UPDATE 10.27.12:
Tim DeChristopher has safely arrived at a halfway house in Salt Lake City, UT where he will serve out the remainder of his two year sentence. Contrary to recent media reports, DeChristopher has not been “released” and remains an inmate of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) until April 21, 2013.
As a federal inmate, DeChristopher cannot speak to media, and is not allowed visitors or media on the property of the halfway house without permission from the BOP. We ask that media and supporters of DeChristopher respect these guidelines and contact Dylan Rose Schneider to submit media or visitation requests.

NEW MAILING ADDRESS FOR TIM DECHRISTOPHER:
As we are expecting Tim to be transferred by October 24, 2012 please DO NOT SEND LETTERS TO FCI ENGLEWOOD. The BOP does not forward mail, so your beautiful notes of solidarity and support will not make it to Tim. This site will be updated with a new address as soon as possible.
Thank you, and as always, much Joy and Resolve to you all.
UPDATE 9.28.12 – Statement from Tim DeChristopher Regarding Decision on Appeal
“After nearly four years in the criminal justice system and 14 months in prison, I have decided not to continue my appeal through the federal court system. I greatly appreciate the pro bono efforts of Ron Yengich, Liz Hunt and Pat Shea, who have defended me in the courts and articulated the issues of the case. I am also grateful for all the support I have received thoughout this process, especially from Peaceful Uprising and the First Unitarian Church in Salt Lake City.
Throughout every stage of this legal process, it has been a predetermined conclusion that I should be punished for standing up to the collusion between government and corporations. Any potential discussion of ethics, justice or the role of citizens has been banished from the court. The government insisted on this back in 2009 when they wrote that such discussions should be relegated to “the public square, not a court of law.” The first development in this case was a preemptive motion by the government to limit
our defense, setting the stage for the trivialities which followed. As a result, our defense team has been restricted to debating a narrow range of technicalities rather than the critical issues of the case.
When a conviction is overturned, it is often reported that the conviction was overturned “on a technicality.” Yet is almost never mentioned that every conviction is obtained and upheld on a technicality. Technicalities are the entire foundation of a legal system which has closed itself off to questions of morality and justice. Weighing these questions is the function of a jury, whose role as
designed by our founding fathers is to protect fellow citizens from the government. But Judge Benson and the US Attorney’s Office insisted on preventing the jury from fulfilling their duty.
During the voir dire, the US Attorney’s Office was nearly apoplectic when it was suggested to potential jurors that they should use their conscience. After telling jurors that it was not their job to think about what is right or wrong, Judge Benson blocked evidence of government wrongdoing on the grounds that it would “confuse the jury.” That kind of contempt and fear of citizen participation in government is the hallmark of tyranny and the pathway to oppression.
To continue debating technicalities through further appeals would only serve as a distraction from the critical discussion of how citizens should hold their government accountable. If there is any hope of this country ever getting a justice system worthy of the name, that hope lies in fully informed juries of ordinary citizens, not in judges protecting the interests of the powerful.
Throughout my incarceration I have witnessed the direct personal impacts of a legal system obsessed with technicalities rather than justice. The prisons I have been in are filled with nonviolent inmates suffering from mandatory minimums and other policies which are completely detached from the best interests of the individual or society. The injustice on display in my case is truly systemic, and we will put our continuing efforts toward creating a system of genuine justice for all.” - Tim DeChristopher
Elizabeth Hunt, Attorney, Tim DeChristopher’s Legal Defense Team, Issued the Following Response:
“For me, I think it is very sad that he stands convicted of two felonies and continues to be held in federal prison in a case wherein the Government conceded on appeal that there was legally insufficient evidence to sustain either conviction, and only argued procedural issues. I do not see how it is in anyone’s interest for our government to prosecute, convict, and imprison someone and not take meaningful corrective action when it is recognized that there is legally insufficient evidence to justify the convictions.“

UPDATE 9.14.12 – TIM DECHRISTOPHER’S CONVICTION UPHELD ON APPEAL 2:1 -
Tim DeChristopher’s conviction was upheld on appeal. The question now remains if Tim and his legal team will decide to appeal again, if they do, we’ll be calling on all of you to help us stand together and with Tim and let the world know that the Justice System’s relentless targeting of Political Dissidents does not align with our pursuit of Climate Justice. This decision, and any that come after this will NOT deter us. Our movement will not waver in our resolve to take a stand for a just and healthy future.

