call for solidarity funds from Eugene Jail Support:
Raven is a trans and Indigenous comrade, friend, student, and activist who at 19 was arrested for their participation in the George Floyd Uprisings during the summer of 2020. Three years on, as they face ongoing state repression they are required to pay many tens of thousands of dollars. Through community fundraising, they were able to pay a large chunk, but still more remains. Eugene Jail Support has generously offered to match your donations until 1/15 up to $5,000.00. To donate, Venmo @EugeneBailFund.
Raven was pressured to snitch on multiple occasions and steadfastly refused, even with the possibility of years in prison. In federal court, they faced a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years, even though they had no criminal history. After over two years of negotiations, Raven's lawyers secured a favorable non-cooperating plea deal that dismissed Raven's federal charges while avoiding jail time.
The action isn't over until everyone is home free, and while Raven does not have to serve jail time, this high price is an enormous burden for anyone - let alone a young student. Standing with comrades near and far to the end of their struggle is an act of solidarity that proves our strength!
