Jay Vehige's Lawyer Expenses

Jay Vehige is the founder of a local chapter of Cop Block, called Emporia Cop Block, and lives in Emporia, KS. As a result, he has been targeted, cruelly incarcerated, robbed, and is also a target for vigilante violence from the police's family and friends. On September 20th he was arrested for the trumped up charges of Disorderly Conduct and Stalking when filming the police and is currently facing targeted pressure and jail time of 1 year. While he was incarcerated for a month and a half he was held in maximum security for nearly a month and during that time he received 7 tickets from the Emporia Police Department in retaliation for his efforts in the community. I don't ask this for most people but Jay has been a strong force in this movement: Police issues are critical right now and to lose such a strong organizer I feel would harm our regional efforts, as well as be a failure in real solidarity. I feel if we support Jay through his trial that jail can be avoided, but if the worst should happen, he should not face it alone. We are asking those who can help, to donate to this cause for his legal expenses.
