long-term eco-prisoner and anarchist Jeff “Free” Luers in 2004. At the timeNoname1 Jeff was serving 22+ years. Infuriated by the environmental devastation he saw occurring on a global scale, Jeff torched three SUVs at a car dealership in Eugene, Oregon. The sentence imposed on him was meant to send a clear message to others who were angered by capitalism’s continued war on the Earth’s ecosystems – and to those who were willing to take action to put a stop to it.

After years of struggle, Jeff and his legal team won a reduction in his sentence and he was released from prison in December 2009. But in the years intervening Jeff’s arrest and release, the FBI had carried out a
series of indictments and arrests in an attempt to devastate the radical environmental and anarchist communities. Two of the people caught up in this maelstrom of repression were Eric McDavid and Marius Mason.

After serving nearly 10 years in prison, Eric’s judgment and sentencing were vacated when his legal team exposed in a habeas petition that the FBI had failed to disclose potentially exculpatory evidence to the defense.  Eric pleaded guilty to a lesser charge that carried a 5 year maximum sentence and was released almost immediately in January 2015.

Please join us in commemorating an International Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason, Eric McDavid, and all Eco-prisoners on every June 11. This is a time to remember those who are in prison – who are continuing their struggles on the inside. This is a time to continue and strengthen
the very work for which Eric and Marius were put in prison – to struggle against capitalism, ecological devastation, and the ever more diffuse forms of control in this prison society.

June 11 -13, 2016 there will be a convergence in Washington, DC to fight Prisons and Support Eco-Prisoners.  Fight Toxic Prisons website for more info
