Paula Iasella
2024 Honoree | Activism & Organizing, Assange Defense Boston & DC Action For Assange
Paula joined the Assange movement in March of 2018 that was when Julian's internet was cut off at the embassy
She was brought in on the “Reconnect Julian” Campaign which was run through Unity4J in 2018 2019, helping to amplify Global action.
October 2020 through 2024 she has been organizing with the Boston area Assange defense which she began with Susan McLucas.
In 2020, she helped organize actions with action for Assange and DC - not just 2020.
She also is the reason why the vigils outside of Merrick Garland's house were taking place.
She was doing those pretty much solo there for a while, and then we got the DC Group started. They took over those, but she's solely responsible for the beginning of those.
She also created one of the most important resources for all Assange activists out there - The Assange Case evidence files. If you would like a copy of that, she'll send you that link for that. She created that in September of 2023 and it is a massive compilation information about the case and all of the things all the goings on all throughout it
From February through May of 2024 she also did the postcard and call campaign for house resolution 934
