Justice for Everard Walker! Fire and throw Hartford Pig Alexander Clifford in prison for murder!
On Thursday February 19th, 53-year-old Everard Walker was murdered by Hartford Pig Alexander Clifford during a response to a 211 mental health call. His family didn't want the pigs to show up, they wanted mental health professionals, they wanted Everard to see a doctor. Read through to learn about what happened and how local news media continues to play a role in vilifying victims of police brutality!
Chris Yarmolovich: Wanted for Abuse and Sexual Harassment. Join us this Friday @2pm in New Britain’s Central Park for a rally to expose this abuser! In December 2025 we learned from a homeless woman, who we met and organized a protest in support of after a local shelter kicked her out, that Chris Yarmolovich had abused her during and after their relationship earlier that year.
What she told us appeared to fit into a broader pattern of misogyny from Chris Yarmolovich. Finally in mid-March 9 Dare to Struggle members and supporters confronted Chris Yarmolovich outside the New Britain Public Library. He retaliated by sending pictures of our cars in the parking lot and harassing a women we work with over WhatsApp the next day.
The legal system has never protected women or punished abusers, join us on Friday to expose and run this abuser out of town!
We fought our charges and beat the state of Connecticut! Last week on 4/29, the state dropped their charges against the 3 DtS activists arrested at their homes days after protesting against a gentrifying business in New Britain! After dragging us through 6 court dates over 9 months, the state finally motioned to nolle the charges (drop the charges but could decide to re-open the case over the next 13 months). We said either drop the charges completely or take us to trial, and they moved to drop the charges completely.
From the start this has all been about intimidating activists for their first amendment right to protest and to expose all the rotten shit going on right now in New Britain, from the unchecked brutality and murder done by New Britain PD to the moves being made by the city to gentrify the downtown area and mistreat homeless people. We made it very clear from the jump that we will not accept their bs charges and will be settling for nothing less than a full acquittal. We are now moving to sue the city and New Britain PD for violating our first amendment rights.
If you are facing repression and want support, hit us up!
We are sad to announce that our People’s Tribunal to Convict ICE, originally scheduled for this Saturday, May 9, is canceled.
While ICE and their allies who stand in the way of protest against them deserve to be put on trial and convicted for their crimes, our chapter is not currently able to put together a tribunal.
Still, ICE thugs continue to terrorize people across the country. Killer cops with bloody badges still prowl the streets. Gentrifiers are still driving the homeless and poor out of cities to make way for the rich. Although we’re canceling this tribunal, we will continue to combat all forms of oppression and injustice alongside those directly impacted.
Come to our popup shop and help us raise funds for the Dare to Struggle national conference in New Mexico this summer!! Stop by and browse our items and talk to us about how to get involved. We’ll be out front of the Rec Center on UConn Storrs campus Thursday, 4/30 from noon to 4pm!
All out for this key hearing! Wed. April 29th, meeting at 1:30pm! We expect to see if this case will be dismissed for good. The NB3 were arrested on August 5th 2025 for protesting the Assembly Room, a local gentrifier and anti homeless business. We believe arrests were also made to stop us from protesting the police. We need numbers in the court room. Show them we’re watching, and let’s get this win against repression of homelessness protest! Check out our short recap video on our page for what happened last time when we grilled the Detective Thai Tran, the detective who signed our warrant, when he took the stand as a witness for the State, and other infuriating facts about the case.
Pack the court! Tomorrow at 2pm in New Britian.��On Monday, April 13th the New Britain 3 had their fifth day in court where the judge heard arguments about the motion to dismiss our charges.
State prosecutor Thai Chhay and Detective Thai Tran both admitted during arguments that there are false statements in the signed warrant used to arrest the 3 activists back in August of 2025. The justification for the arrests was because we said “fuck the pigs”, but in court our lawyers were able to show that this does not breach the peace nor did anyone file a complaint during or after our protest. Chhay changed his argument for the charges once it was determined that “fuck the pigs” is protected free speech; he now claims it was our use of a megaphone to say this message. Watch through our reel to get the full recap.
Our next court date is now this Wednesday, April 29th at 2pm. It was moved up from Monday, May 18th at the state’s request. We will be hearing whether Judge Jesse Giddings grants the motion to dismiss the charges, however we hope to hear his decision sooner so we don’t have to take off more work for a 6th court date.
MASS MEETING: Wednesday 4/22 @ 6:30pm. 30 Ashley Street, Hartford.
What’s next in our Spring Surge to Melt ICE campaign? The People’s Tribunal, May 9th @ 1PM!

Witnesses to these crimes will be able to speak out and testify against these pigs to reach a deliverable verdict. We can only put on an event like this with your help! Join us at this meeting so that we can determine who we can get to speak out and other details.

We met Tracy at a food pantry in Manchester who shared with us her story about losing her snap benefits. Listen to hear what she has to say. The government isn’t going to treat us right unless we demand they do and protest their cuts. Get connected with HLI and Dare to Struggle if you have recently lost your benefits and want to fight to get them back!
Pack the court! Tomorrow Monday at 2pm in front of New Britain superior court! Come support the 3 Dare to Struggle Activists facing bogus charges stemming from a protest against a gentrifying business discriminating against homeless people back in August 2025. They are fighting the charges until they get dropped, and it is important to support cases like these because these charges are an attack on anyone’s right to protest and other First Amendment activities.
Statement from Dare to Struggle on why we pulled out of tonights benefit show. As a political group that fights against all forms of oppression, especially patriarchy, this alleged behavior from the band Long Forgotten needs to be exposed.
