ONE DOWN, THREE TO GO:
an update from the Media as the Judge speaking tour

Hello everyone! It's surprising to believe that it has been a week now since we left the beauty of Halifax and started out on this four-week national speaking tour. The talk, entitled 'Media as the Judge: the case of accused 'Eco-Terrorist' Tre Arrow' has been a huge success. We began the tour in Charlottetown on Thursday January 13th and have since then held speaking events in Fredericton, Montreal, Ottawa, Sudbury and Winnipeg. We have been able to speak with so many great people, and have received enthusiastic and sympathetic responses. All have been extremely receptive to Tre's case and the issues surrounding the plight of Political Prisoners and the condemning messages that corporate media has produced. We have been speaking with university classes, student organizations and community members in progressive cafes and classrooms. As well, we just held a benefit for Political Prisoner Tre Arrow in Winnipeg which drew a huge crowd, including the local CBC Televison.

We have been bringing greetings from the members of the Tre Arrow Collective across Canada, the United States and Germany, who have helped to make it possible for us to maintain support and encouragement along the way. Focusing on the reasons that Tre is being targeted by the corporate media, the American Government, multi-national conglomerates and other members of the powerful elite, we have attempted to bring awarenes not only to the case of Tre Arrow, but also to all community members, activists and dissidents who have chosen to challenge the current structure of our culture and society. In Tre's words, “...for decades the FBI has targeted and persecuted countless others who dared to challenge the power structures in this world.
