In the late 1960s, 1000s of communes bloomed throughout the country. The so-called Back to the Land movement sprouted from the confluence of the Flower Power counterculture and the growing insurrectionary rebellion in cities. It is sometimes forgotten that, while many of these new communards were hippie pacifists or religious seekers, many others were anarchists seeking a new road to revolution. For the most part, the anarchist communes grew from the urban projects of groups like Up Against the Wall Motherfucker and the Diggers, who left behind their free stores, crash pads, newspapers, and other anarchist projects to try their hand at farming and rural living. But contrary to the popular narrative, these anarchists did not abandon their hopes for an insurrection or sever their ties to urban rebellion, at least not immediately. For this discussion, I will share some of my research on anarchist communes like Black Bear Ranch, Cold Mountain farm, Red Clover, and Reality Construction Company. I will provide some historical context of these communes based on interviews and archival research and show a few rare(ish) film clips. After, we will discuss the conditions of possibility in the communes, their limits, and potentials for the current moment.

There are two suggested readings: 1) a short 1970 article by Allan Hoffman, “Earth/Life/Reclamation,” about the situation in the commune movement and 2) a long text from by Joyce Gardner, Cold Mountain farm, detailing her time at the titular commune in 1967. The first reading is great for an overview of the communes and to get an idea of what anarchists were thinking about them. The second is nice if you have time to dive deeper into the daily life of anarchist communes.

Virgil Addison researches and writes on anarchist and insurrectionary history. Like many would-be communards, Virgil Addison has no lived experience on rural communes.

Please join us for a discussion with Franco "Bifo" Berardi on his recent
book, "Breathing: Chaos and Poetry".

"Since the hopeful days of the Occupy movement, many things have changed
in the respiration of the world, and we have entered a cycle of spasm,
despair, and chaos. Breathing is a book about the increasingly chaotic
rhythm of our respiration, about the sense of suffocation that grows
everywhere. “I can't breathe.” These words panted by Eric Garner before
dying, strangled by a police officer on the streets of  Staten Island,
capture perfectly catching the overall sentiment of our time. In
Breathing, Franco "Bifo" Berardi comes back to the subject that was the
core of his 2011 book, The Uprising: the place of poetry in the
relations between language, capital, and possibility. In The Uprising,
he focuses on poetry as an anticipation of the trend toward abstraction
that led to the present form of financial capitalism. In Breathing, he
tries to envision poetry as the excess of the field of signification, as
the premonition of a possible harmony inscribed in the present chaos.
The Uprising was a genealogical diagnosis. Breathing is an essay on
poetical therapy. How we deal with chaos, as we know that those who
fight against chaos will be defeated, because chaos feeds upon war? How
do we deal with suffocation? Is there a way out from the corpse of
financial capitalism?"

Franco “Bifo” Berardi was the founder of the pirate radio station Radio
Alice in 1976. One of the most prominent members of the Italian movement
Autonomia, Berardi worked closely with the French psychoanalyst Félix
Guattari throughout the 1980s. Since the early 1990s, much of his
theoretical work has focused on the relationship between
psychopathology, information technology and capitalism.

His latest books in English are "Futurability: The Age of Impotence and
the Horizon of Possibility" (2017), "And: Phenomenology of the End"
(2015), "Heroes: Mass Murder and Suicide" (2015), and "The Uprising: On
Poetry and Finance" (2012).

Join us on June 2 at the Philippine Independence Day Parade in NYC. We’re calling on all freedom loving Filipinos and allies to: Stand for Philippine Sovereignty and Democracy in the Philippines! Fight For Human Rights!

Philippine independence is a history of resistance. Let us celebrate our collective people power and register our aspirations of freedom, democracy, and human rights in the Philippines! On June 2nd we’ll send a strong message that overseas Filipinos and the international community demand Duterte upholds our Philippine sovereignty, and we reject Duterte’s human rights violations, anti-people policies, and fascist dictatorship!

Ang tao, ang bayan, ngayon ay lumalaban!

- WHAT: Stand for Philippine Sovereignty and Democracy in the Philippines! Fight For Human Rights! (At the NYC Philippine Independence Day Parade)
- WHEN: Sunday, June 2, 10am - onwards
- WHERE: Assembly point on Madison Ave. TBA

The theme of the march and rally is “Stand for Philippine Sovereignty and Democracy in the Philippines! Fight For Human Rights!”

Under Duterte, the Philippines does not have true independence. We’re seeing the betrayal of our national sovereignty as Duterte sells our sovereignty to the highest bidder: both China and United States. China continues to occupy our territories in the West Philippine Sea and Duterte has entered into onerous loan agreements with China threatening our national patrimony of natural resources, while burying the Philippines in high interest loans. We remain subservient to the US through unequal treaties and agreements such as the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) and the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA).

Democracy in the Philippines is further diminished as Duterte continues to consolidate his power, as shown through the recent midterm elections, to the ouster of Chief Justice Sereno, the continued imprisonment of Senator Leila de Lima, the crackdown on journalists like Maria Ressa, to the extension of martial law in Mindanao. Duterte’s dictatorial ambitions are made clear.

Join us in the fight for human rights in the Philippines! In almost 3 years 29,000 people have been killed in the drug war, and there’s been a relentless crackdown on dissent and assassinations of activists, priests, lawyers, indigenous people, and farmers like the Negros 14. Meanwhile, the US continues to send our tax dollars to the Philippine military and police, $184.5 million in 2018 alone, contributing to these grave human rights violations.

Children denied soap and toothbrushes, crowded into unsafe conditions. Separated from their families, subject to cruel treatment that leads to lasting traumas. And some dying in custody—or dying with parents as they cross the Rio Grande.

We've seen the images and heard the stories coming out of child detention centers. Horrifically, these conditions aren't an accident. They are the byproduct of an intentional strategy by the Trump administration to terrorize immigrant communities and criminalize immigration—from imprisoning children in inhumane conditions to threatening widespread raids to break up families to covering up reports of immigrants dying in U.S. custody and abuses by ICE and CBP agents.

It’s going to take all of us to close the camps.

This Tuesday, July 2, while members of Congress are home for the Fourth of July holiday, we will gather at their local offices in protest. Our demands:

    Close the Camps
    Not One Dollar for Family Detention
 and Deportation
    Bear Witness and Reunite Families

All actions that are sponsored or organized on this page are intended to be nonviolent and peaceful.

Join us at the Queens BOE Office on Friday as we rally to demand: 
✅ The Board of Elections count every Affidavit Ballot and give Queens residents the fair election they deserve
✅ An independent investigation of the county committee and the board of elections 

The Board of Elections is claiming that Melinda Katz won the Queens DA race despite the fact that the change in vote total is almost statistically impossible and the BOE is refusing to count 2,500 affidavit ballots.  If the affidavit ballots aren’t counted, it’s clear that this was an unfair election where the machine tipped the scales to favor Melinda Katz. Totally unacceptable and the people of Queens won’t take it lying down.

Event Description from FB: Together we can stop the alt-right and put an end to Trump's white supremacist fantasies

Calling for an #AllOutDC mobilization against white nationalism and the alt-right July 6th

PROUD BOYS: FUCK Y'ALL

Where the alt-right rallies with hundreds, or even dozens, it should be met with thousands

On July 6th, two days after Donald Trump’s July 4th rally, the alt-right is planning a convergence in the DC at Freedom Plaza. #AlloutDC is calling on every one of good conscience to join us.

Speakers includes Laura Loomer, a banned Twitter-personality notorious for promoting Islamophobia; Mike Cernovich, who speaks openly in favor of date rape; and Milo Yiannopoulus, who harassed trans women at AU, taught College Republicans to snitch on the undocumented, and sang America the Beautiful in front of Richard Spencer giving Hitler salutes.

