Talib Kweli

[The Following was posted originally as a fundraising update elsewhere.  The crowd funding platform does not like updates this long. It is post here for reader edification and so that people receiving the abreviated update can read the full text.  Thank you for your kind attention]

I'd like to thank those people who have donated to my legal defense. Your help has been a leg up, but this will be a long climb. Take a moment and share this update if you can.

I'm honored to be in such august company as Talib Kweli.  I have never met him but he has done a great deal to raise the level of political discourse in this country, indeed in the world.  He has used words as art to bring justice to the forefront of our national conversation.  I have in the past covered his former writing partner Mos Def's activism against the force feeding of hunger strikers in America's gulag.
