       June 9, 2007 Day of Solidarity with Jeffrey "Free" Luers

       June marks the seventh year that our friend and comrade, Jeffrey "Free" Luers
       has been imprisoned and held captive by the state. Sentenced to an outrageous
       22 years and 8 months for burning three Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) at
       Romania Chevrolet in Eugene, Jeff has continued to be active in prison and fight
       back with his words and inspiration. Although Jeff recently won his appeal and is
       expecting a reduced sentence, this case is not over:

       "I have spoken with my attorney and there are still many battles ahead. Hard
       choices will have to be made. I am by no means close to walking out of prison,
       just one step closer. This is a victory, and while my own personal struggle is
       making headway others are just beginning."

       We encourage people to organize events for Jeff and other political prisoners,
       uniting struggles for human, earth, and animal liberation. In Jeff's own words:

       "This June, show your solidarity with me, and all those who have struggled, past
       and present, to make this world a better place. Struggle with us. Hold
       demonstrations or gatherings at federal buildings or US embassies and demand
change. It doesn't matter what cause or issue you fight for - we are all connected.
What does matter is that we stand united and make our voices heard."

For more information on how to get involved, contact Jeff's support network at
PO Box 3, Eugene, Oregon 97440 USA. Email freefreenow@mutualaid.org and

urgently needed, please help via www.freefreenow.org/donate.html

June 9, 2007, is a Day of Solidarity with Jeffrey Free Luers. There is no central organizing body
or group to check in with but the Jeff Luers Support Network can help by providing you with flyers,
graphics, and merchandise such as videos, zines by/about Jeff and allies in the struggle. Begin
planning your event now. Plan an action that makes sense for your area: a demonstration, treesit,
music festival, teach-in, stenciling campaign, rally, protests at an American consulate/embassy
overseas or public forum. Circulate petitions. Contribute to the legal defense for the defendants.
Do what you think is appropriate. But please remember when planning an action or event think
about how it could affect future court hearings. Ask yourself: does this help or hurt the possible
outcomes? Does this strengthen the movement or weaken it in the long-term?
