Support Tim DeChristopher

The site at the link has a button labeled "Pay Pal", but if you click it, you go to a page that can also accept credit cards. This is on 350.org, so I expect it is legitimate. I think it is outrageous that Tim got a 2 year sentence for this.

Tim DeChristopher was just sentenced to 2 years in prison for disrupting an illegal auction of oil leases in Salt Lake City. His sentence was meant to intimidate the climate movement – to make us sit down and shut up.

We’re not going to do that.

Tim is appealing his sentence and needs about $50,000 for legal fees. That’s a lot for a young activist to take on, so folks are pitching in to make sure Tim can handle his legal costs.
