Alex Stokes, an antifascist community organizer and artist, was sentenced to 20 years for engaging in community defense. He stopped Proud Boys during the J6 insurrection in New York from beating someone senseless with flag poles.

You can listen to his story in this critical @igd_news ep: https://itsgoingdown.org/this-is-america-180/

Got our first reply in the mail today!

First lesson learned that we can pass along: NY DoCCS doesn't accept postal money orders for inmates. They have to be sent to JPAY, payable *to* JPAY, with the inmate's name and DIN in the memo section.

Alex Stokes is a Jewish Antifascist and independent journalist from Albany New York. Stokes received a 20 year sentence for his role in a melee which occurred at the Albany state capitol during the January 6th insurrection, harsher than any of those received by the actual insurrectionists who tried to overthrow the US government. It is critical to show support for Alex and demand that the state hear his appeal, reduce his charges or even pardon him.

Stokes received a 20 year sentence for his role in a melee which occurred at the Albany state capitol during the January 6th insurrection. This sentence is significantly harsher than any of those received by the actual insurrectionists who tried to overthrow the US government. It is critical to show support for Alex and demand that the state hear his appeal, reduce his charges or even pardon him, rather than allowing a trial judge with apparent far right sympathies to make an example of him and destroy his life.
