From Puget Sound Anarchists
Puget Sound Prisoner Support (PSPS) is an anti-repression collective
based in Seattle. For 5+ years we have provided jail and legal support for
people who have been arrested at protests and demonstrations. We walk people through
the legal procedure of arrest, court proceedings, bail if necessary,
getting in touch with a lawyer also if necessary, and in general help
people understand a confusing legal system. We do not provide legal
support for people who get arrested for civil disobedience; rather, we
provide an “emergency service” for when participants of a protest or
demonstration get arrested. We offer a safety net for people to land in
when the unexpected happens and things go wrong. We’ve supported friends
and strangers alike, bailed people out, showed up at court proceedings
throughout trials, and helped with fundraising to cover legal costs. Our
major caveat is that we do not offer support to anyone who would
endanger our communities by way of cooperating with the police, the
courts or any other governing agency. No snitching, plain and simple.
