Jessica Rae Reznicek (born July 25, 1981) is a climate activist from Iowa.

On June 29, 2021, she was sentenced to eight years in federal prison for a series of "attacks" on the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Climate Action ≠ Terr0rism

In 2016, Jessica Reznicek took action to stop the construction of Dakota Access Pipeline by dismantling construction equipment and pipeline valves. In 2021 she was sentenced to 8 years in prison with a domestic terr0rism enhancement. In 2022 an appeals court upheld her conviction writing that even if the terr0rism enhancement was an error it was "harmless".

Under normal conditions Jess would have been sentenced to 37 months, but the terrorism enhancement resulted in a sentence of 96 months. Via supportjessicareznicek.com

By November 2016, she had been a part of the Catholic #workermovement, the #Plowshares movement, and other Catholic-activist movements for more than a decade.

She participated in protests around the world, and was deported from Israel after helping Palestinians plant olive trees in occupied lands. Via Wikipedia [edited]

"Reznicek opposed the #DakotaAccessPipeline and in the spring of 2016 she began walking and hitchhiking to Standing Rock Reservation to join in the protests against it. Her involvement included locking herself to the construction equipment used to excavate the pipeline route. In the process of her protest, she was arrested several times. In August 2016, Reznicek blockaded a road construction workers were using to bore a hole underneath the Mississippi River. She was arrested later that day and spent the night in jail. After being released, she blocked the road again and spent another night in jail. On the third day, she set up camp on adjoining land where others joined her in the following weeks."
