Update from the
Shoatz family - September 2019
As we mentioned last month, Maroon
recently underwent surgery and had
an extended stay in the prison
infirmary.
We share with you now
Maroon’s latest message on his
health:
“As a Political Prisoner and fighter
for over 50 years, I've now reached
a point where those close to me can
no longer shoulder the things
they're called on to do without
broader community support.
Recently I was operated on, where it
was discovered that I'm suffering
Stage 4 colorectal cancer.
This is a CALL for
donations to help us cover costs
of treatment.
If the lying politicians can amass
thousands of small donations, it
speaks ill of our struggle against
injustice if we will not support our
own in similar ways!
Spread THIS call and help us!”
Straight Ahead!
Political Prisoner
Russell Maroon Shoats/z
While the news of Maroon’s ill
health is of course disheartening to
us all, we’re committed to doing
everything in our power to ensure he
receives comprehensive treatment for
this latest diagnosis. Your support
is critical to our efforts.
We’re reaching out to our extended
community of support with a request
for immediate donations towards
Maroon’s medical costs. We hope to
gain a holistic understanding of the
treatments he’s received and make
informed decisions about his medical
care moving forward.
Donate here. Please give
generously in this moment of
heightened urgency.
We invite you to write Maroon
directly and send him words of
encouragement. Maroon's Earthday is
August 23!
