Marie in Transit

March 12, 2009 in support

3/19/08 – This update is out of date Marie has been transferred by federal marshals to FCI Waseca

We just received word that Marie was transferred from The Clinton County Jail yesterday (3/11/08). Marie was able to make a brief call to her mother and she is currently in the Newaygo County jail. We do not expect her to be there very long and expect her to be transferred again very soon. We will keep everyone updated.

About Marie

Marie Mason of Cincinnati, Ohio is a long time environmental and social justice activist and loving mother of two. On March 10th, she was arrested by FBI, Homeland Security and local police on charges related to two Earth Liberation Front actions that occurred in Michigan, in 1999, and 2000.

Marie’s case is one of the latest developments in what many have dubbed the “Green Scare,” a recent wave of government repression aimed at disrupting and discrediting grassroots environmental activism and criminalizing dissent.
