Our friend and neighbor, Lindsey Knapp, is a dedicated advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, veterans, and survivors of violence, is now fighting a deeply personal battle. After publicly sharing texts and audio recordings surrounding the suspicious death of her brother, Navy veteran "Uncle Jimmy," and his warnings about the Ku Klux Klan, Lindsey is now being sued for defamation.

Jimmy, who once showed up in a rainbow tutu to protect a local drag event from threats, died just weeks after expressing concern for his safety and taking out a protective order. Despite repeated efforts, law enforcement has declined to investigate.

Now, Lindsey is asking for help — not just for legal support, but to protect the right to speak truth to power.
