May all prisoners in the Everglades be free. May the prison guards, the ICE deputies and all who are partaking in the capture and ensuing of this violence be free. May no further harm be done to the kidnapped people, the nearby native Americans , the creatures and the habitat of the wild, unique and expansive Everglades.

It’s been 100 days too many since “Alligator Alcatraz” was ramrodded into the heart of the Everglades and began taking detainees. In that time, at least 20 acres of new pavement have been laid, high-intensity lighting has brightened once-dark skies, Florida panther habitat has been threatened, and access to public lands has been cut off. A judge ruled in our favor on Aug. 21, stopping operations so federal environmental laws could be enforced — a ruling now challenged in the appellate court.

It’s also been 100 days of strengthening community in the form of peaceful demonstrations, organizations banding together in court, and growing momentum to hold government officials accountable. We’ve been energized by a groundswell of Friends of the Everglades supporters who have donated to the Everglades Defense Fund, sent thank you letters to our offices and spread the word by sharing our social media posts. 

100 days from now, we’ll be wrapping up oral arguments at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. We have a strong argument, a strong team, strong supporters and a mission that is rooted in truth. No airports. No rock mines. No prisons. ONLY EVERGLADES!
