Friends of Matt Diaz

He was just awarded The Ridenhour Truth-Telling Prize

Friends of Matt Diaz are accepting donations--all money will go directly to Matt to help him pay his costs. We expect to have a dedicated website up soon, but for now your donations are secure and deeply appreciated.

If you are not able to donate but want to be kept updated about Matt's case, just email Ariel with "Friend of Matt Diaz" in the subject line.

And of course you can comment about Matt's case here and/or ask questions about how you can help.
