WASHINGTON, June 12, 2023 -- Following is a statement from Eileen O'Reilly, president of the National Press Club, and Gil Klein, president of the National Press Club Journalism Institute, on the jury trial starting Monday of North Carolina journalists Matilda Bliss and Veronica Coit. Bliss and Coit were charged with trespassing in connection with their coverage of the eviction of a homeless encampment on December 25, 2021, and were found guilty at a bench trial in April. They appealed the ruling to a jury trial that is taking place this week. “We were deeply dismayed in April by the conviction of Matilda Bliss and Veronica Coit of the citizen journalism news outlet The Asheville Blade on misdemeanor trespassing charges, and are confident that this injustice will be reversed at this week’s jury trial. Bliss and Coit were engaged in routine newsgathering on a matter of public importance on December 25, 2021, when they were reporting on the clearing by police of a local homeless encampment. Police body camera footage shows Bliss and Coit did not endanger anyone or obstruct any police activity. “Routine newsgathering should never be treated as a crime.

Minu Margaret, like you and I is a woman who loves to move, and #KeepMoving. Unfortunately, the Indian market simply did not cater to her need for super functional, technical and innovative technical apparel. While some clothes were comfortable, they simply did not stretch enough. Those that did stretch, were too compressive. Problems were plenty, solutions scarce. And so, Minu decided to take matters into her own hands and founded Blissclub in 2020. Building for women of India has been superbly exciting! What began as a personal attempt at making a better pair of workout clothes, has now become a revolution to get women across the country to go out, workout and move around more comfortably and freely. My dream is that every woman and every girl, has access to the best products and experiences to keep #MovingIt, so we can all be happier together! And that’s why I’m so excited to bring BlissClub to every woman in India. Minu Margaret Founder, BlissClub