SUPPORT TIM’S FELLOW INMATE PETITION FOR COMMUTATION; TAKE A STAND AGAINST MASS INCARCERATION AND THE WAR ON DRUGS
“Robbie is perfect example of what’s wrong with the war on drugs. For those looking for a tangible way to resist the war on drugs and mass incarceration, please support Rob’s petition for commutation.”
- Tim DeChristopher (Bidder 70)
Robert Furlong has served 5 of his 15 year sentence for growing Marijuana and possessing a legally owned firearm. This was Robbie’s first criminal offense, his motives were not malicious nor violent, and yet due to federally mandated minimum sentences, Robbie’s life has been put on hold for 15 years. Unable to be a son or a father, eating tax payers dollars instead of giving back to society, Robbie has completed a variety of rehabilitation and work programs through the is now asking for your help to grant him commutation so that he can care for his daughter and put what he has learned in prison to work in the world. Robbie is a perfect example of the unjustness and absurdity of mass incarceration and federally mandated minimums, both of which are rampant in the war on drugs Please, read Robbie’s story below, share it on social media and write a letter showing your support for his commutation and a second chance.

UPDATE 7.26.12 – 1 Year Anniversary of Tim’s Sentencing
“At this point of unimaginable threats on the horizon, this is what hope looks like. In these times of a morally bankrupt Government that has sold out its principles, this is what patriotism looks like. With countless lives on the line, this is what love looks like, and it will only grow. The choice you are making today is what side you are on.”
- Tim DeChristopher’s address to the Court – July 26th, 2011
1 year ago Tim DeChristopher went to prison for the future of us all. Instead of being deterred, in the last year climate justice activists across the globe have continued to put their bodies on the line for a livable future.

UPDATE: 3.28.12 Tim DeChristopher has been MOVED BACK to the Satellite Camp — YOU TOOK ACTION and demanded that Tim be immediately returned to the Minimum Security Camp at FCI Herlong.

UPDATE: 2.21.12. Tim DeChristopher Urges Action as Bureau of Land Management “Auctions” off Coal, Clean Air, Clean Water and Climate Stability for Bargain Basement Prices – Check out the Facebook page here.
Tim DeChristopher says ”This coal auction is another example of how the corporate control of government has locked the public out of the decision making process for public land and resources. That lack of democracy just means that citizens have the responsibility of working outside of official processes to stand in the way of injustice. . . Whatever opportunities for effective action present themselves, take action knowing that a loving movement is ready to stand behind you.”
UPDATE: 2.14.12 – WHAT NOW?
Tim is scheduled to be released to house arrest in February 2013, so we have another year to go! Please remember to send your love and support by writing to Tim and once he’s through the stack of books that have been so generously sent to him, we’ll be posting more book choices up!
Also, our challenge to you: join Tim’s interactive book group and expand and educate your community by starting up a community book group and share your ideas with us on the website so Tim and other book groups can continue the conversation!

UPDATE 11/11/11: Tim DeChristopher’s Birthday Wish – SUPPORT PEACEFUL UPRISING!
didn’t see it coming. I showed up to the Peaceful Uprising office for a ”meeting,” and I was shocked to see the place packed with my friends ready to celebrate my birthday. It was a pretty good bet that I wouldn’t be around to celebrate my technical birthday, so the folks at Peaceful Uprising wanted to get it in while they had a chance.
UPDATE 11/10/11 – SELLING TIM’S CAR! After speaking to Tim in length while visiting in Herlong, he decided to sell his Blue, 2006 Kia Spectra and put the money into the Legal Defense Fund.

Update 10/25/11: A few of us got the chance to visit Tim on October 15th and he’s doing GREAT! He’s happy and relaxed, eating good food and taking walks every morning and night to see the spectacular sunrises/sunsets over Herlong. (Which are breathtaking!) He said he’s reading, writing and working and is feeling good.
He just got a photo album so he’s asking people to send him photos with letters so he can see who is writing him! And photos of events, etc. We’re working on getting his Book Group going on the Peaceful Uprising site so you can see what he is reading, what he thinks about it and you can make a book list of some great reads! (Although he says he understands he has more time to read than others, and would rather you get out and take action rather than read!)
He’s up to his neck in books right now and thanks everyone for sending so much support – please hold off on sending him more books until November/December (But do remember that his 30th birthday is November 18th! So be sure to send some love and solidarity)
The appeals process will begin soon, so keep checking back here for more details.

