Friends, we're only a month away from the trial I've been waiting for: my full climate necessity defense trial for the Shut it Down/Valve Turners action.
What: After winning a unanimous decision in WA Appeals Court, overturning my conviction on burglary (which followed a trial with a hung jury), Skagit County, WA prosecutor Rich Weyrich is trying me a third time, personally, with Superior Court Judge Laura Riquelme presiding.
Where: Skagit Superior Court, Mt Vernon, WA.
Defense: Lauren Regan, Cooper Brinson (CLDC), Ralph Hurwitz, and Alice Cherry, Kelsey Skaggs (Climate Defense Project), are preparing the climate necessity defense granted by the Appeals Court ruling, and we'll announce our list of expert witnesses shortly!
Please forward this to anyone who might be interested. Thanks for your help!

How you can help: We'd really appreciate support in the courtroom. As at past trials, we ask that folks be respectful and attend as individuals, and without banners, red shirts, etc.; it's important for us to be seen as taking the legal process seriously. We have a carpool sign up where you can offer or ask for a ride. Here's a Facebook event.
We also need to raise another $8-10k to cover experts' expenses, and other trial costs.
