Jesse has been released! Thank you for all of your support. They are still dealing with legal troubles in Minnesota and California, but are a big step closer to being home.
Just as we breathe a deep breath of relief to have Jesse back we tighten our muscles against the continued affront of State repression, and move our efforts towards other friends in need.
