To make tax deductible donations to Lawrence’s defense fund please log on to http://ncrj.org/lawrence-brose/ and donate to the Artist Fund for Lawrence Brose. Lawrence’s financial situation is dire as he struggle to continue to pay his attorneys. He has sold his house as a result and will soon be moving. It is a financial strategy to help with his debts. Bankruptcy is an inevitability at this point, so our usual appeal should be understood as urgent. We encourage everyone to visit the Defense Fund website to catch up on what is new, view the artwork that has been donated for sale and read the compelling letters of support from notable people who have voiced their outrage and concern for what is happening to Lawrence. www.lawrencebroselegaldefensefund.com Thank you for your continued support.
