David is spending this holiday season behind bars for his action to cut off the stream of money that banks invest in mining companies. enabling them to create the huge, capital-intensive surface mines that destroy the mountains of Appalachia.
Because he refused to pay restitution, David is having to serve 31 days in Bridgeport Correctional Center. Over a year ago, David was part of an affinity group that hung a banner from a crane telling the nearby UBS headquarters to “stop funding mountaintop removal” as part of the Hands off Appalachia Campaign. This disposition comes after David has been summoned to court in Stamford 11 times to be jerked around by the Connecticut Judicial S
ystem.
We all know what a good “comrade” David is, and now it’s our turn to support him while he’s in Jail from Hanukkah through late January.
If you want to write to David, address letters to:
Bridgeport Correctional Center
1106 North Avenue
Bridgeport, CT 06604