This rally isn’t about freedom of speech, it’s about protecting the promotion of hate and bigotry. Whether in bulletproof vests, police badges, MAGA hats, or in khakis, fascists thrive when we look the other way.

Our movements brought down old symbols of racism. Confronted neo-nazi celeberties and pushed them out of the political mainstream.
DC is not new to this. We remember the days before Unite the Right when Nazis brandished guns and Confederate flags in Southeast DC. When Richard Collins III was murdered at the hands of a local alt-right extremist. Where MPD resists implementing the NEAR act, for community accountability of police.

And in the suburbs, we see white nationalist sheriffs working through 287(g) contracts to kidnap, imprison, and deport migrants.

Right here DC, we saw the Clark brothers planning similar attacks to the Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue massacre.

If we want to live in a world where black and brown people are not locked in cages, or killed by right-wing police; where public safety is community lead. Where people from Mexico, Honduras, and El Salvador are more free to move across borders than dirty fossil fuel corporations. Wherever state violence grows, we must support communities of resistance.

Not only will we deny the alt-right a platform, but we will also build the capacity to undermine the border, prison system, and welcome the free movement of people. Our collective vision for a world based on solidarity, support, and autonomy begins with our collective resistance now.

Together we can stop the alt-right and watch Trump’s white supremacist fantasies crumble once and for all.

###

In DC

Come out and support the coming #AlloutDC mobilization. Let us show why thousands of people greeted less than 20 scared nazis last year for Unite The Right 2. There are real alternatives in our community to xenophobia and white supremacy. Neighbors support neighbors at several Really Really Free Markets/free stores, communities bailing out black mothers, and communities welcoming newcomers. Our vision for a more free society where we share power and support each other is in direct conflict with the Proud Boys and fascists coming to DC.

It should be met with communities willing to defend the most marginalized.

Outside of DC

Hold a solidarity demonstration against organized hate and white supremacy. Mobilize against a new jail, 287g contacts, or funding line of private prisons/ICE detention centers such as Wells Fargo, Suntrust, or Bank of America. Organize a benefit to bail out black mothers, mutual aid disaster relief, resistance on the borderlands, or show the values of mutual aid and solidarity. Occupy ICE headquarters or police stations.

Each time a fascist shows up in one of our community lets show that community-led resistance and solidarity is a real alternative to authoritarianism, hate, and xenophobia.

Public · Hosted by African Immigrants' Commission of NY& CT

A Nonviolent Rally For Justice & Against Violence in our Community.
The African Immigrants' Commission of New York and Connecticut (AIC) and the African community are privileged to be hosting a Nonviolent Rally For Justice & Against Violence in our Community. The Rally would be on
Saturday, July 6, 2019 from 11 am to 3 pm at the
Bronx County Supreme Court Building
851 Grand Concourse, Bronx, New York 10451. (On the Steps)
Trains: 4 train or D to 161st Yankee Stadium.

Our community has been ravaged by violence against its members such as Fatoumata Camara attacked on May 10th,2019 beaten up at the BX 35 bus stop, Mamadou Diallo aka DJ Damas Attacked on April 9th,2019 beaten up coming from a restaurant, Ganiou Ganfonou attacked March 2nd, 2019 and stabbed to death seating inside his car. There has been no arrestation or prosecution for any of these acts of violence. The African population would like to exercise their first amendment rights of peaceful assembly and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Consequently, we are holding a nonviolent rally for justice and against violence in our Community.

The African community wants the perpetrators of these crimes arrested right away and prosecuted to the full extent of the Law. The African community would like to assist and support the New York City Law enforcement in any capacity to bring justice to the community. This Rally is not an against the law enforcement, but a rally against the outbreaks of violence perpetrated against the African community and demand that justice be served. Therefore, others in the community can feel safe again.

We are eagerly waiting for you and /or your organization presence at the event.

Best Regards,

For more information contact the Charmain, Mory Kouyate.

Read and Resist - The Stonewall Reader
Sunday, Jul 7, 11:00 to 1:00 in The People's Forum
320 West 37th St. btw. 8th & 9th Aves.
Public · Hosted by Read and Resist NYC and Rise and Resist

Read and Resist is a monthly book club featuring books relevant to activism and organizing. Our eleventh meeting will be a discussion of "The Stonewall Reader", edited by The New York Public Library.
We will have coffee and donuts at the book club. We are meeting at
The People's Forum (320 W 37th St, New York, NY 10018) on
Sunday, July 7 from 11AM-1PM in the Claudia Jones Seminar Room.

"Drawing from the New York Public Library's archives, The Stonewall Reader is a collection of first hand accounts, diaries, periodic literature, and articles from LGBTQ magazines and newspapers that documented both the years leading up to and the years following the riots. Most importantly the anthology spotlights both iconic activists who were pivotal in the movement, such as Sylvia Rivera, co-founder of Street Transvestites Action Revolutionaries (STAR), as well as forgotten figures like Ernestine Eckstein, one of the few out, African American, lesbian activists in the 1960s. The anthology focuses on the events of 1969, the five years before, and the five years after."

The People's Forum is wheelchair accessible via an elevator. If it is an economic hardship, we can provide a MTA card to use the bus or subway to attend this meeting.
== > Please email info@riseandresist.org to request a metro card with two swipes.

The book can be purchased online, borrowed from the library, and is available at NYC book stores, such as The Strand:

Background:
Mighty Earth, a Washington DC group, released a report called "Still at it" which points to  large-scale forest-clearing by Bolivian and Brazilian farmers who trade soybeans with Cargill. Mighty Earth used satellite imaging and supply-chain mapping information from the Stockholm Environment Institute, an environmental think tank, to identify deforestation in Brazil where two American-based food giants, Cargill and Bunge, are the only known agricultural traders.
The group used drones to record the clearing of forests and savannas in areas where Cargill operates silos.

References:
"Deforestation in Amazon surges to a record high," The Guardian https://earthfirstjournal.org/newswire/2013/11/18/deforestation-in-amazon-jungle-increases-by-nearly-a-third-in-one-year/

The report, called Still At It, said McDonald’s had expressed a “desire for collective joint action with its suppliers” about the problem.

The company had not provided information about its supply chain but “publicly available data shows that it is Cargill’s biggest customer in Europe”, the report added.

Mighty Earth used satellite images, drones and mapping information to find evidence of significant deforestation in areas of Brazil and Bolivia where Cargill and another major company, Bunge, buy from farmers.

See also the Independent: https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/mcdonalds-beef-burgers-amazon-rainforest-deforestation-cargill-bunge-a7741541.html
“Despite the positive past steps McDonald’s has taken, everything we know about their suppliers suggests they’re still chock full of deforestation.”

...In February, The New York Times spoke to local farmers in Bolivia in the areas covered by the first Mighty Earth report and was told by ones who had cleared forest areas that they had sold soy to Cargill.
While Cargill is hardly well known, it is the largest private firm in the US in terms of revenue.

For too long, Palestinians have been calling for freedom, justice, and equality. As organizations that share these values, we urge you to join us in confronting Christians United for Israel (CUFI). CUFI has quietly become the largest organization in the United States driving support for Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people. With over five million members, CUFI uses its political leverage to ensure ongoing U.S. support for Israel’s colonization and military occupation of Palestine, including imprisoning Palestinian children; bombing homes, schools, and hospitals in Gaza; massacring peaceful protestors; and confiscating Palestinian land. By its own admission, CUFI “led the charge to have the U.S. recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital,” and it continues to push for unconstitutional anti-BDS legislation and illegal settlement expansion.

