Brian Vaillancourt M42889
13423 East 1150th Avenue
Robinson, IL 62454As of this morning, Brian Vaillancourt has been moved to Robinson Correctional Facility, a minimum security men’s prison in Illinois.

Brian is an ALF operative convicted of the attempted arson of a slaughterhouse called McDonald’s in Rosemont. His expected release date is September 25, 2020. In addition to his covert forms of activism, he was integrally involved in Eleventh Hour’s above ground efforts to expose and confront vivisection crimes. One of his last letters received by NIO’s founder saddened us. We believe Brian is not getting the support he needs and deserves.

While another New Year’s Eve will fade into history tonight, please remember that the animals and our prisoners have no celebrations. Please remember Brian and Walter, both of whom have years more time to do behind bars. Every political prisoner associated with NIO shares a belief that the only real way in which to support our comrades behind bars is to escalate our initiatives in the free world, taking bold and decisive action for the animals. And then remember to write to share your accomplishments, make a donation if you can, and make sure the enemy knows that even if a few of us are down, the rest of us are far from out!
