Rebel greetings, y’all!
Just wanted to update you on the situation with Babygirl. She recently won an appeal in the California supreme court and will soon have another hearing about having her sentenced reduced. Her original sentence, for armed robbery, was 7 years. For her third strike she was sentenced to 25-to-life. This 25-to-life sentence would be reduced to 20 years or less and lead to her release.
We been slowly chipping away at paying her legal fees. Currently, she still owes $894 to the legal firm that’s been working for her, NLPA. This month NLPA is having a promotion where they’ll match up to $250. Our crew is gonna take responsibility for scraping up that $250 which would take care of $500 toward her case. This would leave her owing a grand total of $394. Talkin bout some math right here, folks. Donate?
So, if you happen to be in the mood to contribute to the release of a Trans Woman and resolved anarchist prison rebel now is a time when your financial support is crucial seeing as the law people are almost completely paid off. However, if you ain’t got no funds, perhaps, consider sending her a letter at:
J. Gann E-23852
S.V.S.P. D3-1250
P.O. Box 1050
Soledad, CA 93960
Jenni also wanted me to post a heartfelt letter she received from some ARA comrades on her blog. Well, we’re a little scattered here in the… um.. support “office” and seem to have lost access to the blog so we’d like to share it here.

Jennifer Gann, A.K.A. Babygirl, is an anti-authoritarian trans woman and insurrectionist amazon held captive for over 25 years for armed robberies and a 1995 attack on a district attorney and associate prison warden. She took part in the 1991 Folsom Prison hunger strike, after which she was beaten and tortured, convicted for armed resistance, and sentenced to multiple 25-to-life sentences under the Three Strikes Law.
She has spent over ten years in solitary confinement at Folsom and the Pelican Bay Secure Housing Unit. Despite all of this, Jennifer continues to struggle for freedom, remaining a committed anti-authoritarian, anti-imperialist, anti-racist, anti-fascist, and anti-capitalist. Jennifer now qualifies for a reduction under California’s Proposition 36, and early release under the newly enacted Prop. 57.