CUFI is a Christian Zionist organization: Its ideology and politics are deeply entrenched in white nationalism, anti-Muslim racism, anti-Semitism, and other systems of oppression. In spite of its strong political influence on the Hill, CUFI has operated largely under the radar and received little attention in comparison with groups like AIPAC. Until now. This is the moment to act: This July, many of your Congressional representatives will be attending CUFI’s annual summit as invited guests. We cannot allow CUFI’s influence to go unchallenged. Come to Washington, D.C. on July 7 and 8 to tell the world to #CounterCUFI! It will take each and every one of us to rise against racism, to reclaim and protect our communities, and to uphold the liberation of all people in the vision of justice, equality, and freedom.

Countering Christian Zionism: Interfaith Visions of Liberation
July 7, 7:00-9:00pm |
Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ
5301 North Capitol St NE, Washington, D.C.

On Sunday evening, we will be joined by Christian, Muslim, Jewish, and Palestinian organizers, Linda Sarsour, Lesley Williams, Lara Kiswani, and Rev. Dr. Neichelle Guidry, for a community conversation. We will be discussing how we can challenge Christian Zionism and its role in U.S. support for Israel and its apartheid policies while upholding our collective vision of liberation and justice for all. Tarek Abuata, FOSNA executive director, will moderate the discussion, and Steven Gardiner of Political Research Associates will start us off with a briefing on Christian Zionism.

Lesley Williams is a member of the coordinating committee for Jewish Voice for Peace in Chicago organizing to address Islamophobia. Lesley participated in two West Bank delegations with the Center for Jewish Nonviolence for solidarity work and is a member of the Center for Jewish Nonviolence’s strategy and values team. She is a featured speaker for Jews Against Anti-Muslim Racism and recently published the article "We Cannot Fight Anti-Semitism and Anti-Black Racism in Isolation."

Lara Kiswani is the executive director of the Arab Resource and Organizing Center, a San Francisco–based grassroots organization working to address economic, social, and political impacts of anti-Arab racism by organizing Arab and Muslim communities around justice and self-determination for all. A Palestinian born in the Bay Area, Lara completed her undergraduate studies at UC Davis and earned an M.A. in education at San Francisco State University, where she researched Palestinian American youth identity, language, and decolonization.

Linda Sarsour is a Palestinian Muslim American organizer from Brooklyn, New York and co-founder of the first Muslim online organizing platform, MPower Change. Linda co-chaired the Women's March on Washington and the March2Justice, a 250-mile journey on foot to deliver a justice package to end racial profiling, demilitarize police and demand the government invest in young people and communities. Linda has been at the forefront of major civil rights campaigns including calling for an end to unwarranted surveillance of New York’s Muslim communities and ending police brutality.

Rev. Dr. Neichelle Guidry is the creator of she preaches, a virtual community and professional development organization that aspires to uplift African-American millennial women in ministry through theological reflection, fellowship, and liturgical curation. For six years, she served as the Associate Pastor to Young Adults and the Liaison to Worship and Arts Ministries in the Office of the Senior Pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. She currently serves as the Dean of the Chapel and the Director of the WISDOM Center at Spelman College in Atlanta.

Steven Gardner is Program Area Lead for the Racial & Immigrant Justice Team at Political Research Associates where he specializes in work opposing white nationalism, antisemitism, and Islamophobia. He has a doctorate in cultural anthropology from Cornell University, specializing in cultures of resistance to militarism and militarization. He will soon be releasing a new report on Christian Zionism.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Christian Zionism?

Christian Zionism is a political and theological ideology that uses Christian texts to support the modern nation-state of Israel out of the belief that Israel has a cosmic purpose to bring about the “End Times” which will culminate in the second coming of Jesus and the end of the world.

Christian Zionist theology holds that Israel must gather all the Jews of the world, enlarge its territory, destroy Muslim holy places, and ethnically cleanse “the holy land” of all non-Jews. About one-third of evangelical Christians in the United States believe that support for such actions from Israel will help hasten the desired end of the world. Christian Zionism is a far-right ideology that the majority of Christians do not subscribe to and find to be heresy.
What is CUFI?

Christians United for Israel (CUFI) is the largest pro-Israel lobby in the United States claiming 5 million members—over five times the number of AIPAC members. It is largely made up of evangelical Christians who hold Christian Zionist beliefs.

Through the massive and influential political machine that is CUFI, these problematic beliefs are translated into policy. CUFI has successfully lobbied for some of the most hawkish and repressive U.S. policies including the move of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, unconstitutional anti-boycott legislation, annexation of the Golan Heights, cutting humanitarian funding to Palestinians, and hostility with Iran.
How is CUFI racist and discriminatory?

CUFI founder John Hagee is the face of the organization. Paster of the 20,000-member Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas, and CEO of John Hagee Ministries, Hagee is considered one of the most influential Republicans in the country. He has a record of anti-Muslim, antisemitic, anti-LGBTQI2, and racist statements. In 2006, Hagee told a gathering of evangelicals that “Jihad has come to America” and “If we lose the war to Islamic fascism, it will change the world as we know it.” More recently Hagee has jumped on the “immigrant invasion” bandwagon.
How is CUFI antisemitic?

Although CUFI claims to defend Jews, its support for Jewish people takes form in unabashed support for the Israeli state. Conflating Jewish people with the Israeli government and state is not only inaccurate, but harmful and anti-Semetic. The Israeli state instrumentalizes Jewish identity to violate Palestinian human rights. CUFI shamelessly promotes this manipulation of Judaism and Jewish identity with zero regard for its impact on Palestinian lives.

CUFI’s founder, John Hagee, has said on more than one occasion that Nazis were basically divine agents and that the Holocaust was necessary to push Jews toward Palestine, hasten the creation of a Jewish state, and put in motion a chain of events that would lead to the “End Times.” Hagee has perpetuated a litany of antisemitic tropes including his claim that Hitler was a “half breed Jew,” that “Rothschild bankers in Europe” controlled the economy, that God cursed Jews, and that anti-Semitism and the Holocaust itself was the fault of Jews.

Join Rise and Resist in the main hall of Grand Central Terminal in a silent protest. We will address the Trump Administration's newest attacks on asylum seekers and immigrants, as well as the deaths of refugee children in U.S. custody.

On June 17, Trump announced (tweeted) that ICE would begin  a mass roundup of families that have received deportation orders. The plan is for predawn raids in major U.S. cities. Imagine what this will feel like for the family, friends, and neighbors.

Five days later, Trump delayed the raids for two weeks, until July 7. But the rhetoric of hate, and the fear of SWAT teams and home invasions has a chilling effect. This is state terrorism.

On June 21, news broke about the unsafe and unsanitary conditions in the Customs and Border Patrol prison for children in Clint, Texas. Children were unwashed, unattended, hungry, and sick. We know of 7 immigrant children who have already died in U.S. custody. This is state terrorism.

The Trump administration is terrorizing asylum seekers, and forcibly removing children from their families. Trump is using  terror as a tactic to deter immigration. This is immoral and inhumane.

We must object and demand that these policies end. Join us to demand: NO RAIDS - CLOSE THE CAMPS - ABOLISH ICE!

We are taking direct action together for equality, justice, and human rights. We are rising against oppression and tyranny. We are building a better world.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Christian Zionism?

Christian Zionism is a political and theological ideology that uses Christian texts to support the modern nation-state of Israel out of the belief that Israel has a cosmic purpose to bring about the “End Times” which will culminate in the second coming of Jesus and the end of the world.

