Bring the War Home – 17 October Protest @ Washington Square Park

Posted on by neversleep

17 October 2024 – Anonymous call to action:

FREE PALESTINE! STOP COP NATION! FREE THE PEOPLE! FREE THE LAND! BRING THE WAR HOME! 

After a year of the Zionist entity’s newest assault on Gaza, the struggling and free people within the belly of the beast specifically in amerika have been able to achieve no real material gains for the people of Palestine. We have protested, we have occupied space in our universities, and we have removed our occupations In hopes that our universities will divest without us forcing them to. It’s time we cast away all illusions.

We must recognize that the struggle for Palestinian liberation is intertwined with the struggle for the liberation of the occupied Black Nation within the heart of the beast known as amerika, we must act and move along this basis. The same occupation army that is responsible for the genocide of Palestinians is also responsible for the centuries-long genocide of Black people in amerika. We are sick and tired of getting beat by pigs, Mass arrested, and having nothing come from it. We are sick and tired of performative actions, which do nothing for the people of Palestine and the occupied Black Nation.

As the students of Birzeit Universit, Ghent and Amsterdam University, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Cal Poly Humbolt, and so many more bases of fighting and struggling students have shown us, real change can be made from within the belly of the beast. As the Black Panther Party, the Black Liberation Army, The Revolutionary Action Movement, and other organizations who took up the gun to free themselves, their people, and their land from amerikan occupation and racism have shown us, real change can be made from the belly of the beast.

But this change is only possible when we leap from a false sense of peace to the realization of the combative nature of our struggle. Show up at Washington Square Park on October 17th at 5 pm. Let your voice be heard, let your actions speak for themselves, and develop a genuine combative spirit capable of resisting empire from within.

Call for Autonomous Acts of Rage Against Colonization Everywhere on monday october 14th 2024

Posted on by neversleep

“We will need each other to make sure that the flames, if they were to come, clear the area that we will live in together. We will need to clear it of the fuel that would end up repeating the problems we are currently having. We will need to make sure that the seeds, nutrients and soil are scattered beyond our ability to control.” Aragorn

We don’t just want a cease fire, we want the Right of Return for all Palestinian people, for water to flow, and the traditions to stay alive. We can’t get back the countless lives lost, but we can honor and avenge them. And we will.

For the end of the struggle that is settler colonialism everywhere. Where the land is stolen, consent violated, the old ways forgotten – let it burn.

We hope that every colonizer who robs the lives and dignity of the land and the people on it understands that their great-grandchildren, and their great-grandchildren’s children are not going to be here because of their violence and indeterminate destruction.

We will still be here fighting for the next seven generations, but we will never forget the slaughter, and we will remember to make sure those grandchildren stay afraid of all that is wild.

The united states government now “recognizes” indigenous people’s day alongside columbus day. we must make this impossible to reconcile. We will remain illegible to them, and unknowable to all but each other and the stars above, the water below, and all that of the earth fighting back. We call out to the brave and the humble – all that is striving towards life, while defying management, capture, and domestication with a strength they could never know.

find the connections, funders, manufacturers, advisors, politicians, gentrifiers, and all enemies of the people and the earth. you know who they are.

find some friends and haunt those motherfuckers ghosts

Montrose L Station Disabled

Posted on by neversleep

October 5, 2024

This morning, two weeks after the state-sanctioned execution* of Derrell Mickles and the shooting of several bystanders on the L train line, actionists in Brooklyn dismantled the border infrastructure at the Montrose Ave L Station: card readers were disabled with glue and tap screens were smashed to pieces, forcing the closure of the station’s only turnstiles and allowing all patrons to legally enter the station without paying.

We refuse to pay for subway fare in a city that gives millions of dollars to a violent, occupying police force rather than social services. We refuse to comply with arbitrary rules set by fascists that determine a man’s life is worth $2.90. We recognize that the same death cult that created and patrols the Southern border with México is the same death cult that creates and patrols borders in occupied Palestine and the West Bank is the same death cult that has now killed a man in Brooklyn. MURDERERS OFF THE MTA.

