Please Support the Jena 6 Directly

A lot of money intended for the Jena 6 defense has been going to other organizations.

Currently the only way to be sure your money is getting to them is to send it directly to:
Jena 6 Defense Committee
PO Box 2798
Jena, LA
71342

You can also donate directly online.  The Color of Change folks are now working directly with the Jena 6 Defense Committee.

The Defense Committee is made up of parents and supporters of the Jena 6 and the above options are the only way to be sure the money's not diverted to support the organizing efforts of other groups, no matter how worthy they may be.

I would suggest keeping track of whether or not your check gets cashed and email the organizers if it doesn't at:
jena6defense(at)gmail(dot)com

From past experience I know that even Federal postal workers in such settings may get a little too involved in local politics.
