"Inside the World of Luigi Mangione’s Most Fervent Supporters" by Lorena O’Neil
"While some activists like Eva have used Mangione’s likeness to amp up support for causes they’d already been focused on, there are others who’ve come to activism purely by way of his case, like Amelia, who asked to use an alias. An accountant in her mid-forties, Amelia founded Luigi’s Legal Fund Bookshop; proceeds of the sales of her books go toward Luigi’s legal fund. She also encourages online visitors to buy books and send them to established books to prison programs.”
