Marie Mason, Eric McDavid & the June 11th

In recognition of June 11th as a Day of Solidarity with Long Term Anarchist Prisoners, this week's The Final Straw (now 1-2pm EST on Fridays) will present the second of two shows on the Green Scare. I've interviewed supporters of Marie Mason and Eric McDavid, both victims of the Green Scare serving 20 year sentences and, also, Anarchists.

The first was an interview with Will Potter, author of Green is the New Red and is archived HERE

This week we're speaking with Jesse, a Midwest organizer of June 11th Solidarity about the history of June 11th and the importance of being out here for the folks in there. We'll also be speaking with Sarah on Marie Mason's struggle as well as with Jennie from Sacramento Prisoner Support, which handles the case of Eric McDavid. Both Marie and David are anarchists facing around 20 years each for crimes that either: a.) didn't harm anyone; b.) didn't ever happen (Eric was convicted of conspiracy despite lacking intent). Both cases involve snitches cooperating with the law enforcement. Both cases concern people taking action (or thinking about it) to defend the earth.
