Ryan Clayton, of Americans Take Action, was taken into custody by DC police on Tuesday, October 24, 2017 and charged with Unlawful Conduct after exercising his right to Free Speech in the halls of Congress. Ryan threw small, Russian flags in the direction of President Trump as he walked in front of a crowd of reporters and chanted, “Trump is Treason, Trump is Treason.”

If convicted, Ryan could serve actual time in jail or be fined costly fees. The Trump Administration is attempting to use the police to make an example of Ryan, through egregious over-charging. He needs your help to secure the best defense to fight for his Constitutional rights and ensure that Donald Trump cannot persecute citizens for standing up and speaking out against him. He also needs to make sure that in the event he is fined, he is able to pay those fees to avoid jail time.

Your support will be used for his legal defense by securing the appropriate legal counsel and to pay any court costs associated with this case. This attempt to silence Ryan Clayton through the misuse of law enforcement and the judicial system is a risk to all of us - if Trump can silence Ryan, he could easily silence any of us.

Ryan spoke out for all of us who are fighting this Administration’s possible illegal actions through legal protest. Let’s help protect Ryan now. Thank you.
