This Day in History June 29, 2021: Environmental Activist Charged with “Domestic Terrorism”



On June 29, 2021, environmental activist and member of the Catholic Worker movement Jessica Reznicek was sentenced to eight years in federal prison for “domestic terrorism” for acts of civil disobedience and property damage intended to stop the completion of the Dakota Access Pipeline. She initially faced over 100 years in prison for her civil disobedience — which harmed no one — and is now due to be released in 2029.
