Statement from RefuseFascism.org From Prairieland to All of Us: Unite to Defeat Fascist Political Repression:

"The decades-long sentences imposed on sixteen Prairieland defendants—including people who were not even present at the protest—mark a watershed moment in the Trump fascist regime’s use of the justice system to criminalize political dissent. RefuseFascism.org condemns their convictions and sentences and demands that they be overturned. We call on everyone with a conscience to demand this and defend the rights of protesters facing political prosecutions under Trump’s edicts and NSPM-7 – a fascist Trump presidential memorandum."
