Political Prisoner profile: Brian DiPippa (Peppy)

Peppy is an anarchist serving 60 months after accepting a noncooperating plea agreement for conspiracy and obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder. The case against Peppy arose out of an April 18, 2023, demonstration against a University of Pittsburgh-sanctioned event that promoted hatred toward transgender people and communities. The speaking event features notorious transphobes Brad Polumbo and Michael Knowles, and posed the question, “should transgenderism be regulated by law?” It is important to note that in the affidavit for a search warrant, the FBI described their following of Peppy beginning a week before the April 18th protest–that is, a week before any allegation of any law being broken–on the pretext of having found a pamphlet about the movement to Stop Cop City in an unwarranted search of Peppy’s trash.
