The Jedis are a group of volunteers who travel the country feeding people for free with their mobile kitchen. The Jedis feed peace gatherings, the poor and homeless and victims of natural disasters. The Jedi’s mission is to spread love and light throughout the world by bringing people together with food.
What originally began as three people in the fall of 2016 grew to a much larger operation by the time they were arrested in Amarillo, Texas nearly a year later. By that time the caravan consisted of a kitchen bus and three support vehicles. The Jedis have fed thousands of people with their mobile kitchen in over twenty states so far.
As the new year came around the Jedis decided to travel through the state of Texas. They were camping overnight at Palo Duro Canyon State Park when they were confronted by local police officers. After an extended period of profiling, harassment and police misconduct nine Jedis were arrested and the bus was impounded.
At the moment the Jedis are facing felony charges of marijuana possession that could lead to very long prison sentences. With strong legal representation there is a good chance that the cases will be thrown out entirely. If that is not possible, there is still a lot of room to fight these charges.
These people are very peaceful, loving individuals who put all of their energy into being the change they want to see in this world. They are true servants of the people. Right now, they are being viewed as felons and criminals. We are raising funds because this isn’t right.
With a proper legal fund the Jedis may be able to walk free or serve short sentences. The kitchen can continue its operations, helping countless people. Without a legal fund, the kitchen dies and these good people will spend a significant portion of their lives in federal prison.
Any and all support is greatly appreciated and will go directly to assisting these individuals in continuing their collective mission of feeding and helping people, by providing them with capable legal defense.
