8 of the federal defendants who were sentenced to outrageously long terms are ALSO a part of a larger group of defendants fighting state terrorism charges. In total 20 people are still fighting various state charges. 6 defendants' have trial dates set in the next 3 to 6 months. While appealing their unjust federal verdicts and sentences, these 8 defendants will also have to fight their state cases in Johnson County. We still need good state lawyers to fight these cases so continue to donate to the legal fund, host fundraisers, and spread the word about the case. One of the state defendants, Janette Goering, wrote a statement about the sentencing of the federal defendants. Here is her statement:Graphic with first part of Janette’s statement.Graphic with second part of Janette’s statement.

9 defendants are awaiting sentencing, and receiving positive letters will emphasize their importance to the community, hopefully resulting in lighter sentences.

If you're new to protesting, do not be intimidated by the forms of surveillance and harassment that police and federal agents use to try to keep us afraid. The more people take the streets, the safer it is for all of us. Quietism and submission are the most dangerous of all. crimethinc.com/opsec

Echoing this sentiment on the value and non-value of No Kings protests

Hate Free Tennessee @hatefreetennessee.bsky.social · 22/03/2026
HFT is actively encouraging "black bloc" attire for anyone who chooses to attend the No Kings protests on March 28. History has proven bloc to be an effective protest tactic that simultaneously protects our anonymity and promotes our solidarity.
CALL FOR NO KINGS BLOC:

What is bloc?

Black Bloc is the practice of dressing in nondescript clothing that covers identifiable features. Concealing our identity provides many advantages during protest: it prevents doxxing by agitators and shields ourselves against surveillance which can be used against us in court, even when our actions are fully legal. When several people act in bloc together, it also provides a shared anonymity between protestors, which in turn protects all of us.  

Solidarity with the Prairieland defendants:

A federal trial in Fort Worth, Texas has led to protestors being charged with “material support for terrorism.” The FBI presented the protestors’ use of “black bloc” as evidence of criminal intent. This is a blatant suppression of political dissent. The administration’s attempt to associate bloc with criminal activity is merely a strategy to justify arrest of innocent people exercising their freedom of expression. We must stand in solidary with the defendants, stand up for our right to dissent, and show the people that wearing protective gear is not a crime. 

In response we say:

NO FASCISM. NO KINGS. 
TOGETHER WE WEAR BLOC ON THE STREETS. 

We stand in solidarity with the Prairieland defendants and with political prisoners everywhere! 


NO KINGS III.  MARCH 28.  10AM.  WASIOTO PARK

The Prairieland verdict is a reminder not to count on the courts to stop the rise of fascism. This case is intended to set a precedent enabling the government to suppress all forms of resistance. It must not discourage us from fighting as hard as we can against them. Fighting is our only hope.

The intent of these show trials is to staunch any dissent. The goal is to strike fear in activist communities so that people stop organizing. It works, but only when the population allows it to work. When the population doesn’t stand up to defend dissent. When the population stays quiet. 🦗 🦗 🦗

It's about time we introduce ourselves. Here is a glimpse of our Principles of Unity. Hate Free TN believes in: (1/4) No hate in our world /// We stand against all forms of oppression, and acknowledge that to stand against oppression we must be staunchly anticapitalist.
No Hate in Our World: Our mission, first and foremost, is to make a stand for the empowerment and equality of everyone who faces the threat of oppression, starting from the scale of our local community and extending towards global coalitions against tyranny. The Trump administration may embody the worst of America's hatred, but this regime was only made possible through the excesses of capitalism that fueled their rise in the first place. History proves that bigotry and oppression are inevitable results when profit is valued over people, and that is not a system that could ever be redeemed. We therefore aim to confront such hatred at its source, and to bring an end to capitalism for the sake of humanity itself. Yet even this ambition is only the beginning. Fascist ideals of total wealth control, generational indoctrination, and domination along lines of race, gender, and/or nationality still exist in trade relations that power Western imperialism. Our continuous struggle against these cruelties provides a foundation for resistance, and allows us to build the experience, resources, and connections that will he necessary in bringing revolution to the global stage.
