Press Conference: Grandma Drone Resister Goes to Jail
A press conference was held for Mary Anne Grady Flores at 4:30 on Tuesday, Jan 19 before she was taken away to serve her six month sentence in the Jamesville Correctional Facility. Mary Anne is a life long activist, mother and grandmother and daughter, proprietor of a small Latino catering business in Ithaca, NY. During her absence, Mary Anne will be will be greatly missed her family, and most likely some hungry customers as well.
