Dear Friends, I am raising money to pay my legal costs for an appeal against my deportation ban. You can read about it on my social media pages. I am really humbled and grateful for all the donations so far!! I cannot thank you all enough for your generosity - I am well over the half way mark now, which is amazing.

I think that my legal case is worth pursuing as a point of principle. I did nothing wrong or illegal. I was accompanying farmers as they harvest olives on their own land, with their permission and invitation.

The olive harvest is now over for this year. Some of the groves we went to had not been accessed for a long time. I am proud to have been hosted and to have stood by the farmers. Please support my legal fund and share with sympathetic friends and family!!! As the olive harvest season ended this year, the UN reported that it was the most violent on record. The farmers and their families remain on my mind.
