civdis_panelPresented by the star of “Victimless Crime Spree” and the host of Peace News Now, Derrick J Freeman – this panel will focus on perhaps the most controversial form of activism – civil disobedience and noncooperation. Is it “poisoning the well”? How do you stay cool under threat from aggressors? Come ask your question of this panel of experienced civ dis activists.

Keenevention is certainly not the first time a civil disobedience panel has been presented at a liberty gathering, but it is the first time in many years that Russell Kanning, one of the original movers to Keene, returns to the stage! Russell was instrumental in making Keene the destination for future waves of activists who would emulate his peaceful disobedience. Russell will be joined by another original Free State Project mover and liberty civil disobedience pioneer, Lauren Canario. Plus, Ademo Freeman, the founder of CopBlock will bring his expertise to the discussion. All of our panelists and the presenter have been arrested on multiple instances of civ dis and have spent time behind bars. Was it worth it? Come find out.
