Peter Gelderloos (born 1981 or 1982) is an American anarchist activist and writer.

Biography

In November 2001, Gelderloos was arrested with 30 others for trespass in protest of the American military training facility School of the Americas, which trains Latin American military and police. He represented himself in court and was sentenced to six months in prison. Gelderloos previously organized a student rally against the Iraq War and was a member of a copwatch program in Harrisonburg.

In April 2007, Gelderloos was arrested in Spain and charged with disorderly conduct and illegal demonstration during a squatters' protest. He faced up to six years in prison. He claimed that he was unfairly targeted for his political beliefs. He was acquitted in 2009.

He is known among anarchists for his 2005 book, How Nonviolence Protects the State.