We call on all comrades in the 5 boroughs to join our free fare movement and join us in enforcing free fares throughout the system.

All borders imply the violence of their maintenance. The free fare movement lives. Free Palestine. Justice for Derrell Mickles.

*Admin note: No one was killed in the L train mass shooting. Derrell Mickles is alive and has been indicted on charges of assaulting an officer. The bystander who suffered brain damage also survived and is suing the NYPD for $80 million.

Call to Action: Oct 7 Week of Rage

Posted on by neversleep

LET the FLOOD of AL-AQSA DROWN the SETTLER EMPIRE!

Call for a Week of Rage from October 7–14: Direct action in solidarity with the Palestinian Resistance and anti-colonial movements in Turtle Island.

To act alongside the Al-Quds Axis and ‘bring the war home’ requires nothing less than a revival of anti-colonial militancy in this occupied continent. Free Palestine means death to amerika.

In commemorating one year of Operation Toufan Al-Aqsa, this is a call to go beyond the routine stage-managed ‘protest’ parades; this is a call to organize and sustain attacks on all entities, institutions, and infrastructures of the genocidal u.s.-zionist settler-imperialist order. Strike fear into the hearts of the comfortable colonizers, unsettle the settlers, just as the Palestinian Mujahideen have done.

Honor the martyrs through action. From Palestine to Lebanon to Yemen, to the millions of Native and Afrikan peoples across these lands—carry on the fight of those who dared to resist the settler-invader hordes and their capitalist slaveocracy. Target the many politicians, pigs, and profiteers that uphold the amerikan settler empire and its zionist spawn.

Share this graphic online, print and disseminate this call to action at demos, gatherings, study groups. [PDF: AlAqsaWoR]

Organize a crew—at least three people—map out the terrain, assemble necessary tools, make a plan, and go on the offensive. For ideas, check out past actions and tactical resources on unityoffields.org, and submit a report back to the_unity_of_fields@proton.me.

As Al-Qassam urban guerrillas have demonstrated, a small dedicated cell can do untold damage upon the enemy. In the midst of total genocidal devastation, the Resistance is still able to obliterate the zionist entity’s tanks with just a few men. Let’s muster the courage and conviction so we too can learn from their revolutionary example.

GLORY to the MARTYRS
VICTORY to the RESISTANCE
WHAT IS COMING IS GREATER

FREE FARE: Bedford L train station smashed

Posted on by neversleep

Monday night at the Bedford Ave L train station in Brooklyn, we smashed 8 OMNY readers, 1 OMNY machine, and 2 MTA machines. We made the fare FREE because they had to open the emergency door to let people in. This is in direct response to the L train mass shooting committed by NYPD, when they shot Derrel Mickells and two bystanders over $2.90, in a Black neighborhood under militarized police occupation. New Yorkers say enough is enough and fuck your fare.

We live in a world in which the pig enforcers of racial capitalism can casually shoot us over a few dollars. All our lives especially Black lives are worth less than $2.90 to them. Whether it’s paying the pigs to menace Black and Brown communities and restrict movement, for funding genocide near and far, or creating technology to convenience the rich and confine the poor, capitalism is designed to kill.

This is a call to action. Anyone can do this. Gather info, plan well, be covered, be their nightmare. Let’s all smash! Puncture the walls of the techno-prison and see real light, breathe real air, and destory the fare!

Redecorate the L Train!

Zine: Sabotage of ATMs, Fare Machines, and Parking Meters

[READ]                   [PRINT]

Hopping the turnstile isn’t enough. Likely you’ve already been hopping the turnstile for years and a call for a boycott is no change in your daily routine. But what if we cut off revenue for the most of the line? MTA and NYPD need to feel the heat.

Let’s redecorate all the L train stations. Make them free for everyone, and maybe leave some nice art on those annoying ads while we’re at it.

All you need is some superglue and giftcards to sabotage the card swipe. For OMNY I suggest something pointed like a pick, but I’m sure a hammer will do. Use your wrist. Bike locks for the emergency exits. I’m sure you know the drill. But in case anyone is unfamiliar or wants to jump in some newly radicalized comrades, here’s an old zine you can share around.

