The Silver Circle movie is nearing it’s release date and they are looking for nominations for an outstanding female liberty activist. One of the protagonists of the movie is a character named Zoe Taylor, a liberty activist. In keeping with the spirit of this character the movie is looking to award the Zoe Taylor Award to a lady who exhibits “exceptional courage, principle and virtue.”

The award will be given to the winning candidate present at the 2012 Porcupine Freedom Festival. So nominees ought to be individuals that are certain to be there. Here is the text from the official Award page:

Send in your nominations for a female liberty activist who deserves the Zoe Taylor Award for exceptional courage, principle and virtue. Nominees must be planning to attend PorcFest in June. Registration is now open. To nominate a female activist please include her name, city, and around 300 words why she deserves the award in an email to award@Silvercirclemovie.com. But time is short, so don’t delay.

The Zoe Award will be presented before the screening of Silver Circle on Thursday, June 21st at 8pm in the Theater (the old Bingo Hall). We’ll be recognizing all the nominees before the award is presented. We are thrilled to congratulate all of the talented and passionate women in the movement. This is a great time to do so, and we hope you all get your nominations in ASAP so we have plenty of time to choose our activist wisely.

After serving a 75-105 day sentence in jail for his victimless crime spree, DerrickJ will be in self-imposed exile from the Shire and touring the continent in search of exciting activism.

Are you already getting active for the cause of liberty? Perhaps you’re part of a liberty community. I want to travel to you and report on the cool ideas and projects that you’re working on. I’ll be using agorist cabs whenever possible, but I’ll need some money for Greyhound busses, too.

While on the road, I’ll be producing one video per day covering the status of my trip. I’ll also be producing an episode of Fr33 Agents Radio News Read more

My friend and co-blogger Derrick J checked in to the local spiritual retreat Monday at 5pm. His sentence could be as little as 75 days, and possibly over 100, depending on “good time”. Please write to Derrick via Mail-to-Jail or at this address:

Derrick Horton
825 Marlboro Rd.
Keene, NH 03431

You can put money into his commissary (so he can be a little more comfortable on the inside) via the info here.

Stay tuned to Free Keene as Derrick J is expected to blog from the inside. Plus, a feature-length documentary is in the works.

Your letters make a big difference – please send your thoughts to Derrick. Mail-to-Jail makes it easy.

Welcome to our newest blogger, Jay Denonville. Jay has taken the reins of a very important activist project, Mail-to-Jail. Here’s his bio from the bloggers page:

Jay finally moved to The Shire from the Tampa Bay Area in Florida in November 2011. He has been involved in the Free State Project movement since 2003, and through the years has slowly progressed from being a minarchist to being a full blown anarchist/voluntaryist. He spends his days making a living with online merchandise sales, causing trouble with his opinions, and running the Mail-to-Jail.com website.