all peace…
Empowered followers of Tim DeChristophers:
I followed Tim before his sentencing in Utah. I participated, alone, one hundred and seventy miles north of my home in Olympia, at the Seattle Federal Court House. I stood with protest sign and passed out leaflets, for the two hours, alone. I reminded/informed passing pedestrians concerning Tim’s sentencing and dedication in Utah. My reward was from individuals who wanted to learn and the handful who rallied me on with acknowledgement—plus the two suit and tie wearing Federal Marshals who came out to take my personal information, in a gentlemanly but obviously intimidating action. No matter, Tim is the one. We need to look to him as he has shown us how to sacrifice.
Hurrah! Tim is out to carry on our work, in coordination with us.
This year, I will graduate from Evergreen State College, majoring in energy economics, particularly solar (and Chinese solar, 70% of the world’s total solar manufacturing capability is in China.)
Today, I protest the tariff upon Chinese solar, as much as 31%, due Chinese subsidies. Chinese subsidies, which could be American dollars, brought back home at Chinese expense. Chinese solar brought home and installed on American homes using American labor. Boycott all things Chinese, except solar? Hey, let’s send the Chinese American coal as we competitively destroy the Chinese solar industry! Great energy security, developing energy independence and American coal mining jobs while extending the global failure with CO2 based externalities? Katrina + Sandy = $150B damages in under seven years. Wake up!
In Olympia, I regularly protest coal trains, tar sands, and fracking, within my region. I am physically active in participating within environmental meetings, senatorial, urban planning, port, and other government meetings or in actual in the street protests in my home town Olympia, WA, the State Capitol of Washington. I have attended two protests this year at the Olympia Capitol. A hundred regulars and a thousand semi regulars and I perform these motions, weekly to daily, within this region. Tim has spearheaded a cause we know to be true. He has empowered us to take charge together and as ourselves. We must stick together and grow in size.
I am glad Tim is out and a-OK after his dedicated sacrifice. However, as Tim begins eating political meat again, of his choice of course, there is a new hero for us to consider. I offer this not as humor but as concern for us to empower our comfort while we stand together. We all know her; let’s send her our love and the same compassion we have offered Tim DeChristopher. This Female American Hero is none other than an the Environmentalist Sandra Steingraber who is celebrating for all of us, in jail for our children’s future and for our freedom of speech (to include my personal choice of social modifiers: our undying faith concerning what is just and right.) This fine woman is in jail for fracking protestation.
Please take a moment today, and another moment tomorrow to reassure her that she is with concerned friends and human beings.
Way to go Tim. We, with brains, love you.

Thank you for all that you have already done, and thank for for all that you will continue to do. There are those who will do the “Right Thing” because it is the right thing to do, and those who will only do the “Right Thing” if they are forced to, because it is not in their own self interest. Even the mightiest sword is useless in the hands of a coward, we must, each of us, pick up the sword of justice, and face the enemy of Corporate America. The top 1% uses the following lens to focus on every issue. It revolves around the answer to the question: Do you think that having money and making money is a good thing? The answer, yes. Therefore it is the right thing to do. Anything that makes money is right, and doesn’t is wrong. This eliminates morals, scruples, ethics, laws, regulations
One way to look at it. I believe that all of us have the choice to act from ego or from spirit. It’s a choice. Ego says get it for me, attack the enemy; but spirit leads us to do it for each other; to do the “right thing” & peacefully.. Reason says that we have to work together in order to solve our problems, our planet, but I don’t know how we can promote love & peace & community without forgiveness. So, let’s bring them down (peacefully) and let’s forgive them and help them to learn how to be part of the community.
Bravo for you, Tim! I and my friends are in solidarity with you, and our gratitude to you is great. We are opposing hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) by gas and oil corporations here in Greene County, Ohio.
Thank you Tim. You, via 350,org, inspired me to sign up for the arrest-fest to stop Keystone XL last summer. As it turns out, I could only go in spirit, but I am still willing. This is what we need to do. We can’t roll over and play dead! I am a 54 year old family man with 2 kids and I am compelled to do whatever I can to ensure a less-damaged planet for them and generations to come. Keep your spirits up and “don’t go back to sleep”.
Hi Tim:
We see you. You are not alone.
Thank you.for inspiring us to simply come together, for all life on our planet.
Thanks for everything you are doing to raise hope and action Tim!
Thank you all for the wishes for Tim! I have been sending them along to him in Herlong and he is grateful for the continued support!

Illegal immigrants who do not commit a violent crime get no jail time or deported for breaking our country’s laws, get legal taxpayer’s money supporting their illegal lifestyle, anchor kids, get driver’s license and allowed to stay here. Yet a nonviolent act committed by a US citizen gets jail time. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO WRITE TO THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS AND OBAMA.
Why bring immigrants into this discussion? Undocumented workers are victims of the same system of unaccountable corporate greed and government complicity that Tim was sentenced to prisoner for protesting.
*Prison, sorry.
Please check out http://colorlines.com/drop-the-i-word/ and also consider the intersectionality of the environmental movement and issues of socio-economic injustice. It’s all related.
I would really like to write to Tim but the link above does not seem to be working on how to write him. Thanks!