Christian Zionist theology holds that Israel must gather all the Jews of the world, enlarge its territory, destroy Muslim holy places, and ethnically cleanse “the holy land” of all non-Jews. About one-third of evangelical Christians in the United States believe that support for such actions from Israel will help hasten the desired end of the world. Christian Zionism is a far-right ideology that the majority of Christians do not subscribe to and find to be heresy.
What is CUFI?

Christians United for Israel (CUFI) is the largest pro-Israel lobby in the United States claiming 5 million members—over five times the number of AIPAC members. It is largely made up of evangelical Christians who hold Christian Zionist beliefs.

Through the massive and influential political machine that is CUFI, these problematic beliefs are translated into policy. CUFI has successfully lobbied for some of the most hawkish and repressive U.S. policies including the move of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, unconstitutional anti-boycott legislation, annexation of the Golan Heights, cutting humanitarian funding to Palestinians, and hostility with Iran.
How is CUFI racist and discriminatory?

CUFI founder John Hagee is the face of the organization. Paster of the 20,000-member Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas, and CEO of John Hagee Ministries, Hagee is considered one of the most influential Republicans in the country. He has a record of anti-Muslim, antisemitic, anti-LGBTQI2, and racist statements. In 2006, Hagee told a gathering of evangelicals that “Jihad has come to America” and “If we lose the war to Islamic fascism, it will change the world as we know it.” More recently Hagee has jumped on the “immigrant invasion” bandwagon.
How is CUFI antisemitic?

Although CUFI claims to defend Jews, its support for Jewish people takes form in unabashed support for the Israeli state. Conflating Jewish people with the Israeli government and state is not only inaccurate, but harmful and anti-Semetic. The Israeli state instrumentalizes Jewish identity to violate Palestinian human rights. CUFI shamelessly promotes this manipulation of Judaism and Jewish identity with zero regard for its impact on Palestinian lives.

CUFI’s founder, John Hagee, has said on more than one occasion that Nazis were basically divine agents and that the Holocaust was necessary to push Jews toward Palestine, hasten the creation of a Jewish state, and put in motion a chain of events that would lead to the “End Times.” Hagee has perpetuated a litany of antisemitic tropes including his claim that Hitler was a “half breed Jew,” that “Rothschild bankers in Europe” controlled the economy, that God cursed Jews, and that anti-Semitism and the Holocaust itself was the fault of Jews.

A rebuttal to Donald Trump’s comment about allowing “people from shithole countries” entrance to the United States and a chronicle of the playwright’s family’s journey to American citizenship. This one-woman show tells a story that echoes those of many Black and Brown immigrants in America, highlighting the cultural straddling, battling of stereotypes, and struggle with patriotism that come with being caught between two lands that don’t always seem to love you back. With a provocative title and a raw truth, Armand presents a story of love, loss and national reflection that is timely, thought-provoking, and fearless.

 We will mourn, we will remember, and we will make sure that May­or de Blasio knows that the NYC Bike Family will not stand for the threat on our lives.

Subject:     [TABK] NYC Bike Family Mass Die-in
Date:     Wed, 3 Jul 2019 10:01:21 -0700 (PDT)
From:     David Herman <info@davidhermanstudio.com>
To:     Transportation Alternatives Brooklyn Activist Committee

On July 9, the NYC bike family will stage a mass die-in to protest the killing of cyclists.

Drivers have killed 15 people on bikes this year — more than double the number killed this time last year.

We de­serve safe pa­ssage. We deserve the pure joy of riding a bike. We will not stop rid­ing and we will not ac­cept this injus­tice.

Please join the en­tire #NYC bike family for a Mass Die‑in on
July 9 at 6:30 p.m. in Wash­ington Square Park, Manhattan.

We will mourn, we will remember, and we will make sure that May­or de Blasio knows that the NYC Bike Family will not stand for the threat on our lives.

Vision Zero is in a state of emergency, and the only way to stop the killings is to break New York City’s car culture. We deserve safe passage, and on June 9, we will demand it.

More details to come at https://www.facebook.com/events/2188167784639007/. Say you’ll be there, and check back here for details.

Letter-Writing Dinner f/ Polit. Prisoner Eric King

WHAT: Political Prisoner Letter-Writing Dinner
WHEN: 7:00pm sharp, Tuesday, July 9, 2019
WHERE: The Base – 1302 Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn, New York 11221
(directions below)
NOTE: The Base is on the ground floor, is wheelchair accessible, and has
a gender neutral toilet.
COST: Free [ask correct ending time]

https://nycabc.wordpress.com/2019/07/05/EricKing2019

It’s rare we get good news in the political prisoner support world, or
even the anarchist world, as you all well know. But recently NYC ABC was
thrilled to find out that Eddie Africa, one of the MOVE 9 political
prisoners, was released on Friday, June 21st after serving an abominable
40 years in prison. WELCOME HOME EDDIE! You can support the struggle to
get parole for the two remaining MOVE 9 prisoners–Chuck and Delbert, via
the Abolitionist Law Center
.
In the meantime, we keep grinding and hosting every-other-week political
prisoner letter-writing dinners, and this week is no different.

This week NYC ABC will be writing to anarchist prisoner Eric King, who
certainly feeds off of news of fellow political prisoners to keep his
fire burning while inside. Eric is a vegan anarchist prisoner serving a
10 year sentence for an attempted firebombing of a government official’s
office in Kansas City, Missouri in September 2014. Eric was charged with
throwing a hammer through a window of the building, followed by two lit
Molotov cocktails. The criminal complaint states that both incendiary
devices failed to ignite. We encourage folks to send him a card or
letter and spread the word about him if not already doing so. More
information can be found at https://supportericking.org.

If for what ever reason you can’t make it out to write Eric in the
company of fellow anarchists and vegan food, we hope you’ll still find
some time to write to him here:
Eric King # 27090045
USP Atlanta
Post Office Box 150160
Atlanta, Georgia 30315

The deal, as always, is that you come bringing only yourself (and your
friends and comrades), and we provide you with a delicious vegan meal,
information about the prisoners as well as all of the letter-writing
materials and prisoner-letter-writing info you could ever want to use in
one evening. In return, you write a thoughtful letter to a political
prisoner or prisoner of war of your choosing or, better yet, keep up a
long-term correspondence. We’ll also provide some brief updates and pass
around birthday cards for the PP/POWs whose birthdays fall in the next
two weeks thanks to the PP/POW Birthday Calendar.

Directions:
Getting to The Base is simple:
>From the M Train:
Central Avenue Stop: Walk east on Myrtle Avenue (away from Hart Street,
toward Cedar Street). We’re about two blocks down on the south side of
the street.

Knickerbocker Avenue Stop: Walk west on Myrtle Avenue (away from Harman
Street, toward Himrod Street). We’re about three blocks down on the
south side of the street.

>From the L Train:
DeKalb Avenue Stop: Walk south on Stockholm Street (away from Wyckoff
Avenue, toward Irving Avenue). We’re about four blocks down, at the
intersection of Stockholm Street and Myrtle Avenue.

>From the J Train:
Myrtle Avenue Stop: Transfer to the M train and follow the above
directions.

Dump Coca Cola!

nr. N, R, (W), (B), D, F, (M), 1, 2, 3, 7, Q, S, A, C, E & buses via 49th St. or 42nd St/

Join us in Times Square at the massive Coca Cola billboard as a backdrop on 7/10 for the second lunchtime protest targeting Coca-Cola, demanding they DUMP FairlLife dairy and ALL dairy, on the heels of the horrific undercover investigation by @[220910071598:274:Animal Recovery Mission] which documented rampant abuse and torture of calves and cows at the supplier farm for Fairlife. Coca-Cola is a distributor of FairLife and has the opportunity to do the right thing and send a huge message around the world about the violence of the dairy industry. This is part of a nationwide boycott campaign targeting Coca-Cola and FairLife. The Coca-Cola Company says that “animal cruelty is unacceptable and against our values," yet it refuses to exit the dairy industry. As Coke executives know, dairy cannot be produced without abusing animals. Activists around the country are therefore dumping Coca Cola - until Coca Cola ditches dairy. We will have posters, but, if you have your own posters (including anti-dairy posters), please bring them. We will also literally be dumping cans of Coca-Cola in Times Square.

