CT cops kill, brutalize, harass, and arrest ordinary people all the time and face no real consequences. What are you gonna do about it?

If you’re ready to seriously fight back against police brutality, come to our meeting next week and get involved in O22, the National Day of Protest Against Police Brutality.

It starts at 6pm on Thursday, October 15. We’re meeting at 30 Ashley St in Hartford. Hit us up to let us know you’re coming.

We will not stand for this disrespect and inaction from Springfield City Council, President Tracye Whitfield, or Mayor Sarno. How dare they try to tell us Tony’s life doesn’t matter enough for them to take immediate action.

These videos are from when we showed up at city council again on Monday, Sept 21st.

If this enrages you as much as us, hit us up as we make plans to put more pressure in every way possible. Don’t let them get away with murder and cover-up.

6pm TODAY in SPRINGFIELD MA: We’re joining Tony’s loved ones to confront Springfield’s city council and demand they stop the cover-up of Tony’s death.

Springfield wants to charge Tony’s famliy over $1600 to see the body and dash cam footage from the night he died. The city should willingly release the footage. If city council claims that’s impossible, they can pay the fee for the family. No excuses.

DM us if you’re coming too.

Support a grieving family whose father was killed by cops! They’re facing homelessness after losing their housing and their car is broken. Funds will go directly to the family to pay for more hotel nights while they search for an apartment, help pay the security deposit when they find an apartment, help pay for a moving truck when they find a place they can move to, and cover any other costs they need to move and get back on their feet. Donate via our Venmo () or our Cash App ($DareToStruggleCT)

Also: if you have any leads on 1BR or 2BR apartments or are able to help the family find an apartment, DM us!

On Sunday 7/26 we gathered at Bushnell Park for a vigil to celebrate the life of Everard Walker. Hartford pigs killed Everard back in February 2026 after his family called 211 to ask for a mental health evaluation and help after he ran out of his medicaiton. 5 months later and there are still no consequences for Alexander Clifford (the pig that shot him) or the 211 operators who asked the police to come despite the family making it clear they didn’t want the police there.

We were joined by Ms. Valerie, whose son Steven Barrier died in Stamford PD custody back in 2019 after police ignored and mocked his pleas for medical attention. As she states, it’s important that we keep showing up and confronting those responsible for the deaths of our loved ones, until ALL families get justice.

FREE JOE GRITS! On July 27, 2026, a Bridgeport judge sentenced Joe Grits to 7 years in prison, suspended after 3. This sentencing came after a jury in May found him guilty of inciting injury and making threats to a police officer. Joe’s alleged “threats”? Instagram posts. Posts where he expressed his grief and anger after Bridgeport pig Yoon Heo murdered his friend Dyshan Best last year. Bridgeport wants to scare and silence people who fight on the front lines for these killer cops to face consequences. Joe isn’t a criminal, he is the target of political repression.

Bridgeport Judge Robert Golger sent Joe to jail without bond. We can’t let the appellate court go unchecked as they take their time.

FREE JOE GRITS! TAKE UP HIS APPEAL AND AQUIT HIM IMMEDIATELY!
FIRE ERIN PERROTTA AND YOON HEO!
THROW THESE KILLER COPS IN PRISON!
JUSTICE FOR DYSHAN BEST!

On Saturday, July 11th Springfield, MA pigs needlessly and recklessly chased 26 year-old Tony Castillo on his motorcycle causing the crash that took his life.

The incident came just weeks after Springfield Mayor Sarno, the DA, and state and local police launched a “multi-agency enforcement initiative” to “crack down” on gatherings.

They have Tony’s blood on their hands. Justice for Tony Castillo!

SUNDAY 7/26 4:30pm: VIGIL FOR EVERARD WALKER @ BUSHNELL PARK

Hartford police murdered Everard Walker in February. Five months later, there is still no justice. Alexander Clifford, one of the pigs who invaded Everard’s home, shot and killed him inside the apartment, in front of his family. He still hasn’t been fired. He still hasn’t been charged with murder. He still hasn’t been thrown in prison where he belongs. While Everard’s family reels from this devastating loss, the murderer with a badge walks free. Everard should still be here today! Alexander Clifford should face real consequences for stealing Everard’s life!

We’re joining Everard’s family on Sunday, July 26 at 4:30pm for a vigil honoring him. We’ll be setting up at Bushnell Park in Hartford. Bring green or white candles.

Yesterday Dare to Struggle went out to the corner of Park Street in Hartford to spread the word about Viva La Huelga, a national day of protest we called to support the resistance of immigrants on hunger strike at multiple ICE detention centers.

7 of our chapters across the country protested at their nearest ICE detention center to support those on the inside and echo their demands: shut these death camps down! Resistance is spreading, led by the immigrants being kept in detention centers around the country. This is the direction the fight against ICE needs to go and it is on us on the outside to fan the flames.

We met people upset by ICE’s presence in Hartford who want the kidnappings to end. Next we want to travel to the nearest detention center—Wyatt in Central Falls, Rhode Island—to connect with people detained and their families, and eventually call for a protest there as well.
