Break Free Albany Blockaders Legal Fund

On May 14th, 2016, as part of Break Free Albany, five climate dissidents blockaded crude oil train traffic bound down the Hudson River for two hours in Guilderland, NY. Maeve McBride, Marisa Shea and three of their support team were arrested and arraigned on Saturday during Break Free. They are hoping to take their case for a dramatic shift in climate priorities and immediate cessation to crude oil bomb trains to trial.

Please Support Them!
