In this interview, MN15 defendant Emmett Doyle describes the raids and indictment against anarchists in the Twin Cities, as well as thoughts on the case, Metro Surge, and supporting arrestees. Emmett says that the raids are primarily about punishing people for their anti-authoritarian political beliefs, and making an example out of them in order to intimidate the rest of the community. He says that he has faith in his codefendants but that the important thing is to make sure everyone has the support they need to remain resilient under state pressure. He says the most important thing people can do, beyond donating to the legal defense fund or holding solidarity actions, is to remain involved and resistant to ICE terror and keep standing with the immigrant communities and those who have been put in ICE camps or deported.

Posting this to raise awareness about the repression of anarchists.

This is a song by one of the Minnesota 15 defendants, Emmett Doyle, written days before the raids that swept up the codefendants of that case.

Emmett, one of the MN15 defendants, is a carpenter and until recently a salt for his union. Following his arrest, he lost his job and resigned from his salting position for the good of the campaign. He's currently between jobs, has no income, and is getting ready to return to work as his support structure comes together. He released Mother Anarchy, an album of translated anarchist works from several languages with a few originals, just before May Day this year. Buying the album is a great way to help him make ends meet while he gets his life back together and prepares to face the ordeal that the regime is putting him and his friends through.
