(#1) They Are Fighting The Opioid Crisis In Their Community
In July 2018, Juggalos were more than happy to welcome Bunk Police to their annual Gathering of the Juggalos. Bunk Police, founded by Adam Auctor, is a freelance drug-testing company that checks festival drugs for opioids like fentanyl. Auctor attended the festivities in Ohio, a state in the thick of the opioid crisis, and made sure the Juggalos' drugs were safe.
The Juggalos were happy to comply, wanting to make sure the party drugs were safe. While many people chastise drug users, the fact is people use them, and keeping people from using tainted drugs can save lives.
Auctor discovered one Juggalo dealer had cocaine laced with fentanyl, and the dealer was beyond distraught. Juggalos care deeply for their community, and they are not looking to make a quick buck at the expense of someone's life. When the dealer received the positive results, he was visibly shaken, threatening physical violence against the person who sold it to him.

(#7) Juggalos Organized A March On Washington In Response To Their FBI Gang Designation
When the FBI listed Juggalos as a gang in 2011, they became the only group of music fans in the country's history to be officially lumped together and treated as a mass of criminals. While it may sound unbelievable, the Juggalo gang designation has led to a host of real world issues for fans of the Insane Clown Posse. People take the FBI very seriously, and any affiliation with a gang can make it more difficult to be hired or even join the military.
In response to the FBI's decision, the Insane Clown Posse organized on march on Washington to challenge their gang designation and bring awareness to what they consider a civil rights issue, and it's one that is not being taken seriously enough. Thousands of clown-faced protestors descended on Washington to show their support for their extended family, outnumbering a pro-Trump rally that was held on the same day.

(#12) Juggalos Have A Complicated Relationship With The Law
While the Juggalos marching on the nation's capital aimed to show the softer side of the community, not all Juggalos are law-abiding citizens. As with any population, there are definitely some bad apples that have committed some insane crimes. Some of the worst cases involve murder, bodily mutilation, and even necrophilia.
Some Juggalos have even gone as far as acting out some of the more brutal lyrics of ICP songs, as two teenagers did when they hacked a wounded vet to death with a meat cleaver.

(#11) The ACLU Is Helping Juggalos Clear Their Name
Due to the civil rights and First Amendment implications of the FBI's unilateral decision, the issue has caught the rights of human rights advocates across the country. In January of 2014, the ACLU of Michigan, along with the two members of the Insane Clown Posse, jointly filed an official lawsuit against the federal government. The lawsuit aims to overturn the FBI's decision and allow Juggalos to freely express their love of ICP without the risk of legal consequences and financial consequences.
For the thousands of Juggalos and Juggalettes who want to openly celebrate their musical preferences without repercussions, this lawsuit might be their only hope.

(#5) The Community Accepts People From All Walks Of Life
Juggalos are a family, and ICP has been vehement in their support for people of color. The group has a very public record of being against racism, and they've even recorded multiple songs condemning bigotry. Lyrics from their song "Confederate Flag," a condemnation of racism, include "you get punched in your faces reppin' the racists" and reference a desire to violently murder members of the KKK.
In true ICP fashion, they go way over the top with their desire to punish racists, but the message is clear. If you mess with minorities, including members of the LGBT community, they will mess you up.

(#4) There Is A Juggalette Feminist Movement: Lette's Respect
Feminism in the world of hip-hop is still in its infancy, and the Juggalo community is no exception. For years, the hyper-sexualization of Jugalettes has overshadowed the talent and character of the women who support the Insane Clown Posse, but that is beginning to change in a big way.
A new movement, known as Lette's Respect, is aiming to create an atmosphere in the community where women can be celebrated for more than their physical appearance. The movement's founder, Rachel Paul, has already brought significant change to the annual Gathering of the Juggalos. She was able to rally support behind an effort to revamp Ms. Juggalette pageant - which was once hosted by Ron Jeremy and glorified degrading sexual acts - into a contest that celebrated talent and artistic expression among Juggalettes of all body types.
While there are some backwards-thinking Juggalos who oppose these changes, they are not enough to stop the coming wave of Juggalettes who are committed to fighting for equal treatment.
