Support a dairy campaign action taker

A dairy campaign action taker received grossly unfair treatment by the courts - please support with costs and hardship

After taking part in the 2022 Stop the Supply campaign, our brave, amazing fellow Animal Rising activist Mark Durrant soon found himself in tough times, with family bereavement and various other traumatic personal misfortunes all coming at once. Understandably he decided to plead guilty and get the trial process over with and out of the way, to enable him to concentrate on family.

Unfortunately, three overreaching lay magistrates decided to throw the book at him at sentencing and he was served with a £1500 fine, a 9 week suspended sentence, and 200 hours community service (the latter thankfully now dropped). This was his first offence and the severity of the sentence was unheard of for an aggravated trespass case. 

Not only this, but those in the remaining group had their charge dismissed at trial, leaving Mark the only one of the group sentenced. So, his co-defendants have decided to start a crowdfunder on his behalf, to contribute to the fine and help with hardship. Please donate whatever you can, it's very, very much appreciated!!
