Marius has been serving a 22 year long sentence accused of arson at a University GMO research facility, logging infrastructure and a mink farmer’s boats. He was locked up in 2008 after his arrest, and later sentenced in 2009. He has been an incredibly resilient activist behind bars, where he transitioned, set up Jan 22: Day of Solidarity with Trans Prisoners, fought for his own legal name change as well as for his ability to be moved to a male prison and has kept supporting workers rights, animal rights and environmental campaigns.
Last week it was announced that in May Marius will be released to a half way house in Detroit. We don’t know what the conditions will be, but this is huge news and cause for celebration.
For now, if you can afford it, please support Marius by sending some money to his fund: https://supportmariusmason.org/support/
We will keep you updated with any news on his release, but please if you can, donate so he has a smooth transition to the outside world.
Solidarity always, across all struggles, smashing down the walls that keep us apart.
