In response to the recent arrest and jailing of activist Michael “Big Mike” Tiner, who has been charged with assaulting a police officer, we have launched the Citizens Resisting the Assault of Police Officers (CRAP) medical aid campaign.
Here are some things you can do to help:
-
Write a letter to the Manchester Police.
Include your ‘medical aid’ (cartoon band-aid) with a letter explaining its purpose, and your concern over Mike’s arrest and continued jail stay. Send ‘medical aid’ letters to:
Manchester Police
351 Chestnut St.
Manchester, NH 03101We also encourage you to call and ask about Mike, to let the police and jailers know we are still concerned about the treatment and continued detention of a peaceful man.
Manchester Police: (603) 668-8711
Hillsborough County Department of Corrections: (603) 627-5620 -
Contact your local media outlets.
Write, email, or call your local media (new stations, newspapers, radio stations, indie media) to bring attention to Mike’s situation and the CRAP campaign. (note: sending a band-aid with written letters may bring more attention to the story)
-
Write to Michael “Big Mike” Tiner to show your support.
Civil disobedience is not an easy form of activism; however, it is important that those who are brave enough to do it know they have support. Writing letters to Mike in jail has been made easy by our friends at Mail-to-Jail (click the link to type a letter to Mike, which will be printed and sent to the jail, free of charge).
If you would rather write your own letter/postcard, you can send them to:
Michael Tiner
CCN: 46733
Hillsborough County D.O.C.
445 Willow Street
Manchester, NH 03103
