Solidarity

Collective Resistance

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 05/03/2013 - 4:37pm

By David Roberts - one of the first 10 original members of the Georgia prison hunger strikers, currently captive in Jackson Prison.

We have now seen it on the news...Atlanta police attacked a man for "asking some questions!?"  They pepper sprayed the man and beat him, then 7 or 8 of them jumped on him and handcuffed him.  Looked exactly like another Rodney King thing to me!

Luckily an unafraid brother had his cell phone handy and videotaped the whole incident.  This happened a couple of weeks ago and hopefully the man's friends have retained a good attorney for him and with the videotape evidence, he should be back out there and waiting for his day in court with a lawsuit pending and some of those that beat him fired!

For anyone who chooses to resist the oppressive society we live in, prison is a real and imminent danger. Writing letters to prisoners not only helps to extend feelings of love and support to those who most need it despite the state's attempt to isolate them, it also helps to builds a network and culture of support that many of us may need in the future; a culture that realizes the humanity of political prisoners and the political nature of crime. It is easy, in our sheltered suburban worlds, to forget those who have forgone their liberty in a search for freedom, but letters can build connection between us and these rebels that will out last their cages and strengthen the cause of liberation on both sides of the states gray walls. On Thursday march 28th at 7pm, join others who want to build these bonds at the hamilton mill library for a letter writing party.

Reportback: Solidarity w/Egyptian Uprising

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 02/12/2013 - 9:31pm

Last week, on February 6th, roughly 30 solidarians met to show support with the anarchist and antiauthoritarian revolutionaries in Egypt and their ongoing struggle against the state which is being met with repression.

We met at the plaza in Little 5 Points around a banner and passed out leaflets explaining the situation in Egypt. The crowd happily socialized in the plaza for roughly 45 minutes.

An undercover police officer filmed the gathering and local Copwatchers approached the man with their cameras before the crowd marched toward Moreland Avenue. The demo circled around the neighorhood chanting anti-police and revolutionary slogans while blocking traffic before dispersing with no arrests.


Not one step back, comrades.

Chapel Hill, NC: Solidarity Attack Against Fraternity

Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 01/24/2013 - 1:12pm

(reprinted from War on Society Blog)

"On the night of January 13, we smashed out the front windows of the Chi Psi frat house, 321 Cameron Ave., Chapel Hill, NC. We did this for anyone who has ever been afraid to walk the streets of this town because of harassment for their body, gender, or sexuality. This fraternity was chosen at random. All fraternities are sites of conscious self-organization for patriarchal power and the homophobia that supports it. They exist to convert this power into real capital.

Solidarity with all those imprisoned or facing imprisonment for defending themselves against homophobic or transphobic violence."

In Love and Solidarity - Support Luke O'Donovan

Submitted by Atlanta Black Cross on Wed, 01/02/2013 - 4:32pm

It has been reported in the press that Luke O’Donovan, 19, went on a
“stabbing rampage” at a New Year’s Eve party in Reynoldstown, a
neighborhood in Atlanta, GA. This is not accurate. The events that
occurred were the result of Luke O’Donovan desperately defending himself
against a clear act of queer-bashing that included Luke being stabbed in
the back.

Some facts of the situation remain unclear, but the events that have been
reported thus far are inaccurate. Narratives have described Luke
O’Donovan, 19, as having returned to a house party that he had been kicked
out of. The reports state that Luke returned with a knife and stabbed one
person, and then 4 others who attempted to subdue Luke.

Athens, Greece Indymedia temporarily offline, as many unfounded rumors spread

Athens Indymedia temporarily offline, as many unfounded rumors spread

Update, 15.45 GMT+2: Athens IMC is online again.

For the past few hours, Athens Indymedia has been offline. During this time, unfounded rumors have been spreading online and on the ground, regarding a supposed raid of the physical space where the IMC server is located in Athens, or even raids in the houses of individuals involved in the project.

We can confirm that no physical raids have taken place and that Indymedia is offline because the internet connection to the server (in Athens Polytechnic) has been cut off. It is yet unclear if the disconnection is temporary or permanent, accidental or malicious.

More information as it comes.
