Targeting White Supremacy


Jason Kessler is in the news today. He’s the organizer of last year’s “Unite the Right” fiasco—and the organizer of today’s white supremacy march.
Mr. Kessler is already paying a large legal price for his reckless actions. He is the lead defendant in Sines v. Kessler. 
The complainants are ten (10) people who allege that they were injured by white supremacists in Charlottesville.
To boil matters down, the defendants have already been ordered to produce many documents and records related to what is alleged to be a conspiracy among white supremacists to commit harm and to interfere with the civil rights of counter-protesters.
So are Richard Spencer, Christopher Cantwell, Jeff Schoep and other prominent white supremacists. See here https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=13081112698056758367&hl=en&as_sdt=6&as_vis=1&oi=scholarr.
The lawsuit is being aggressively pursued. For example, attorneys have uncovered a “Jane Doe” in California who operated an online account under the name of “kristall.night.” This seems to parrot the infamous attack on Jews that marked the start of the Holocaust. See https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=8187587846833622013&hl=en&as_sdt=6&as_vis=1&oi=scholarr.
I have been in touch with two attorneys who are leading this effort. They are highly experienced; and they practice in elite law firms in Washington D.C. and New York City. I have offered my research article on the Ku Klux Klan Act as support for their efforts. They both expressed interest.
The article is titled “Targeting White Supremacy in the Workplace.” It is a 2018 publication in Stanford Law & Policy Review.  It is summarized here, https://law.stanford.edu/publications/targeting-white-supremacy-workplace/.
