Five of the men released spoke at a press conference today, August 22 at 11 am. You can watch the video at on the Innovation Law Lab Facebook Page.
I’d like to offer to house a couple folks and/or their families. How do I go about doing this?

Yes, I already submitted my info there over a week ago and haven’t heard anything. I wasn’t sure if there was someone specific I could contact.

Their phone number is (971) 340-4861. We are finding that all of these organizations are very busy and somewhat behind in responding to volunteers, and this may be the case here. But give them a call, and thanks for volunteering!
