Fairfax criminal and DWI lawyer Jonathan Katz heard Abbie Hoffman's lawyer Gerald Lefcourt speak in 1991 about how Abbie had asked Gerry to keep Hoffman out of jail so that he could keep pursuing his agenda. At that moment, Jon wondered whether he had missed the boat on the days of defending activists. Nine years later, Jon teamed with Ramsey Clark to defend the Plowshares 4 at their 2000 criminal jury trial following their action against depleted uranium, and Ramsey mentioned there being plenty of interesting activists to defend when doing so for free.
Thanks to Plowshares and Catholic Worker activist Mark Colville of the Amistad Catholic Worker in New Haven for joining Jon in talking about his three Plowshares actions and resulting jury trials for two of them, and his Catholic Worker activities, including with Rosette Village.
Plowshares actions include admitting the defendants' actions, while arguing that the action should not be convicted any more than Underground Railroad activists should have been convicted. Mark presents great ideas for beating the prosecution through such approaches as keeping our eyes on the prize of winning no matter the seeming and actual hurdles along the way, pushing the envelope of advocacy as necessary, and working in community / teamwork.
Jon recommends donating to the Amistad Catholic Worker or any other Catholic Worker community, and/or the Rosette Village, helping homeless people.
