Support Jordan

To whom it may concern,

We all know how hard it is for recently released prisoners to get back up on there feet. Jordan Halliday has created a new podcast recently and has started a kickstarter to try to get better microphones as well as expand the podcast to be a full network that everyone in the community could take part in. He needs help spreading the word but hates asking for help. So we decided to ask around for help in his behalf. Please consider donating to his new podcast kickstarter. They only have just a few days left and as of right now are looking at failing. Please help spread the word. They are offering lots of awesome rewards packages.

Hello friends,

I just wanted to express my gratitude towards all of you who have supported me and shown continued solidarity through all of this mess.

I wanted to say thank you for all the letters and books I received while I was in prison.

I’ll never be able to express in words how important those letters and books were to me.

I am still readjusting to “free” life, outside of prison. But, slowly getting back into the groove of life.

As I have expressed countless times [http://bit.ly/I81JKu], we need to know our rights and read up on the grand jury system and how it is used as a tool for political repression. It is only a matter of when, not if, someone in our communities will be effected by a grand jury subpoena.

Recently the FBI has conducted a series of raids and subpoenaed many radical individuals in Seattle, Olympia, and Portland.

This shows that my case is not an isolated incident and it can and will happen more in the future.

While I am celebrating my release from prison. Please, keep other political prisoners in mind.

Thank you all again,

Jordan Halliday

Yesterday, our good friend Jordan Halliday was released from prison after serving 10 months for refusing to cooperate with a grand jury that was fishing for
information about the animal rights scene in Salt Lake City, UT. After refusing to cooperate with a grand jury in 2009, Halliday was jailed for 4 months in hopes that the sentence would make him talk. Halliday still resisted the grand jury. He was released and then swiftly indicted with criminal contempt of court for refusing to testify the same grand jury. On July 27, 2010, Jordan pled guilty to the charge of criminal contempt of court.

Although he was sentenced to serve 10 months on November 3, 2010, Jordan’s defense team filed an appeal which bought him some more time. The appeal was denied by the court and Jordan was arrested to start his sentence on January 9, 2012. Jordan’s courage to resist the grand jury has been an inspirational act to us all, especially for the grand jury resistors to come. Check out this post where you can read a letter from Jordan talking about resisting the grand jury! Also check this link to see a perfect example of how to deal with a grand jury.

We are so happy that Jordan is now in the loving arms of friends and family outside of prison walls. It is vital to remember that prisoner support does not end with prisoner release. Prison is a fucked up and lonely place, right now Jordan needs our support more than ever. If you are on twitter, please show jordan some love. If you are on facebook, tell him how happy you are that he’s out!

Jordan Halliday was released today! Welcome Home!

Don’t think I will need to post things here anymore but maybe Jordan will post something in a few days! :)

Goodbye everyone, thanks for supporting Jordan!

xoxo
