ADVOCACY
Defend the Truth.
The Commonwealth witnesses in the O'Keefe case told the truth. They were targeted, harassed, and abandoned by a media machine that chose a narrative over the facts. It's time to stand with them.
THE O'KEEFE CASE
What happened to the witnesses who told the truth?
John O'Keefe was a Boston Police Officer who died on January 29, 2022. The people who witnessed events that night cooperated with law enforcement and told the truth. For that, they became targets.
A coordinated campaign — amplified by a blogger with a financial stake in a particular outcome — subjected these witnesses to doxxing, harassment, and public destruction of their reputations. Their lives were upended. Their families were threatened. The mainstream press largely looked the other way.
Kate Peter was among the first journalists to document this campaign and stand publicly with the witnesses. Defending the Truth continues that work — providing legal support, advocacy, and a platform for those who refused to change their accounts to fit a preferred narrative.
