We are supporters of John Moore, a wrongfully convicted Ojibwe man living in Sudbury, Ontario. Email us at sudburyawo(at)gmail.com. Follow us on Facebook. Learn the basics of John's struggle starting from this post, which was a call for support for an earlier phase of the campaign, or even better from the episode of APTN Investigates devoted to John's case. Or check out the other posts below -- some are specifically about his case, others about the larger issues involved.
