The Resistance Conspiracy case was a political prosecution starting in 1985 in which seven anti-imperialist activists were charged with targeted bombings from 1983-1985. The military sites bombed were the National War College at Fort McNair, the Washington Navy Yard Computer Center, and the Washington Navy Yard Officers Club, the Staten Island Federal Building, the Israeli Aircraft Industries Building, the South African consulate, and the offices of the Patrolman's Benevolent Association. The seven activists charged were Marilyn Buck, Linda Evans, Susan Rosenberg, Timothy Blunk, Alan Berkman, Laura Whitehorn, and Elizabeth Duke.Credit for these attacks between 1983 and 1985 was taken by an anti-imperialist clandestine organization called the Armed Resistance Unit. The claimed actions were against symbols of U.S. imperialism, and caused extensive property damage but warning phone calls ensured that no one was injured. Members of the Armed Resistance Unit took an anti-imperialist stance against systems of inequality, oppression, and white supremacy and asserted these actions were carried out to protest US foreign aggression: the invasion of Grenada; the US role in Nicaraguan arming the Contra army; supporting  dictatorships in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras; the colonization of Puerto Rico since 1898; support of the Israeli occupation of Palestine; support of apartheid in South Africa; and police brutality and anti-Black racism in the United States. The Resistance Conspiracy defendants were longtime activists who supported the struggles for civil rights, Black liberation, revolutionary anti-imperialism, and the liberation of women. Their internationalism advocated for human rights and self-determination for all oppressed nations. The conspiracy charges  were for using illegal means to influence, change, and protest policies and practices of the US government. The government admitted that there was no direct proof that the individual activists were involved in the bombings, rather used conspiracy charges to convict them. Six of the seven activists served lengthy prison sentences and have since been released.  Elizabeth Duke fled before trial and remains a fugitive. Alan Berkman was paroled after 8 years in prison and later died in 2009.
