Hi I’m Gavin Seim
I’m a filmmaker, activist, refugee, and Human Rights lawyer.
I was a candidate for US Congress as well as an author of the Declaration of Affirmation, during the I WILL NOT COMPLY 2A protests of 2014 and the largest Felony civil disobedience in US history. In 2016, I was involved in the Oregon Refuge standoff to help keep the message on air as the final four were trapped by FBI agents.
I am a man without a faction because I believe all people deserve life, liberty, and due process. In recent years, I have been working to support the rights of immigrants and refuse the idea that travel can lawfully be restricted by the government. The left has called me a terrorist for defending ranchers’ rights, and the right has called me a criminal for defending immigrants. The truth is, we fight the same fight and have been divided using targeted tactics.
I am well known for my street activism, like pulling over police and standing up to corrupt judges. I have been called the father of auditing by today’s most prominent police activists. But our fight comes with a cost. With increasing police abuse and facing false charges and jail in 2017, my family was no longer safe. I loaded up what I could carry, and we headed south of the border. The message continues, that message is that we must not submit to tyranny in any form,.
One voice can change the world. Resist.
