Hello everyone,

As many of you know, Steve accepted a plea in January. He is currently facing 5 years in prison, and he needs

your support during this difficult time. There are a few different things you can do listed below.

*Also - we recently tried to send this alert out to Steve's support list only to discover that the email list

has somehow been wiped. If you were receiving updates from Steve's support crew and would like to continue

receiving them you will need to subscribe again. We apologize for any inconvenience. To sign up for e-mail

updates, send a blank email to: supportsteve-subscribe[at]supportsteve[dot]org *

Here are some important ways you can support Steve at this time....

-Write Steve a letter. Letters help Steve keep his spirits up and stay connected to his communities outside of prison. Send Steve a postcard, a letter, a picture of your favorite place. It will only be a few minutes out of your day - but it will mean a lot to Steve.

Steve's mailing address is:


MURPHY, STEVE JAMES


0910300841


CENTRAL DETENTION CENTER


630 EAST RIALTO AVE


SAN BERNARDINO, CA 92408

Please remember that all of Steve's mail is read by the authorities and anything we say can absolutely be used against him. Do not mention his case or anything related to it. For a more complete description of mail regulations, visit: http://supportsteve.org/info.htm




-Donate. Steve still needs money to help pay for things like food and stamps from commissary and phone calls to friends and loved ones. Please consider donating - even the smallest amount helps. You can donate through PayPal on Steve's website, or you can put money directly on Steve's commissary (for more information on this, please scroll to the bottom of this email).

-Books. Good reading material can be critically important for folks in jail. Steve would love to have more books to help him pass the time. Remember - books must be sent to Steve directly from the publisher or bookstore (no used books), and hardback books will not be accepted. Amazon, AK Press, Barnes and Noble, and Microcosm Publishing are all examples of places on-line from which you can send Steve reading material. You will need his full address - including his booking number.

-Come to sentencing. This is perhaps the most important way you can support Steve. Standing in a courtroom alone can be a very scary experience. It would be wonderful if we could pack the courtroom with supporters so Steve will know he's not alone. If at all possible, please plan on coming to Steve's sentencing. Sentencing is currently set for April 5. The hearing will be at the Courthouse located

at: 312 N. Spring St. in Los Angeles. Courtroom #8 (Judge Manuel Real). We will update you about the time as the hearing gets closer. Please stay tuned!

Thanks to you all,

Steve's Support Crew
