Trial was officially continued to a later date! We’re also expecting a ruling on discovery-related litigation imminently. We expect to know more on both fronts soon. Therefore, the trial will not begin in May. When the new date is scheduled, we will post a new update. Thank you to everyone who planned to come for court support. We’re going to wind down those threads at the moment til needed. We hope everyone who was planning to travel to Pennsylvania (and new folks!) can join us later for in person court support when we have more information.

On October 19, 2024 Cara and Celeste were arrested and accused of freeing hundreds of mink destined for slaughter at a farm in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. This farm kills tens of thousands of minks every season. The Fur Commission USA has launched an aggressive media campaign targeting and doxing our friends. Cara and Celeste are charged with 14 felonies and misdemeanors, including ecoterrorism.

They spent three weeks in jail, held on $150,000 bail each. During this time, Celeste was held in solitary confinement and subjected to transphobic threats.

On November 7th, Cara and Celeste got out! They have both received so much support from friends, community, and supporters and will need more as they fight these unjust charges.

There are many ways you can join the fight! Donate to support legal, housing, and other living costs. Check out the support tab to learn more about how to support Cara and Celeste.
