About Peppy and Krystal's case:

The case against Peppy and Krystal (US v. DiPippa et al.) arose out of an April 18, 2023, demonstration against a University of Pittsburgh-sanctioned event promoting hatred toward transgender people and communities, featuring notorious transphobes Brad Polumbo and Michael Knowles on the question "should transgenderism be regulated by law?"

While Krystal has been released while awaiting trial, Peppy has remained imprisoned since his arrest in June of 2023. Highlighting the overtly political nature of the case, the government has justified the need for Peppy's pretrial imprisonment by citing possession of a zine on anarchism, a Stop Cop City pamphlet, and the judge's conclusions that he holds "sentiments supporting anarchism."
