(CORRECTION)

I just learned that this court date is not as important as I thought (the actual jury trial will start, if at all, in the next 2 months). This means that solidarity is no longer needed (but I will still need court watchers). The collective energy of the community can be put to better use elsewhere. Thank you for all of your support and I will let you know when my actual trial starts.

Solidarity Forever,
Keep the struggle alive,
sincerely,
Daniel Bono
