For their appeal to proceed, Katrina and Sarah will need the assistance of attorneys, which we have found in Israel. The attorneys need to be able to get in to see them, before their deportation is final!
Please keep the calls going today, and add this demand to your message.

Thank you!

and San Francisco in April 1971.
