Marius Mason is being released!
Anarchist trans prisoner Marius Mason is finally being released after seventeen years of a twenty-two year sentence!
Marius is an anarchist, environmental and animal rights activist as well as a loving parent, artist, poet, and musician who was given a brutal sentence for acts of property destruction. No one was hurt, no individual targeted, and yet he was given a heavy sentence with a “terrorism enhancement.” His arrest was based on snitching (including his then spouse) and FBI harassment of activists. Marius was shuffled around between prisons, isolating him from family and outside friends, but he is resilient, and despite all the challenges being incarcerated creates he has fought tirelessly for trans prisoner rights.
Marius was one of the first people to be signed up for the Friends of AK prisoner support membership, and has over the years written reviews of AK Press books and been in friendly communication with collective members. We want to celebrate his release and help him land on his feet, so through May we will give Marius $2 for every item sold (books, sweatshirts, you name it). We hope this will add up to a tidy sum, and we encourage you to get a book! You can also skip the AK Press-middle man and help him directly through his support committee, here.
