From Activists to Terrorists: How NSPM-7 Seeks to Use ‘Domestic Terrorism’ to Target Non-Profits and Activists
WATCH LIVE
Secret watchlists, digital surveillance, spurious investigations, and the “terrorist” label: The government is using increasingly dangerous tools to intimidate and criminalize activists and organizations President Trump considers “the enemy within.”
And the movement for climate justice is next.
In February, the FBI visited members of Extinction Rebellion NYC and Attorney General Pam Bondi said Climate Defiance is under investigation. This week, President Trump claimed, “Environmentalists are terrorists.”
This follows the signing of National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7), a new, terrifying federal blacklist targeting expansive categories of activists and organizations.
These were not the first groups to be targeted and they will not be the last.
Join us to hear from targeted activists facing down these threats, along with legal experts battling the government in court, to learn how we can–and must–work together to protect each other, protect our civil liberties, and protect our climate in the face of fossil-fueled authoritarianism.
