The RICO conviction against the Prairieland activists is chilling. Modestly effective activists charged and convicted as organized crime, which directly criminalizes organization.



Johnson County, TX — In a surprising verdict, nine activists were found guilty last month in the Prairieland ICE Detention Center protest case. The defendants—Savanna Batten, Zachary Evetts, Autumn Hill, Meagan Morris, Maricela Rueda, Daniel “Des” Rolando Sanchez Estrada, Benjamin “Champagne” Song, Elizabeth Soto, and Ines Soto—were convicted of numerous federal charges, including riot, material […]
This weekend we continued with more postering and a banner placed on Freedom Parkway.
Our banner reads "Fighting Trump Means Fighting Ice - Support the Prairieland Defendants - They Could Be You".

The Texas ACLU, for example, isn't touching it.
Ask these organizations... why not? Are they that scared of Trump and ICE? The Martin Niemöller poem is often misquoted, but this is where it applies the most.
"First they came for the anarchists and antifascists

And also because we're scared of losing funding"
Please visit the website Prairielanddefendants.com and learn how you can be more helpful than the ACLU is now. One of our favorite suggestions is to start an "Emma Goldman Book Club" at your school or location.
ABC Dresden on deBanking and US Anti-Antifascist Pressure
To mark April's Weekend of Support for the Prairieland defendants, we spent the weekend working to raise awareness of the case. By wheatpasting, stickering, and bannering, we can bypass social media censorship and reach people directly. You can do this yourself too! The website https://prairielanddefendants.com/get-involved/ has plenty of material to print out and more suggestions about getting involved.
Remember that many of these defendants have been convicted and imprisoned for simply sharing zines in a Signal group. Dissent is being criminalized more and more: it's time to fight back while you can still speak against ICE.
Stay tuned for more!
