As North Carolina rallies to support grand jury resistor, Katie Yow, it is vital to learn just what a grand jury is and what tools of resistance our communities have against them. This workshop is meant to demystify a legal process that relies on secrecy, paranoia and suspicion as methods to tear political resistance communities apart. One of our strongest weapons around this tactic of state repression is knowledge alongside bold acts of solidarity! Come hang out with us for a couple of hours, learn about grand juries and how you can support those who resist them in North Carolina and beyond.

This workshop is presented by Josie from Scuffletown Anti-Repression Committee. Josie has done movement defense work for almost a decade. They recently wrapped up long-term legal support and anti-repression organizing at Standing Rock, where they worked to resist the grand jury convened against Water Protectors. Currently they're working on J20 support and grand jury resistance support.
