To all of our supporters:

Last week Jessica entered her fifth month locked up in a cinderblock building away from her loved ones for the crime of protecting the water and taking climate action. This mile-marker in her sentence came the same week a deadly climate-charged tornado cluster killed many across the south and midwestern United States.

To highlight the absurdity that our friend Jessica has been called a terrorist for protecting water, while oil corporations continue to expand fossil fuel infrastructure, during a deadly climate collapse, our team is working on a video to showcase her wide base of support.


As she enters into her fifth month in a cell it’s important to continue to spread the message that water protectors are not terrorists and continue the fight to repeal her terrorism enhancement.

We are looking for representatives from organizations and individual supporters who signed the petition to send in short selfie videos, recorded on a phone, that we will edit together into one or more videos. All we need is 1-2 sentences per video, sharing in your own words why you support Jessica’s fight to repeal the terrorism enhancement in her sentenicnig. If you are an organization or collective we'd love to open the challenge to see who can get the most people into one video as possible!

We’re asking that the first sentence start with “I support Jessica Reznicek because…”. Bonus points for the video being taken somewhere beautiful that reminds you of what we’re all fighting for. Feel free to get creative with this! Another key message to close with might be something like, “We are Water Protectors not Terrorists.”

Once you have your video made please email it to us at freejessi...@gmail.com with the subject “Support Video”. 

Be sure to include in the text of the email where you are sending it from, any organization if you want one represented, and if you want it public with your video your name and pronouns.

If you can’t make a video continue to get creative in spreading the word about Jessica's case! Some things people have done so far that you could do as well is get a t-shirt, write an Op-Ed, make a Free Jessica Reznicek banner for the next Climate Justice protest, ask organizations to sign the petition, host a letter writing event, amplify our Twitter and other social media pages, and so much more!

To learn more about the case and how to support our campaign to get her free please visit our website at supportjessicareznicek.com.

Solidarity forever,

The Free Jessica Reznicek Team
