AUG 29–31 · 2026 · WORLDWIDE SOLIDARITY WEEKEND
And it looked like this.
Cities across the world gave a weekend to a teenager they have never met. People painted signs at kitchen tables, stood on corners in the heat, filled sanctuaries, and put his name where it could not be ignored. Every picture on this page was taken by someone who was there.
§ THE RECORD OF IT
Sent in by organizers and supporters. Tap any frame to open it. More arrives as people send it — this page updates itself when it does.
§ THE MAP THAT LIT UP
Every city on the roster, drawn where it stands. The threads run back to the courthouse in McKinney, Texas. The weekend was the answer sent to it.
THE ROSTER
§ WHAT THIS WEEKEND WAS FOR
The weekend was never the finish line. On August 22 a judge denied Karmelo Anthony a new trial in a half-page order with no explanation, and the 35-year sentence stands. The appeal is now live before the Fifth District Court of Appeals in Dallas — out of the county that produced the jury. No argument date has been set.
What these photographs prove is that the movement did not need a ruling to show up, and will not need one to keep showing up. The letters keep going. The cities are still on the map. The next thing asked of you is smaller than a weekend and it matters just as much.
All actions are lawful, nonviolent, accessible, and locally compliant.
Never contact judges, jurors, witnesses, or court staff. Do not publish material that could interfere with the appeal.
