Solidarity South Florida

Why did three of the Florida Four take a plea deal? The Florida Four are Janes’ Revenge defendants imprisoned for graffiti on “fake clinics” in Florida. Two spent 23 days in prison, one lost their trial and spend 120 days in prison, and one spent 178 days in prison. Learn from this case, but do not emulate the mistakes.

The South Florida Anarchist Black Cross recently implied that Gaby, the only defendant to go to trial, was the cause. In reality, their own members Amber and Anna are to blame.

Check out our recent post about SFL ABC’s fedjacketing of Gaby and doxxing her codefendant Caleb and several community organizations: https://kolektiva.social/@solidaritysfl/115194645082139683

They threw opsec out of the window:

1. Amber and Anna planned two of the graffiti incidents on iMessage including
legal names, rather than Signal

2. Anna saved an incriminating video on her phone for 8 months for the FBI to discover

3. Anna was advised to wipe her phone entirely but chose not to

Everything was planned on Signal with disappearing messages. All photos were wiped of their metadata, sent out with a communique, and then deleted — except for Amber’s and Anna’s text messages and this video. Their recklessness was the only hard (not circumstantial) evidence against the Florida Four. Keeping incriminating evidence and using unencrypted messaging platforms in violation of group agreements to do otherwise is not keeping your comrades safe.

Caleb is the only codefendant to remain silent, other than filling out the intake paperwork (such as his social security number, date of birth, etc)

1. Amber spoke to the FBI about the location of one of the graffiti incidents

2. Anna also spoke to the FBI rather than remain silent

“Snitching is sharing anything at all. We never know how information is used by the Feds, be it for further investigations or for convicting someone in court.”

Did Amber snitch by confirming that they had been to Winter Haven? As this was a conspiracy charge, any one person’s guilt can be used against the other defendants. Did Rivers snitch by saying that she did not know Caleb? The FBI repeatedly threatened to charge her with Obstruction of Justice for allegedly lying unless she flipped.

The FBI pulled historical cell tower records, showing Caleb, Anna, and Amber brought their phones to do the graffiti

These records are highly technical but show that all three were at the graffiti incidents that they were accused of. Bringing your phone to a direct action is not keeping yourself nor your comrades safe, even if you talk about it beforehand and decide that it’s worth the risk. The FBI had no cell tower data on Gaby’s phone.

There were hundreds of known Janes’ Revenge styled actions nationwide, likely thousands more unreported. Only 9 people nationwide got caught because they made mistakes. None of these mistakes were malicious, including Gaby’s. Therefore, there were no snitches, no matter what SFL ABC claims.

Instead of doxxing community members, of fedjacketing political prisoners, of doing the State’s work for them with movement wrecking misrepresentations, this case should have been an educational opportunity to demonstrate how things can go wrong, with devastating consequences. We are heartbroken that the South Florida Anarchist Black Cross, including codefendants Amber and Anna, made the decision to do otherwise.

Amber and Anna can’t seem to stop harming their community!

Amber and Anna’s mistakes cost all four codefendants their freedom. It was only luck that they didn’t use the fifth person’s name in those messages. Along with SFL ABC, they chose to further this harm by doxxing Caleb, the only codefendant who did not speak to the FBI and the one that served nearly 8 times as long in prison as they did, as well as fedjacket Gaby, who served nearly 5 times as long as them.

“I was at Gaby’s trial. The entire trial was evidence from Anna’s phone. No one from SFL ABC showed up to witness for themselves the consequences of their recklessness.”

LEARN FROM THIS CASE!!!

Don't bring your phone to direct actions.

Anyone you have organized or intend to organize direct action with, speak entirely on encrypted platforms like Signal with disappearing messages on, even for unrelated stuff.

Support political prisoners even when their mistakes result in convictions.

When suspicions arise, investigate. Allow the evidence to discern if someone is a snitch/informant/infiltrator or not, rather than paranoia, reputation, or interpersonal conflict.

Whenever any law enforcement asks you a question, reply: I wish to speak to an attorney, I am choosing to remain silent.*

*In some instances, it is required or can deescalate a situation to identify yourself
