Heron Greenesmith, Attorney at PRA
Extrajudicial political violence has long been a part of the history of the US from the colonial period to present, with violence used to steal vast swaths of land from indigenous peoples as well as enforce slavery on Africans. Even in the 20th Century the attack on African American communities like the white supremacist Tulsa race riot similar attacks. However the resistance to that violence has been ever present and movements like the civil rights movement and native American rights movements and the LGBTQI+ communities have used mass mobilizations to resist.
While the US government has internally been less blatant about the use of this violence there is a noticeable reversal of this stance. Since the January 6th 2021 attempted coup at the Capitol, the rising tide of rightwing insurrectionist violence has in some ways quickened and targeting of marginalized groups has again expanded to include the LGBTQ+ community. In recent weeks there has been a series of political and in somecases violent attacks on the LGBTQ+ community and its allies.
Among the topics we'll discuss tonight are the Colorado Springs massacre and the context of the massacre in the heart of one of the hotbeds of the white evangelical movement in the US . The attacks on Britany Griner's release by right-wing politicians and pundits on Fox News, and the recent conviction of 3 white supremacists in a plot to unleash race war by sabotage of electrical infrastructure. Here to discuss this topic with us is Heron Greenesmith, a policy attorney and Senior Research Analyst with Political Research Associates, a group that monitors the right wing, based in Boston.
