from We Love Lore
Friends, I am so incredibly sorry to inform you that the Federal District Court has denied Lore’s emergency appeal for release on house arrest pending trial. We were horrified to receive the news late today, that the court would accept and repeat verbatim all of the US Attorney’s overreaches, unsubstantiated claims, basic factual errors, and bafflingly obvious falsehoods, to detain her indefinitely.
Lore has languished in detention for more than eight weeks already, including 18 days in solitary confinement, while we all worked and prayed so hard for her release. The Federal Bureau of Prisons offers no hope whatsoever of allowing any of us in her immediate family to see Lore. As you would expect, her abiding concern throughout this ordeal has nonetheless been for you and your welfare. We are absolutely astounded by our US Attorney’s capacity for cruelty against the community of care that feels so much safer with Lore than without her.
We’re inconsolable tonight, but we refuse to stop fighting for the champion who has always fought so hard for each of us. The road ahead is very long, but we are stronger and more determined than ever to walk it with your help. Your character references, support fund donations, and letters of encouragement and love to Lore; all of the public and private support to Lore, her family, and her community, continue to lift and empower us.
Please continue to lend her your strength. We will post further updates about opportunities to share your love and support in Lore’s much more joyous and creative spirit here, on Instagram, and Twitter as we go. Please continue, as our Quaker friends put it so eloquently, to hold Lore in the light ????
