Environmental activist Rod Coronado will be sentenced on Monday August 7 after being convicted in a federal case for disabling a mountain lion trap in Sabino Canyon in Tucson, Arizona. Coronado will likely face 4-10 months in federal prison for his “crime,” and supporters are hoping that he’ll be allowed to report to the prison on a date following the hearing instead of being taken directly to prison from the courthouse. Coronado is also facing trial for “allegedly teaching, demonstrating or distributing information regarding destructive devices” according to an Arizona Indymedia report .

Coronado, a dedicated lifelong environmental activist, and his friends and family could really use your support. Read more about how you can show your support at the courthouse or with your donation to his legal fund on his website.
