Free Tre Arrow

I played harp Saturday night at a fundraiser for Tre Arrow, who is now in Canada applying for political refugee status. We were trying to raise money for his legal fees to do so, and so he can defend himself against trumped-up charges of arson instigated by someone else’s plea-bargain. You can read the details of this at his website.

He is another victim of the misguided aims of this administration, to label all who dissent as terrorists and traitors. He has always stood for nonviolence and awareness of the devastating effect we have on the Earth.

We had an art auction, with the proceeds to be donated to his legal fund. His sister Shawna, and friends Kyr and Michael helped put it on. Tre called from Canada to talk, and to tell us how much he appreciated it.
