CELEBRATE TIM'S RELEASE!!

Tim has served his two years in federal prison, and will be released on April 21, 2013.  To celebrate, Peaceful Uprising has organized community screenings of Bidder 70 across the Nation.  Tim will make his first public appearance since his incarceration immediately following the film in an hour long Q & A that will be streamed live to over 50 different venues.  The Salt Lake City screening is at the Tower Theater (876 East 900 South) at 7:00pm and is being hosted by Peaceful Uprising and Salt Lake Film Society. 

See if there's a screening in your community, and join us in celebrating the safe homecoming of our dear friend.  Purchase your tickets online now! 

NOTE:  Tim will no longer be at a halfway house, so if you'd like to send him a letter, please send it to Ken Sander's Rare Bookstore.

MEDIA:  We invite all representatives of the media to join us at the screening of Bidder 70 on April 22nd where Tim will be participating in an hour long Q & A that will be streamed live directly to over 50 screening venues nationally.  At this time, we are not scheduling individual interviews.

Update: 10.27.12 - Tim DeChristopher Arrives at Halfway House  

Tim DeChristopher has safely arrived at a halfway house in Salt Lake City, UT where he will serve out the remainder of his two year sentence.  Contrary to recent media reports, DeChristopher has not been "released" and remains an inmate of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) until April 21, 2013.

As a federal inmate, DeChristopher cannot speak to media, and is not allowed visitors or media on the property of the halfway house without permission from the BOP.  We ask that media and supporters of DeChristopher respect these guidelines and contact Dylan Rose Schneider to submit media or visitation requests.

with technicalities rather than justice. The prisons I have been in are filled with nonviolent inmates suffering from mandatory minimums and other policies which are completely detached from the best interests of the individual or society. The injustice on display in my case is truly systemic, and we will put our continuing efforts toward creating a system of genuine justice for all."
