On January 20th, 2017, militarized police in Washington, D.C. attacked
and mass-arrested over 200 protestors at an anti-fascist,
anti-capitalist march, charging 214 of them each with an unprecedented
eight felonies. Yet even while facing decades in prison, 194 defendants
refused to cooperate with prosecutors or accept plea bargains,
supporting each other to beat the charges but also to defend the
legitimacy of uncompromising resistance to the Trump regime. As a
result, the first trial against 6 defendants ended with a verdict of not
guilty on all charges, forcing prosecutors to drop charges against 129
of the arrested. However, the state is now doubling down against 59
remaining defendants, hoping to divide the powerful movement that has
successfully defended the arrestees. In an era of escalating repression,
these charges aim to stomp out protest and resistance through broad
conspiracy statutes, demonization of anarchists, and divide-and-conquer
tactics.

In this touring presentation, you'll hear an overview and critical
analysis of the case this far, highlighting its role and significance in
the changing landscape of political repression in the United States.
>From the broad use of conspiracy law to criminalize all aspects of
protest organizing to the dramatic victory against the state in the
first trial this past December, the case offers insights into strategies
for repression in the new administration, connections between different
targeted social movements, and the potential of collective defense to
effectively defeat the government's efforts. But most importantly,
you'll learn how this case fits into the broader struggle against Trump
and the world that made him, and why it is critical that we support the
59 remaining defendants until they all walk free.
