"Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness, and our ability to tell our own stories..."
- Arundhati Roy
THIS BLOG is NOW RETIRED
I began this blog in May 2009 following the death of Marcia Powell at Perryville State Prison in Goodyear, Arizona. It is not intended to prescribe the path that leads to freedom from the prison industrial complex.
Rather, these are just my observations in arguably the most racist, fascist, militaristic state in the nation at a critical time in history for a number of intersecting liberation movements. From Indigenous resistance to genocidal practices, to the fight over laws like SB1070 and the ban on Ethnic Studies, Arizona is at the center of many battles for human rights, and thus the struggle for prison abolition as well - for none are free until all are. I retired the blog in APRIL 2013.
this email below came to me via a friend, who receives alerts from the Marijuana Policy Project...it broke my heart. The video is about Robin Prosser, but the bad news of the day is about Richard Flor. Believe it or not, I get an awful lot of mail from prisoners doing state time for nothing but smoking pot on probation. I can't believe we still haven't legalized that stuff all across the board.
Condolences to Richard's loved ones.
fuck this drug war:
disarm its enforcers,
disable its executioners,
and demolish its prisons.
LEGALIZE TODAY!!!!
---------------
Five years ago, Montana's most outspoken medical marijuana patient
- Robin Prosser - committed suicide after the DEA seized her medicine,
making her life unbearable.
Watch MPP's Video Tribute:
Now flash forward to this past Wednesday night, when the feds' war on
medical marijuana claimed another Montana citizen's life ...
Former medical marijuana provider Richard Flor died on Wednesday after
suffering heart attacks and kidney failure about six months into his
five-year federal sentence. Richard was sentenced despite suffering from
diabetes, Hepatitis C, and osteoarthritis.
For months, the federal government failed to place him in a facility
that could give him the medical care he needed - and that the judge
recommended.
Richard was Montana's first registered caregiver, under a law that MPP
passed via voter initiative in November 2004. He was assisting his wife
Sherry - who suffers from chronic pain and is allergic to pain
medications - as well as other patients.
Richard believed President Obama and his Justice Department when they
said that medical marijuana providers would not be a federal enforcement
priority. So, in 2009, Richard co-founded Montana Cannabis, where
patients could get reliable, safe access to their medicine. But then the
feds suddenly shifted their policy in March 2011, targeting Montana
Cannabis and several other providers without warning.
The feds didn't spare Sherry, either: She is serving a two-year sentence.
Please email your U.S. House representative ( http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=dOEg0X7iR1rXzaXixtNn3A
) to ask them to pass legislation to give legal protection to medical
marijuana patients, caregivers, and businesses in the 17 (and soon to be
more) states and the District of Columbia, where medical marijuana is
legal.

A former medical marijuana provider in Montana died in federal
custody while being transported to federal prison Wednesday night.
Richard Flor, 68, was being sent from a private prison to a federal
prison when he had two heart attacks and passed away, Toke of the Town has learned.
Flor,
of Miles City, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years in prison
on April 19. He had asked for leniency because he suffered from
numerous physical and mental ailments.
Flor,
his wife, Sherry, 55, and their son Justin, 35, all pleaded guilty to
drug charges related to a medical marijuana operation run out of their
home.
He co-owned Montana Cannabis, targeted in last year's Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA) raids across Montana as part of the
Obama Administration's crackdown on medical marijuana. Federal agents
searched more than two dozen Montana medical marijuana businesses,
warehouses and residences in the wave of raids.
According
to the federal indictment, the three Flors were accused of conspiring
with unnamed coconspirators to grow more than 220 pounds of cannabis in
Helena, Miles City, and Three Forks, and to distribute the marijuana in
Billings, Helena, Miles City and Missoula.
Federal
agents claimed the Flors got at least $1.7 million in cash proceeds
from activity from January 2007 to March 15, 2011, according to the
indictment. The three were accused of laundering some of the money
through bank accounts to continue the operation.
The
Flors were also charged with having 28 firearms, including various
pistols, rifles, and semiautomatic and assault-style guns, according to
the indictment.
To my fellow activists now struggling through life - let this be a reminder that you are not alone and that we desperately need you here. All the injustice, grief, war, and human suffering calls for us to stay and do everything we can about it - you can't help us anymore when you're gone. Don't give up the fight - your last shred of hope may just keep someone else alive, too.

Support Food Not Bombs!
"Food Not Bombs (FNB) is a grassroots movement that believes we could end hunger throughout the world by putting all the resources spent on the war machine into the mouths of the hungry instead. If we spent the same amount of money our government spends on war, on food instead, we could feed every person in the world three meals a day. In addition to opposing war, we are also against the enormous amount of waste Americans create. To fight the vast waste of perfectly good food, we salvage food that would otherwise be tossed. If you are interested in preparing food with us, please give us a holler! We encourage anyone to be our friend on here who supports the FNB movement and is interested in cooking and serving with us."

Produced by EARTH LIBERATION PRISONERS SUPPORT NETWORK
"The whole experience has been tough, but all the kind and strengthening words and wise thoughts from strangers made it much easier!" (Former Swedish Animal Rights Prisoner)
ABOUT E.L.P. SUPPORT NETWORK ELP is an international eco-prisoner support network founded, in Britain, in 1993 to support jailed eco-activists. We support the prisoners by producing various regular prisoner lists:
Spirit of Freedom is ELP's international monthly prisoner listing which is circulated by e-mail.
Urgent ELP! Bulletin is an e-mail service that distributes the names of any new eco-prisoner as soon as ELP gets their details. For more info e-mail ELP4321@hotmail.com
STATEMENT ON VIOLENCE Some people listed in this newsletter have carried out violent actions including assault and murder. 'Spirit of Freedom' does not condone violence. But we are also against censorship & believe people can decide for themselves who they wish to support. --------------------------------- Welcome to the August 2009 edition of Spirit of Freedom. As ELP goes to print we are still anxiously awaiting news of Justin Solondz. As previously reported in Spirit of Freedom, in mid-June ELP learnt that the American environmentalist, Justin Solondz, who is wanted by the FBI in connection to their investigation which led to the Green Scare Trials in both Oregon and Washington, has been arrested in China. Since then ELP has not heard anything more about Justin. If anyone has any information on Justin and where he is currently being held then please let ELP know.
The arrest of Justin, in China, is a good reminder to us all of the importance of the international prisoner support movement and how people can be jailed in any country anywhere around the world. In the past ELP has listed prisoners in North America, Latin America, Europe, Scandinavia, Africa, Asia and Australasia. In fact the only continent ELP has never listed a prisoner from is Antarctica!!! As our prisoner lists always show, the cause for Earth/Animal Liberation is international. So please, regardless of what languages you speak and regardless of where you live in the world, please support the eco-prisoners and no compromise in defence of Mother Earth!
If anyone notices any of ELP's prisoner details is out of date or we do not list a prisoner who we should list, please let ELP know as soon as possible. ELP is run by a small group of volunteers and although we try to ensure our lists are accurate, we admit we do make mistakes. So help us help keep the lists accurate by letting us know of any changes we need to make. ----------------------
