Integrity First for America wound down operations in December 2022; click here to learn more. This is an archived website and Charlottesville case files will continue to remain available.

The Sines v. Kessler defendants are two dozen prominent white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and hate groups that planned, promoted, and executed the violence in Charlottesville. They came with clubs and shields, pistols and assault rifles, helmets and pepper spray — ultimately killing Heather Heyer and injuring dozens more, including our plaintiffs. They did not come to protest peacefully; rather, they came to provoke violence. Learn more about the defendants below.
