December Volunteer Meeting- Letters of Liberation: Supporting Activist Prisoners
-> 317 W 48th St, Minneapolis, MN 55419, USA
->
Come together with fellow advocates to stand up for Captain Paul Watson, a lifelong defender of our oceans and marine life, who remains unjustly detained. Despite dedicating over 50 years to marine conservation, Captain Watson is still being held in Nuuk, Greenland, as Denmark and Japan deny him the justice he deserves. His detention has been extended yet again, with his next hearing postponed until December 2nd, 2024, his 74th birthday. At this meeting, we’ll listen to a heartfelt podcast message from Captain Watson, recorded from his prison cell. Sign a petition calling for his immediate release. Email Denmark’s Minister of Justice, Peter Hummelgaard, demanding action. Write letters of support to Captain Watson in prison. Discuss strategies to prepare for potential legal consequences at future demonstrations. Everyone is welcome! You don’t have to be vegan to participate in ARC events. Food and beverages will be provided, and if you’d like, feel free to bring a vegan holiday treat to share with the group! Together, let’s stand for justice and show Captain Watson that he’s not alone.
