During their hearings, they each pleaded not guilty to one count of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/obstructing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#obstructing</a> a public way. The rest of the group will appear in court at a later date, the protesters said."Jamila Levasseur, 70, of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaldoME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WaldoME</a>, was one of the 20 people arrested in Portland on May 21 after police accused them of blocking the intersection of Commercial and Pearl streets near the U.S. Custom House. She said at the time that she'd be arrested as many times as necessary to bring attention to the widespread <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/starvation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#starvation</a> and ongoing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Israeli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Israeli</a> airstrikes in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gaza</a>."When appearing at the stand, Levasseur told District Court Judge Jed French that she was 'protesting against <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#genocide</a> in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gaza</a>' before entering her not-guilty plea. She referenced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Netanyahu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Netanyahu</a>'s recent talks with President Donald <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a>, recognizing their joint strikes on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Iran" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Iran</a> and discussing plans for a 60-day <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ceasefire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ceasefire</a> that would halt Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza." 'Those are the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WarCriminals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WarCriminals</a>,' Levasseur said. 'We're not criminals.'"Levasseur said she couldn't have anticipated that the war would still be going on 21 months after it began. She said she's thankful that a group of attorneys stepped forward to represent the protesters for free, and that the May demonstration in the Old Port attracted a new, larger crowd of supporters." 'More and more people are waking up, learning what's going on, horrified, and want to do something,' Levasseur said. 'The people we were arrested with, I didn't even know them all when we were arrested. ... It's not the usual suspects. It's just more ordinary people.'"Levasseur and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbigailFuller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AbigailFuller</a>, 65, of Portland, were also arrested at a February 2024 protest on Franklin Street for obstructing a public way. Their charges in those cases have since been dropped."Fuller, who is also a lecturer at the University of Southern Maine, said she felt supported by the group of people outside the courthouse while walking into her arraignment. She pleaded not guilty and also told the judge she was protesting genocide when she was arrested." 'It feels good to be starting the process,' Fuller said. 'The Maine courts system takes a really long time, often, to get through, but this is the first step.'"Fuller said she appreciates seeing new faces at protests, especially as airstrikes and shootings in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaStrip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GazaStrip</a> continue, killing people attempting to receive <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanitarianAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HumanitarianAid</a>." 'Unfortunately, Palestinian deaths are not on the front pages of the newspaper anymore,' Fuller said. 'So, we're trying to keep that in the public eye.'
