Black Lives Matter 99 Trial Fees

This year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, eleven white queers and Jews were arrested for protesting the countless murders of unarmed Black people by police officers and vigilantes. The city has continued to prosecute those protesters, offering a plea deal of five days in jail. A federal judge recently ruled that Seattle's protest permit ordinance is unconstitutional and cannot be enforced or used to prosecute “persons engaged in expressive speech.” The city is moving forward with their case against the 11 protesters anyway--violating the Federal injunction-- in a politically motivated effort to suppress the Black Lives Matter movement in Seattle.

Regardless of the outcome of the trial, each of the defendents is paying a personal price. A cloud of uncertainty hovers over their heads as they await the legal proceedings to conclude.

As a supporting community we could help! The trial fees are yet another cost that we could take off of their shoulders.