—
“This thoughtful, well-written, exceedingly intelligent and passionately argued book also happens to be one of the most powerful and analytical dissections of US imperialism and white supremacy published in years.”
–Gerald Horne, Moores Professor of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston and author of three dozen books including, The Counter-Revolution of 1776: Slave Resistance and the Origins of the USA
“Thankfully, Kovalik helps to cut through the Orwellian lies and dissembling which make this intervention possible, and just when such truth-telling is so desperately needed.”

Why are our communities invested in war?

How can we divest our dollars from death and destruction?

While a staggering 64% of the U.S. federal discretionary budget goes to military spending, our universities, pension funds, churches, and banks remain invested in weapons manufacturers that make a killing on killing innocent civilians across the world. The U.S. government is the top arms dealer to Saudi Arabia, which has launched airstrikes on Yemen since 2015. Over 60,000 Yemenis have been killed in what many call the world's largest humanitarian crisis. Now, the government is threatening war with Iran - which can only lead to more devastating human consequences.

How do we create a world where war is no longer normal?

How do we transform our government so our economy no longer profits from murder?

We will discuss...

    Iran
    Yemen
    Saudi Arabia
    Local Divest from War campaigns
    Speakers and co-sponsors to be announced!

Exhibit Thursday, July 11 – Sunday, Sept. 29, 2019
Opening Reception: Thursday, Jul. 11, 6:00 to 9:00 PM

Interference Archive is pleased to announce our upcoming exhibition, Resistance Radio: The People’s Airwaves, which looks at the history of radio as a medium for grassroots movements and their organizing work.

Radio rose as a mass medium in the 1920s, and was the dominant form of popular media until at least the 1950s; even after the invention of television, it continued to be a central communication tool, the platform for both state-run media and voices of opposition. It has also been a frequent site of conflict between citizens and the state, exemplified in the United States by the FCC’s regulation of the airwaves and suppression of pirate stations. Today, radio is still very much in use: radio reaches 95% of the global population, while only 56% have internet access at home. 93% of Americans listen to the radio at least weekly, and pirate radio is thriving here in Brooklyn, serving immigrant populations and others overlooked by mainstream media. Radio has remained a consistently popular form of communication over the past decade, in part because of certain unique features: it is relatively cheap and accessible, it is a form of media that is inherently tied to its location and its local community, and it reaches populations not served by online media, including those for whom language or literacy is a barrier. Radio, both past and present, has been attractive to those who wish to embrace a DIY ethos and a spirit of resistance, and to others as a platform for community building and the development of a political consciousness.

This exhibition focuses on radio endeavors created to reach communities not served by mainstream outlets. We’re interested in the people, stations, and organizations that have battled to bring their defiant programming onto the airwaves, and particularly in cases where these actions were in service of grassroots movements and/or community organizing. Resistance Radio: The People’s Airwaves tells some of the stories of these rebellious broadcasters. While we couldn’t possibly offer a comprehensive history of resistance radio, this exhibition offers a selection of case studies from around the world, from the 1920s to today, sorted into broad themes. Each case study illuminates the varying role radio has played and can play in supporting social and political movements. To name a few examples, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers’ Radio Conciencia, based in Immokalee, Florida, is a station that developed out of and supports a national farm workers movement based in that community; WMMT’s “Calls From Home”, which broadcasts messages from loved ones around the US to folks who are incarcerated in prisons within broadcasting range, demonstrates the practical power of a medium that communicates through prison walls; and stations like Cuba’s Radio Rebelde, which broadcast on behalf of the rebel army during the Cuban Revolution, and El Salvador’s Radio Venceremos, founded to support the FMLN during the Salvadoran Civil War, served as the voice of popular uprisings. Many more stations have been devoted to serving as resources for underrepresented or oppressed communities, and independent, community, and pirate stations have helped to drive and support a variety of movements, from Black Liberation to anti-gentrification. Perhaps more than anything else, these histories illuminate the always contentious relationship between media and the state, and various ways in which this conflict has played out over the air.

Today, audio production is more accessible than ever, and podcasts continue to grow in popularity. But podcast distribution is largely reliant on corporate platforms like Apple, Spotify, or Soundcloud, and by producing digital content, we limit our audience to those with reliable internet access. It’s important for us to know what it looks like to control the means of media production, which is one reason we want to present this history. Another is to acknowledge these rebellious broadcasters as the forerunners of current efforts to democratize media distribution and production, including the development of community-owned mesh networks. Finally, we aim to ask what relevance the history of independent, pirate, and community radio has today, and how it can inform our current struggles.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a zine and a series of events. Our first event will be a talk with Pete Tridish of Radio Mutiny and Prometheus Radio, Saturday, July 13, at 5pm. More details coming soon!

This exhibition has been organized by Interference Archive volunteers Celia Easton Koehler, Colin Muller, Dylan Flesch, Elena Levi, Kelly Mill, Louise Barry, Natalie Kerby, and Rob Smith.

This event is free and open to the public.

Why are our communities invested in war? How can we divest our dollars from death and destruction?

While a staggering 64% of the U.S. federal discretionary budget goes to militarized spending, our universities, pension funds, churches, and banks remain invested in weapons manufacturers and defense contractors that make a killing on imprisoning and killing innocent civilians at home and across the world. The U.S. government is the top arms dealer to Saudi Arabia, which has launched airstrikes on Yemen since 2015, many with American weapons. Over 60,000 Yemenis have been killed in what many call the world's largest humanitarian crisis. Now, the government is threatening war with Iran - which can only lead to more devastating human consequences. While innocent people die at our hands, CEOs of weapons companies pocket enormous profits through public and private investments.

How do we create a world where war is no longer normal? How do we transform our government so our economy no longer profits from oppression and murder?

Discussion topics
-Iran, Korea, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Yemen
-Local weapons and prison divestment campaigns

Subject: The Legislative Session is Over--Join us July 17th for Happy Hour!
From: "Alyssa Aguilera & Jeremy Saunders"
Date: 7/11/2019, 11:46 AM
https://vocal.ourpowerbase.net/civicrm/event/register?reset=1&id=2294&cid=0
Last month, the legislative session in Albany closed, finishing up an incredible couple of months where we won historic criminal justice reforms, tenant protections, and access to lifesaving medication-assisted treatment. But there is still more work to do--marijuana justice, statewide housing for people living with HIV/AIDS, the abolishment of solitary confinement, and more are still sorely needed in New York.

What does it all mean? What laws got passed, and when do they go into effect? And how will they impact New Yorkers across the state?

Want to learn more about what went down this session? Join us for happy hour at the Hollow Nickel in Brooklyn!

Subject:  Memory of Forgotten (Korean) War - Screening & Talk Back - July 11
From:   "Sally, Peace Action New York State" <info@panys.org>
Date:  6/17/2019, 4:03 PM
To: "Nyprotest Listserv" <nyprotest@lists.riseup.net>

Peace Action Manhattan and Peace Action New York State would like to invite you to a screening of "Memory of Forgotten War" (38 minutes), followed by a talk back with Aiyoung Choi of WomenCrossDMZ on Thursday, July 11,  7:00 to 9:00 PM at the Goddard Riverside Community Center at 593 Columbus Avenue (at W. 88th Street).

