- Black activists fight convictions for conspiring to aid Russian propaganda efforts
Four Black activists, including members of the African People’s Socialist Party and a Georgia-based group called Black Hammer, were convicted of conspiring to act as unregistered Russian agents. They argue their political speech and protests were protected by the First Amendment, while prosecutors claim they spread Russian misinformation and received funds from a Russian-linked organization.
