San Diego Activist Needs Your Support

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to consider helping our dear friend Alex- we truly appreciate it.

Alex has been a constant presence in San Diego activism, spending their time and money helping marginalized folx both domestically and across the border. Their entire life has been uprooted: Alex has recently been targeted by SDPD for counter-protesting a march that was attended by violent far-right extremists in January 2021. That day, the police looked on and did nothing while known hate group affiliates terrorized community members in Pacific Beach. Now, SDPD is using the events that happened that day as leverage to retaliate against Alex and other leftist activists who are outspoken about police accountability in our communities.

Early in the morning of December 2nd, nearly a year after the counter-protest, Alex’s home was raided. The police seized their property and violated their peace. This experience has been emotionally and financially devastating for Alex. SDPD should be investigating the far-right extremists who purposely brought violence to Pacific Beach on that day in January. Instead, they are abusing their power and exploiting the justice system by targeting leftist activists who openly criticize their illicit behavior. This is police terror.

Alex’s friends and family are asking for your help in providing funds to help Alex get their life back in order. Funds will be given directly to Alex for bail expenses, new housing costs, and to alleviate some stress from the loss of their job. The tyrannical acts of SDPD have taken a toll not only on Alex, but on the entire community that they selflessly serve. Let’s come together to help one who has helped so many.

Much love,

The friends, family and community members supporting Alex Jacobs