(Peace Action Manhattan's monthly gatherings are usually the first Thursday of the month, but because of the July 4th holiday, the July gathering has been rescheduled to July 11.)

The Korean War is the longest ongoing war. It ended in a temporary ceasefire on July 27, 1953 and has remained unresolved for seven decades.

MEMORY OF FORGOTTEN WAR conveys the human costs of military conflict through deeply personal accounts of the Korean War (1950-53) by four Korean-American survivors. Their stories take audiences through the trajectory of the war, from extensive bombing campaigns, to day-to-day struggle for survival and separation from family members across the DMZ. Decades later, each person reunites with relatives in North Korea, conveying beyond words the meaning of family loss. These stories belie the notion that war ends when the guns are silenced and foreshadow the future of countless others displaced by ongoing military conflict today.

AIYOUNG CHOI of WOMENCROSSDMZ will join us after the screening for a talk back about the film. WomenCrossDMZ are women peacemakers from around the world walking and working for peace in Korea.

 == > Please RSVP on our Facebook Event page to let us know you are coming.  This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments served. For more information contact: info@panys.org.

Let's keep working to end war together.

Narcopolis
Jeet Thayil
Written in poetic and affecting prose, Jeet Thayil’s luminous debut novel charts the evolution of a great and broken metropolis across three decades. A rich, hallucinatory dream that captures Bombay in all its compelling squalor, Narcopolis completely subverts and challenges the literary traditions for which the Indian novel is celebrated. It is a book about drugs, sex, death, perversion, addiction, love, and God and has more in common in its subject matter with the work of William S. Burroughs or Baudelaire than with that of the subcontinent’s familiar literary lights. Above all, it is a fantastical portrait of a beautiful and damned generation in a nation about to sell its soul.

July 25 and August 1
The Expendable Man
Dorothy B. Hughes
“It was surprising what old experiences remembered could do to a presumably educated, civilized man.” And Hugh Denismore, a young doctor driving his mother’s Cadillac from Los Angeles to Phoenix, is eminently educated and civilized. He is privileged, would seem to have the world at his feet, even. Then why does the sight of a few redneck teenagers disconcert him? Why is he reluctant to pick up a disheveled girl hitchhiking along the desert highway? And why is he the first person the police suspect when she is found dead in Arizona a few days later?

Dorothy B. Hughes ranks with Raymond Chandler and Patricia Highsmith as a master of mid-century noir. In books like In a Lonely Place and Ride the Pink Horse she exposed a seething discontent underneath the veneer of twentieth-century prosperity. With The Expendable Man, first published in 1963, Hughes upends the conventions of the wrong-man narrative to deliver a story that engages readers even as it implicates them in the greatest of all American crimes.

August 8 and 15
The Instant Enemy
Ross Macdonald
Generations of murder, greed and deception come home to roost in time for the most shocking conclusion ever in a Lew Archer novel. At first glance, it’s an open-and-shut missing persons case: a headstrong daughter has run off to be with her hothead juvenile delinquent boyfriend. That is until this bush-league Bonnie & Clyde kidnap Stephen Hackett, a local millionaire industrialist. Now, Archer is offered a cool 100 Gs for his safe return by his coquettish heiress mother who has her own mysterious ties to this disturbed duo. But the deeper Archer digs, the more he realizes that nothing is as it seems and everything is questionable. Is the boyfriend a psycho ex-con with murder on the brain or a damaged youngster trying to straighten out his twisted family tree?

August 22 and 29
The End of the Wasp Season
Denise Mina
When wealthy Sarah Erroll is murdered at her home in a posh part of Glasgow the local community is stunned. Heavily pregnant with desperately-wanted twins, DS Alex Morrow is called into a scene so violent that experienced officers can hardly bear to look.

On the other side of town, Thomas Anderson is told by the headmaster at his boarding school that his tyrannical father – a banker responsible for the loss of many livelihoods in the recession – has hanged himself from the old oak tree on the lawn of their home. Thomas returns to the family home to find his mother and sister in a state of shock. The head of the household is dead, yet their initial reaction is not that of grief, but relief. As Alex Morrow makes the connections between the two cases, she faces her greatest challenge yet as her work and home lives collide with potentially disastrous consequences.

September 12 and 19
Nada
Jean-Patrick Manchette
translated from the French by Donald Nicholson-Smith,
with an introduction by Luc Sante

Nada is the most overtly political of Jean-Patrick Manchette’s dark thrillers, a critique of the terrorism that tempted a sliver of the ultra-left in France (and elsewhere) in the wake of the disillusions of 1968. The novel chronicles the kidnapping and eventual killing of an American ambassador by an anarcho-terrorist group who have espoused armed struggle. A rough equivalent to this story might be the saga of the ill-fated Symbionese Liberation Army in California, whose fiery elimination is reminiscent of the police massacre of Manchette’s fictional direct-action group in Nada. The novel is in no sense a political pamphlet, however, and readers who have come to appreciate the very special qualities of Manchette’s writing, and the cool noir style that he inherits in part from Dashiell Hammett and calls “behaviorist,” will not be disappointed in the tour de force that is Nada.

The MEP LITERATURE GROUP has been meeting to discuss literature since the first days of The Marxist Education Project. The group last year completed a second summer of readings of noir, considering works by Hammett, Chandler, Manchette, and others. Other studies have included novels related to World War I, the global depression of the 1930s, borders and migration, and the literature of mutually assured destruction and more.

Join us tomorrow at the Justice Center!

The NYPD made the largest gang raid in history back in 2016, known as the Bronx 120, marking a turning point in the evolution of policing in New York. From ‘Stop and Frisk’ to what is now known as ‘precision policing’, the film further exposes the harmful policing practices that intentionally target working class people of color. Join The Party for Socialism And Liberation, Producer Simon Davis-Cohen, and featured members of the film for a discussion following the screening.

We will be knocking on doors in Astoria to turn residents out to our 7/22 town hall! We will provide training and literature on the spot—no prior canvassing experience is necessary. This town hall is one of the only chances for the public to hold Con Ed accountable and fight against their rate hike and buildout of fossil fuel infrastructure. We will also propose a public takeover of Con Ed so we can democratize, decarbonize, and decommodify our energy system. Please RSVP on the action net link if you'd like to come, and don't hesitate to reach out to us with any more questions!

Come join the NYC DSA Ecosocialist Working Group for Public Power NYC canvassing!

We will canvass the area, talking to residents about what they can do to bring democratic accountability to the for-profit utility system. We're letting people know about the upcoming Town Hall in their neighborhood that we recently got city council to agree to. It's important that we drive as many people out to this so that democracy is heard!

Everyone is welcome! No experienced required. New canvassers will be paired with experienced canvassers. We will also all meet up afterward to celebrate democratic energy
- ADA Accessibility: Yes. If unable to canvass door to door, we will also be handing out flyers in the park

Join the International Action Center and many other organizations and activists in NYC as we respond to the call of the United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC) for days of coordinated mid-July actions to oppose U.S. threats and sanctions against Iran, Venezuela, and other countries and the escalating attacks against migrant workers. (Join actions to End the Wars at Home and Abroad in 31cities. See list at: http://nepajac.org/irandemos. htm )

As years of U.S. attacks on im/migrants stretch into decades, it becomes hard to imagine what additional horror could be inflicted by this white-supremacist government on people trying to find safety by crossing a U.S. border.

The Trump administration has viciously escalated the brutal attacks on migrant workers, opening concentration camps, tearing families apart, while imprisoning children in inhumane conditions and carrying out mass raids and deportations. These attacks are an intensification of the practices of the Obama administration.

