Tre Arrow Speaks Out
TRE ARROW URGES EVERYONE TO FOCUS ON THE REAL ISSUES
19 March 2004

VICTORIA, BC -- Tre Arrow, well known forest and animal rights activist, 
ledge sitter, and congressional candidate, urges the media to focus on
the  important issues we face, and urges those who receive this message
to think  about it and act upon it.

On the issue of his true name, Tre says "the media is obliged to use my 
legal name of Tre Arrow. Check the Multnomah County Courthouse's records 
and you will see the government is lying to you about my name."

Tre went on to talk his supporters, the media, and the general public. 
"I want folks to know I am committed to a fast and I have not eaten any
of the  poisonous food provided to me of late, in solidarity for those
suffering  from the lack of justice in the U.S. Injustice system, and in
protest of  this incarceration.

"The government and media focus on me as an individual when they should
be  focussing on U.S. Corporations' pollution of and ravaging of our 
environment. Why can't the media give us stories on slaughterhouses, 
Hanford, and the continuing practice of clearcutting?

"I encourage folks that the time is now for folks to stand up and put a 
stop to the injustices to our basic human rights and to earth mother, our only
human home."

Tre regrets that the U.S. government is preventing him from talking to
you all directly, and asks you to do what you can to help defeat the
injustices imposed on us.

Tre Arrow Defense Fund
e-mail: truth2power at griffinsforge.com

The Speaking Truth To Power Defense Fund announces its transition to the
Tre Arrow Defense Fund.

The Speaking Truth To Power Legal Defense Fund was established in the wake of
Tre Arrow's 2002 grand jury indictment. We felt it was important that there be
a defense fund in place in the event that Tre was ever arrested.

For a number of logistical reasons we could not, at that time, name the
fund after him. For the past two years we have worked with the Portland
chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, who has held funds in trust for us, and
we are eternally grateful for their assistance, as well as their
tireless efforts for civil rights

After speaking with Tre Friday evening, we agreed that it is time to have the
fund in his name, we are in the process of making this transition, and hope to
have everything in place for our April 4th benefit. Donations made to Speaking
Truth Power will be transferred to the new account Tre was concerned that
unethical people might claim to be raising funds on his behalf (it would not be
the first time) and wanted all his supporters to know that THIS IS HIS ONLY
AUTHORIZED DEFENSE FUND, and that every cent of it goes to defending him,
Period. 

He also wanted to reiterate his gratitude to all for their love and support,
and to thank folks who cared enough to contribute even before he was in
custody.

Now that he is in custody, raising money for his defense is critically
important: his defense team is going to need a phenomenal amount of money in
order to mount an effective defense. The new website will be
trearrow.org, we have reserved the name and will be putting up the new
website soon. We will post and distribute updated information about the
fund as changes are finalized. Thanks again for your continued support.
