Make a Call to Support Krow, Anti-Mining Activist Facing Felony Charges

from Penokee Defenders

Katie Kloth aka Krow is a radical queer person who is facing felony and misdemeanor charges relating to incidents surrounding anti-mining protests in the Penokee Hills of Northern Wisconsin. They are currently being charged with robbery with use of force (class E felony), two counts of criminal damage to property, and one charge of theft of movable property. Please call the Iron County DA Marty Lipske’s office and tell them to drop the charges! September 19th is the last day the DA can change their mind, so time is of the essence.

DA Phone#: (715) 561-5671

On Friday September 12th, gather in the back yard of Coyote Snuggly, and those who make a call during this call-in party will be entitled to free beer, juice, coffee, and food.

Here’s a pre written script:
–“Hello, my name is ________ and I’m calling because I believe the charges brought upon Katie Kloth should be dropped. Katie Kloth is a very well respected member of their community, and a felony charge would effectively ruin their life as they would no longer be able to work with children- one of their strongest assets. Their being charged with robbery with use of force is a huge misunderstanding of the situation and is in no way representative of their character. Prisons and jails should not exist for people like Katie – compassionate, loving, sociable, and selflessly acting in the interests of everyone. I ask again that you please drop their charges. Thank you.”
