I’ve just relocated from Philly to DC, and I’m going to wrangle the funds that will power our movement forward. The powers that be depend on our willingness to play into the fiscal system that enslaves us, and I want to give you the tools to give the movement the momentum it needs to succeed. We are all possessed of enormous potential, and we are at a critical turning point. Every penny that we spend to impede their process is a step in the right direction. It’s high time we threw their currency back at them in a way that powers the cause. And that’s what I’m here for. I’m be giving 110% to keep the wheels here rolling, and I hope you’ll help me in this endeavor.
Greetings From Liz!
Greetings!
My name is Liz, and I’m the new Developmental Director here at ADAM VS THE MAN. I’ll be handling our interactive subscription content and money-making endeavors. Don’t like the way I’m doing my job? Feel free to make suggestions! I welcome your input.
I was born and raised in upstate NY, and I relocated to Philadelphia after a short stint in college, which I quickly decided wasn’t for me- I much prefer alternative education. I spent several years working for major nonprofits as a fundraising contractor- most notably the American Red Cross and Greenpeace. I have organizing experience doing grassroots and coalition work as well.
I became disgusted with working for the bad guys, and left the industry after having to fire too many intelligent, activated people for the wrong reasons. To this day, I feel that the model of canvassing that these corporations created were specifically designed to mislead and discourage young activists. My motto from those days has stuck, though: “Encourage, Empower, Inspire”. I’ve spent the past couple years in event planning, performance and stage management, but I’ve decided it’s time to devote my energies entirely to this movement.

Adam Kokesh arrested for illegal use of a microphone.
On the Eighteenth of May 2013 Adam Kokesh was giving a speech at “Smoke Down Prohibition V”, which was an event where marijuana users gather across from Independence Hall in Philadelphia, PA to consume marijuana in an act of civil disobedience. This is the fifth such event and at all of the four prior smoke downs individuals gathered peacefully, consumed large quantities of marijuana, and were not disturbed by the police. This event would be much different, as the police chose to escalate the situation by violently assaulting multiple individuals and even resulting to kidnapping two of the event’s speakers. Adam Kokesh was giving the final speech to the crowd and before you could properly finish a Parks Police and Fish and Wildlife officer grabbed Adam (who had yet to engage in cannabis reflection that day) and took him while with the microphone still in his hand. Adam was taken away to a local Philadelphia jail and then was moved to Federal Detention Center Philadelphia where he would spend right under a week locked in a cage for not committing a crime. Adam was charged with Resisting, Obstructing, or Assaulting a Police Officer (Felony) and Resisting Arrest(Misdemeanor). Our video clearly shows that the officer approached Adam from the rear and it is very clear that Adam did not assault the officer in any way, shape, or form. Adam has turned his legal defense fund into a legal attack fund and will be seeking just compensation from the state for illegally kidnapping him without just cause. Watch the video posted below and as always stay tuned to AVTM.
