Call-in campaign in support of anarchist prisoner Eric King enters its second week.
As of last night, Eric is still at Grady County Jail in Oklahoma City and we want to keep him there and stop him from being sent to a dangerous situation at USP Lee.
We recounted last week that Eric has already been threatened by white supremacists on the way to USP Lee last time and was walked into an empty chow hall to fight a neo-Nazi (prisoner) enforcer at USP McCreary last year. The Bureau of Prisons knows what they are doing by sending him to USP Lee. We do not accept indefinite placement in segregation as an alternative. We demand Eric be transferred to a low or medium security prison and be allowed to finish his time and be released in December 2023.
To that end, we are asking for your solidarity for another week of calling, faxing and emailing various Senators and BOP staff. We added Missouri Senators Blunt and Hawley on Friday (that is where Eric was born, raised and lived until his 2014 arrest).

Today we are asking for you to contact Colorado Senators Bennet & Senator Hickenlooper (this is where Eric’s family lives and where he will be released). Of course, please continue to contact the Bureau of Prisons contacts at DSCC, Mid Atlantic Region and the new one we added: USP Lee.
