Dear Afgen.com Viewers,

You and more than 150,000 other ColorOfChange members have helped send a strong message that it's time for the injustice being perpetrated in Jena to come to a halt. We know it's going to be a long struggle, and we're proud that ColorOfChange members will be in this fight until all 6 young men are free. We'll be sending you information about more actions you can take over the next few weeks, but today, we wanted to let you know of a special way you can help.

While five of the students have yet to go to trial, Mychal Bell has already been convicted and sits in prison awaiting sentencing. We talked a few days ago with a lawyer who has visited Mychal several times. He says that it would help Mychal to hear from those of us who support him.

Can you take a moment to write Mychal a postcard or letter? It can be short. The key is simply that it's hearfelt. You can send your cards and letters to:

Mychal Bell

Inmate, A-Dorm

LaSalle Correctional Center

15976 Highway 165

Olla, LA 71465-4801

A few moments of your time could really brighten this young man's spirit. If you send a card or letter, please let us know by emailing mychal_letters@colorofchange.org.

Thank You and Peace,

-- James, Van, Clarissa, Gabriel, Mervyn and the rest of the ColorOfChange team
