activist United States

Jessica Plichta, a 22-year-old preschool teacher from Grand Rapids, Michigan, gained media attention after her arrest during a live TV interview where she vocally supported Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. Identified as a member of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, a group advocating for Marxist-Leninist ideologies, Plichta's activism includes leading protests against U.S. policies and participating in anti-war demonstrations. Her arrest, framed by some media outlets as an example of police repression, illustrates the intersection of radical political movements and mainstream protest culture.
