No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

After the illegal taser was deployed Alex ran into the crowd still holding his coffee cup.He instinctively tried to help others.It's what good moral people do. He was never full of rage or hate. He just didn't want to see people get hurt. I grieve for Minnesota and organize locally. #freealexstokes
Alex sitting to the right of a campfire at night. He appears to be talking to someone to his left.

Robert Brooks should be alive. The verdict brought no justice—1 guilty, 2 not guilty—after a 31-minute killing caught on camera. Stand with his family + demand real safety. Join the statewide Day of Action: bit.ly/CNCNov182025 #CommunitiesNotCages
Robert Brooks with text that reads: Justice for Robert Brooks Communities Not Cages

Private prisons are bad, but they’re a small part of the system. Mass incarceration is driven by public policy & spending — choices made by YOUR elected officials. buff.ly/d6xDhyG

Alex has been in touch despite the current CO strike across NYS. He is holding up ok. Today is his birthday! You can write to him—although it will be a while before he gets it.

Alex Stokes, a left-wing activist and journalist from Albany, is the sole remaining January 6 prisoner. He didn't attack Congress—he got into a fight with Proud Boys at the NYS state capitol.
