Who Gets Justice

In some ways, Sean Kealiher’s homicide has remained a mystery because people closest to him have long declined to talk publicly about what happened the night he was killed. 

For the first time ever, two antifascists who were with Sean the night of his homicide tell their side of the story.

Life Is Cheaper

The uprising of Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 swept the country. 

As many as 1 in 10 adult Americans attended a protest. They got a taste of the world Sean Kealiher had been inhabiting for years before he was killed. 

And in Portland, the culture war over race and politics would turn deadly.

Summer 2020

Ani Raven is a longtime activist and community radio host in Portland. 

She was also one of Sean Kealiher’s mentors when he joined the Occupy movement at 15 years old. 

In 2011, Raven met Sean at the camps that Occupy protesters had set up in Portland city parks. 

In this episode, released on the two-year anniversary of Sean’s killing, Raven discusses how she watched Sean grow as a young activist, and start to lead people in the street.

Dying for a Fight | Portrait of a Young Anarchist: An Interview with Ani Raven

After Sean Kealiher was killed, his mother Laura was subjected to brutal harassment from conservative trolls at her home and online—and it was Sean’s antifascist friends who provided her security, not the Portland police. 

Meanwhile, we ask the former head of police detectives in Portland why there has been no progress in solving Sean’s homicide.

It’s Personal

When Sean Kealiher and his friend Micah Fletcher began confronting racists in their community, neither one could have predicted the consequences. 

In 2017, Micah would nearly lose his life when he was attacked on a Portland train as he defended two teenage girls from a racist tirade. 

Now, he reflects on how he was lauded as a hero while his friend Sean was treated as a thug for doing the same things.

This Isn't a Game

Oregon’s long history of racism was what brought Sean Kealiher and so many protesters like him to the streets. 

The fights between anti-racist skinheads and neo-Nazis in the 80s and 90s set the stage for Portland to found America’s first official Antifa chapter. 

And Laura Kealiher says the way police are intertwined with those past fights makes her skeptical they will ever solve Sean’s homicide.
