Marie Mason of Cincinatti, Ohio is a long time environmental and social justice activist and loving mother of two. On March 10th, she was arrested
by FBI, Homeland Security and local police on charges related to two Earth Liberation Front actions that occured in Michigan, in 1999 and 2000.

Marie’s case is one of the latest developments in what many have dubbed the “Green Scare”, a recent wave of government repression aimed at disrupting and discrediting grassroots environmental activism and criminalizing dissent. For more information, go to www.ecoprisoners.org.
