Jailed activist needs support!

Jailed activist Peter Young needs your support NOW!

Peter has been able to make a couple of calls out, and received his first visitor today BUT he has now been told that he had forfeited "all his rights" and his phone privileges have been revoked because he refused to take a non-vegan TB test. As a result he is now being held in high security isolation - unable to make phone calls or trade for food. Since being jailed the only thing Peter has been given that he can actually eat is a small amount of lettuce. Peter desperately needs our help so that he can remain in touch with his supporters and start getting food he can eat.

PLEASE CALL THE JAIL NOW!

(408) 299-8770

POLITELY point out that Peter is an ethical vegan and
* should be allowed to make phone calls to his supporters
* can be given an alternate form of TB test (a chest x-ray)
* should be given vegetarian/vegan food

CASE BACKGROUND:

A support website is being setup and will be online soon
