There's a broadening consensus by the ruling class -- whether the Labour party in the UK or the Trump admin in the US -- that the ancient right of juries constitutes an existential threat to their authoritarian aspirations. Now, more than ever, we need Jury Nullification.

Hey all, here's zine about how to do Jury Nullification canvassing and outreach.
It's easy to just tell people they can acquit as jurors, but our goal should be to effectively reach the right people AND get them successfully selected as jurors.

When people talk of war or "insurrection" as an excuse to violate rights, or to take away trial by jury, remember that such is always unjust.

The acquittals keep coming. Jurors are the last meaningful check within the justice system against out of control prosecution.

The wave of unanimous acquittals this administration has faced prove precisely that shared values in a community can be an effective bulwark against state power. Miller's complaint boils down to personal outrage that most jurors do not agree with the laws he is trying to impose.

The government said this man would "laugh behind bars" for towing the car of some officers engaged in a raid. A jury of his peers disagreed.

Can jurors apply their conscience when giving a verdict? Or must they only consider the evidence? And are the two even mutually exclusive? @nicolacutcher.bsky.social investigates, via a fossil fuel protest case.
Is it criminal for jurors to act on conscience?
Judges disagree on whether juries should consider evidence alone