At the same time, the U.S. is also setting its targets on Iran. For decades, it has been trying to economically strangle Iran. After Iran had complied with every condition of the so-called Iran Nuclear deal, the Trump Administration unilaterally pulled out of the signed Accord, imposed harsh new sanctions and made ominous military moves.

The U.S. still continues to advance its coup agenda in Venezuela, with new assassination and destabilization efforts against the elected government. The mobilization of the Venezuelan people and the international solidarity movement struggles to push these U.S. coup efforts back.

The sanctions imposed on Iran, Venezuela and over 20 other countries are an extreme form of war by economic means. Sanctions deprive the population of basic food, essential medicines, spare parts, commerce, and foreign aid. Sanctions cause hyperinflation and mass unemployment. The severe sanctions imposed on Venezuela have resulted in the deaths of upwards of 40,000 people.

Both major parties in the U.S. have shown their desire for war. The Democrats have been more aggressive towards Syria, Libya, North Korea and Russia than the Republicans. We need a movement that is unified and independent.

We have seen the disastrous effects of the U.S. wars on Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and other countries as well as U.S. support for Saudi Arabia’s war on Yemen and Israel’s ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians.

U.S. wars have caused the deaths of millions, environmental devastation and the destruction of entire countries. U.S. spending for 800+ foreign military bases, weapons systems, drones and aircraft carriers gobbles up 64% of our tax dollars. Super profits to military and oil corporations steal billions of dollars needed for education, healthcare, housing for all and solidarity for migrants fleeing U.S. wars and climate crisis.

No war on migrants! No war on Iran or Venezuela!
No raids and deportations! No Sanctions!
Bring all the warships and troops home now!

Tuesdays and Thursdays, July 16, 2019 from 6:30pm- 8:30pm | FREE
https://peoplesforum.org/event/imperialism/2019-07-16/ 
In Imperialism, Lenin provided a collective analysis for collective liberation. Following his methods, we will study his text collectively. Our shared reading will focus on three questions: First: How did Lenin shape, frame, and build his analysis? Second: How did this analysis influence anti-imperialist strategy in his moment? Our answers to these questions will guide our final question: How can we better understand imperialism today, in order to build effective anti-imperial strategy for today’s world?

A boot camp for feminist ideas, concepts and visions. This year AF3IRM NYC chose the theme “Decolonize Feminism! Land & Women Not for Conquest” in resistance to corporate-designed “feminism” that homogenizes the collective and generational trauma of transnational women of color, tethers our ‘liberation’ to capitalist notions of productivity and divorces us from our pre-colonial relationship to the land.   by AF3IRM

INTERFAITH PRAYER SERVICE

An Invitation to a Prayer Service from The Church of Heavenly Rest.

This Tuesday, July 16 at 7pm The Church of Heavenly Rest will hold a prayer
service in collaboration with Central Synagogue to witness to the humanitarian
crisis that's unfolding at the Mexican border with asylum seekers, particularly
children. The service will be located at Central Synagogue (E. 55th Street and
Lexington Ave.) Please RSVP here, and if you'd like to travel together, please
meet at the front entrance of Heavenly Rest at 6:15pm.

At the vigil we will include a prayer that our communities can pray even if they are not able to attend-- and we'll invite prayer together over the next forty days. Fixed hour prayer is central to both the Jewish and Christian traditions. Bishop Mary Glasspool is collaborating with us on this effort and will be a leader in our ongoing prayers.

Our focus for the vigil will be on the humanitarian situation at the border that challenges both our civic tradition and our faith commitments.

Our purpose will be to make clear the moral call for care for those we welcome across our border and to ensure that the current situation stays visible in a short attention span news cycle.

In faith,

Peter Cook
Executive Director
New York State Council of Churches

March & Rally for the 5 Year Anniversary of Eric Garner’s Murder
Wednesday, July 17, 2019 from 6:00 PM until ?
from Staten Island Ferry-St George Terminal (on S.I.)
https://facebook.com/events/637390206727061/   Public · Hosted by NYC Shut It Down: The Grand Central Crew #blacklivesmatter and The Legacy Eric Garner left behind - Legacy Garner
https://facebook.com/nycshutitdown/ https://facebook.com/LegacyGarner/

Join NYC Shut It Down and Jewel Miller and Legacy Garner of The Legacy That Eric Garner Left Behind on the 5-year-anniversary of the murder of Eric Garner as we continue to fight for vengeance for him and his daughter Erica Garner.   We will be meeting at 6pm at the Staten Island side of the Staten Island Ferry Terminal.   Following a brief rally we will march to the site of Eric's death and pay our respects to the man whose murder helped ignite the Black Lives Matter movement.
----------------------------------------------

On July 17, 2014 the NYPD murdered Eric Garner for the alleged crime of selling untaxed cigarettes. Five years later, the cop who killed him has not faced any charges and is not only still employed by the NYPD, he has received a raise. Erica Garner, Eric's daughter, will not live to see any form of justice for her father, after passing away in December 2017, yet another casualty of police terror. Ramsey Orta, a friend of Eric who filmed the killing, was subsequently harassed and arrested by a vengeful NYPD and is still incarcerated upstate.   Meanwhile, the NYPD continues their reign of terror in Black and Brown neighborhoods throughout the five boroughs, using the same racist broken windows policing methods that killed Eric. The Garner family and The Legacy That Eric Garner Left Behind continue to fight for justice, and NYC Shut It Down stands in support of them, demanding vengeance for Eric and Erica Garner. Join us as we remember their lives and continue their fight.

Book Launch: Jennifer Block presents Everything Below the Waist: Why Healthcare Needs a Feminist Revolution
In conversation with Elisa Albert
Reception to follow

Greenlight neighbor and award-winning journalist Jennifer Block presents an eye-opening, investigative account of the dismal state of women's healthcare in the U.S. in her new book, Everything Below the Waist. In this urgent book, Block tells the stories of patients, clinicians, and reformers, uncovering history and science that could revolutionize the standard of care, and change the way women think about their health. Examining several staples of modern women's health care, Block finds that while overdiagnosis and overtreatment persist in medicine writ large, they are particularly acute for women. Everything Below the Waist questions how—in today’s supposed age of empowerment—women’s bodies are still so vulnerable to medical control and challenges all people to take back control of their bodies. Block celebrates the launch of this book in conversation with Elisa Albert, author of After Birth, followed by a wine reception.

North American Freedom Flotilla For Gaza
From [Thursday] July 18-20, 2019, Voices for Creative Nonviolence will join with the Freedom Flotilla Coalition’s US Boats to Gaza campaign, supporting their North American Freedom Flotilla for Gaza project with three days of Chicago actions to include a Saturday July 20th mini-flotilla of kayaks, canoes and rowboats on the Chicago River, bearing messages in support of freedom for the people of Gaza.  We are busy arranging housing options for out-of-town participants, and a modest flotilla of river-ready craft.

Since 2010, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition has sent many international flotillas sailing to Gaza to highlight the brutal violation of international law and of Gazans’ human rights that is the Israeli government’s lethal Gaza blockade. Voices members have joined past flotilla actions seeking to free Gazans from Israel’s crushing economic siege and from repeated civilian massacres using sophisticated U.S.-supplied weapons. It is time to give Gazans desperately-needed access to food, fuel, medicine, employment, and basic human dignity.  The next international sailing is in 2020, but this summer our message is for the people of the United States.    Join us!

We will also host (Ret.) Col. Ann Wright (veteran of four past flotillas) and Gazan scholar/activist Jehad Abusalim for a July 18th speaking event at Chicago’s Grace Episcopal Church (637 S. Dearborn), and rally together on land at sites to be announced!  Please don’t hesitate to get involved now by contacting Voices at info@vcnv.org or 773 878 3815.

