We did it! Words cannot express the elation we felt upon learning from Alex’s attorney that Alex was granted bail. Wherever you are today – from Pico Union, to Northern California, New York, DC, and all the way to San Salvador and beyond – we are bound by an incredible sense of happiness and community. We Are Alex!
Alex has been locked up since June 24th and was denied bail twice. We are incredibly happy that Alex appealed to the Ninth Circuit and that he has had such strong community support along the way in this daunting process. |