NYC plans to bulldoze all of East River Park next year. They will bury the entire park with 10 feet of landfill to prevent flooding. We will lose our jewel of green space for years. No playing fields, no picnics, no trees, no nothing!

Let's come together to stop this destructive plan and develop a better one for temporary and long term flood protection, park preservation and climate justice.

Post why you love the park on Twitter and Instagram: #saveourpark
 
Here is a link to Sixth Street Director Howard Brandstein's testimony opposing the City's plan at the June 25 Community Board hearing. His testimony calls for a Green New Deal for the Lower East Side and East Village.

Please join Queens Political Education and the Eco-socialist Working Group for a teach in, "Eco-Fascism: Climate Change and the Far Right." Despite being a relatively small section of the far-right, eco-fascism is likely to grow in prominence as the climate crisis worsens, and was already a guiding ideology for the perpetrator of the Christchurch massacre in New Zealand earlier this year.

Emerging first as a rightwing bludgeon against the environmental movement, tenants of eco-fascism have been adopted by growing segments of the right who wish to co-opt leftist ideas regarding the environment as a way to push back against immigration, and implement white nationalism. In this talk we will investigate the history of eco-fascism, reasons behind its current growth, and the dangers it poses should the left not formulate a robust enough response to the climate crisis.

Horrors at ICE Detention Centers

The actions of violent and oppressive institutions like US Immigration and Customs Enforcement have become more and more visible to wider and wider sections of the U.S. population. All across the U.S., outraged people are calling for the abolition of ICE. Thousands are taking to the streets in protest of local concentration camps and ICE facilities.

No human being should be abused or neglected no matter what their legal status is, and certainly not for the “crime” of traveling to another country to escape the poverty, violence, and lack of opportunity created by exploitative policies and undemocratic interventions carried out by the US government. Everyone should have access to well paid jobs and education, not a sea of prisons that are run for profit.

Join us for a talk and discussion on the atrocities committed by ICE and how we must organize to defend our communities. Abolish ICE now! Immigrants are welcome here!

Climate Change & Capitalism: How this profit driven system is destroying our planet

The catastrophic impacts of global climate change seem to get closer to our reality everyday. This week, a top UN official issued a warning that climate crises are now happening on a weekly basis.  Life threatening disasters like heat waves, storms, and flooding are occurring at much higher rates and with greater intensity.  In a capitalist society, the impact of a “natural” disaster is anything but, reflecting instead the inequality, inefficiency and inhumanity of a system based on profit.

Capitalism’s basic driving force is the endless expansion of profits and wealth for corporations, regardless of environmental boundaries. For capitalism, the environment is not a place human beings must live together with Earth’s other species, but a place to be exploited in the process of accumulating profits.

Today, at this urgent period in human history, we must fight to preserve the planet! The solution to this crisis is clear - we need a system and economy that is planned for to meet the needs of the people and our planet. Come through for a presentation and open discussion on the root causes of the climate crisis and how socialism, a system based on the real needs of humanity
and the Earth, provides a promising future.

 l not be silent. Revolutionary resistance grows every day. We have a responsibility to put on end to these white supremacist camps. Now is the time to concentrate our efforts. We must harness the collective power of the people to dismantle the camps, open the borders, and smash ICE and the CBP!

Reunión de acción para cerrar los campamentos y abolir el ICE de una vez por todas.

¿Cómo cerraremos los campamentos?

¡Únete a F.I.R.E., a las Asambleas del Poder Popular, y a centro de trabajadores de lavandería a las 2 pm el sábado, 20 de Julio, ya que planeamos tomar acción directa contra esta injusticia! Hemos llegado a un momento decisivo histórico. El gobierno de la supremacía blanca de los EE. UU. está reteniendo a niños migrantes en campos de concentración, y el pueblo en todo el país se está dando un paso adelante para decir: "ESTO DEBE TERMINAR". Estos niños se encuentran en absoluta miseria y condiciones insalubres. Este es un ataque despiadado contra las personas de color y contra la clase obrera a nivel mundial, quien al ser desplazadas por las violentas sacudidas del capitalismo del desastre, son castigadas brutalmente por el delito de intentar sobrevivir.

Pero las protestas han surgido. No nos callaran. La resistencia revolucionaria crece cada día. Tenemos la responsabilidad de poner fin a estos campos de supremacistas blancos. Ahora es el momento de unificar nuestros esfuerzos. ¡Debemos aprovechar el poder colectivo de la gente para desmantelar los campamentos, abrir las fronteras y destruir el ICE y el CBP!

¡Todo por el poder popular!

Join us to celebrate regeneration in NYC at the stunning Elizabeth St Garden in Soho! The day will include a wide range of opportunities to gather with each other around workshops, park jams, music, dancing, complimentary Yerba Mate and a regenerative organization
showcase of  = = > local groups {snip} working towards improving the city’s food systems. Bring a blanket, instrument, and your best self to enjoy live music and learn about how we can support keeping important initiatives like the
  == > Elizabeth St Garden and Peace Accelorators’ project, Farms Not Arms, alive and well!

While this event is free and open to the public, we are
 == > suggesting a donation at the door to support the Elizabeth Street Garden as well as the Peace Accelerators' project, Farms not Arms. Learn more about these organizations below!

Peace Accelerators is a NYC based 501(c)(3) non-profit with an interdependent service based ecosystem of ethical futurists working together to architect peace-building operations through three mediums: awareness, action, and celebration.

Farms Not Arms:
Farms Not Arms is the first large-scale peace-building operation being designed by Peace Accelerators in collaboration with inspiring refugee leaders from the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon and some of the brightest urban farmers, architects, and engineers from NYC. Operation: Farms Not Arms' long term vision is to change humanity's obstructive narratives and implicit biases around the topic of refugees. We approach this goal by fostering a collaborative model of regenerative agriculture supportive of refugees’ needs and agency. We are
 == > currently fundraising for the first farm to be cultivated in the Bekaa Valley which will be called the ‘Peace Farm Community Park' (PFCP).

The PFCP has three primary purposes:
(1) Increase food security and fill nutritional gaps through healthy locally grown produce
(2) Regenerate and restore the health of local soil and land by teaching regenerative techniques and best practices that counteract the effects of climate change while sequestering carbon.
(3) Build social cohesion and peace between the displaced residents and the local community through farming, recreation, culture, and play.

The PFCP model was developed through a process known as human-centered design involving the refugee community throughout. It is a replicable and scalable model utilizing low-tech hydroponic soil-less greenhouses, herd rotation, composting, and regenerative species.
 == > A multi-purpose community center will be placed at the center of the Farm Park serving as an educational programming hub, communal cooking area, and nexus for social & cultural gatherings.

Elizabeth Street Garden is a unique community garden located in Little Italy, Manhattan managed by ESG - a community-lead, not-for-profit organization with the mission to protect & preserve the magic of the Garden.

The Garden provides just over 20,000 square feet of much-needed community green space and attracts over 100,000 visitors each year from neighborhood locals and New York residents to visitors from all around the world.  Open 7 days/week, year-round by ESG volunteers, the Garden offers hundreds of free public programs based on environmental awareness & gardening, education, wellness, and arts & culture.

Currently, the City of New York is seeking to destory the garden inorder to build 123 units of non-permanent affordbale housing, luxury retail, a small privately owned public space, and 11,200 square feet of office space for the developers partner. Despite 5 community board resolutions in favor of saving the Garden, over 10,000 petition signatures, and an alternative City-owned gravel lot that can provide up to 5x the amount of housing, the City continues to ignore our communtiy's outcry. ESG's has filed a lawsuit with attorneys Norman Siegel and Kate Fletcher.