Photos: Mass Fare Evasion at West 4th Street

Posted on by neversleep

September 18, 2024

NYPD OUT OF THE MTA: Tonight, New Yorkers stood up for their community and protested the expansion and impunity of the police occupation of their city. Last Sunday, the NYPD shot Derrell Mickles and three others after Mickles entered the platform through the emergency exit at the Sutter Ave. station in Brownsville—committing a mass shooting in one of New York City’s poorest neighborhoods. In response, hundreds of city residents conducted a mass fare evasion at the West 4th station, hopping the turnstiles to say clearly that no one should be killed for not having $2.90, that in fact the subway should be free—and free of cops.

For their part, the NYPD were once again humiliated and shown to be paper tigers when confronted by the ingenuity and mass action of the city. As dozens streamed through the gates, onto the platforms, and into the different subway cars, cops brutalized and arrested those few they could get their hands on. The people are undeterred and are committed to maintaining this form of mass action in the weeks to come.

An institution founded from the slave patrols past, the NYPD protects property and capital, it funnels black and immigrant populations into endless cycles of immiseration and poverty and modern enslavement. Our cities are under occupation: cop training facilities are flourishing all across America—we have one in our backyard near College Point Queens. These facilities advance and refine strategies of repression and counterinsurgency, so as to ensure that no mass action against oppression, incarceration, and depredation will be allowed to exist.

We must end this. Out of the homes and into the streets. Live free, ride free, fuck the NYPD.

New York IOF war criminal’s business defaced

Posted on by neversleep

Actionists have defaced the facade of the Historic Blue Moon Hotel, the family business of IOF soldier and war criminal Bram Settenbrino. Black paint was splattered on their doors and windows, as well as red triangles and the message “Baby Killer”. Settenbrino became known last month for publishing videos of himself firing indiscriminately at civilian infrastructure and a mosque in Gaza.

Actionists said, “This is a community-based approach to anti-imperialism. The genocide in Gaza may be happening across the ocean, but many of its perpetrators walk among us here in NYC. They should never have peace.

We take inspiration from the rich legacy of antifascism, of groups like Anti-Racist Action and the 43 Group–understanding that we have to act locally to make fascism obsolete globally. Where they go, we go.

Organize, research, map out the networks in which soldiers of imperialism pass freely between the frontline and the imperial core. Find them and give them hell.”

September 10 Black Bloc: Full Communique

Posted on by neversleep

Protesters in black bloc marched in NYC [on September 10] to demand an end to genocide, colonialism, & police states. Protesters chanted the names of Aysenur Eygi & Tortuguita & redecorated corporate property with anti-colonial artwork. NYPD cops later made multiple brutal arrests. Below is a communique released by some of the protesters:

 

When we revolt it’s not for a particular culture. We revolt simply because, for many reasons, we can no longer breathe.’ – Franz Fanon

To Kamala Harris and Donald J. Trump, your goals aren’t new, or the way you achieve your goals. It was always domination by brutality, by dividing and isolating, by dehumanizing and villainizing. Just look at how you treat our Palestinian siblings, how you bring those same colonialist and imperialist methods here, and begin to slowly implement them to oppress poor working class communities and the marginalized groups that make up those communities. You murder with our tax dollars, brutalize and kill those who are fed up with their oppression, and proclaim you’re the truth and law of the world.

Aysenur Eygi did not deserve to die, while not the first, we know she won’t be the last. Even though her death was at the hands of the IOF, the rifle and bullet they fired were made and supplied under the orders of Biden And YOU.

Kamala, you say nothing will change under your administration, but that isn’t up to you. If nothing will change, then we will make that change.

Trump, you’re what you’ve always been, a snake pretending to be a wolf. Your mask fell years ago, and the record is clear, you’re a scam artist, a con-man, and a wannabe fascist dictator. We will let you know now, that your fascist movement will break against our shield walls, and crumple in our city’s streets.

Meanwhile, corrupt mayor Eric Adams and his allies cut community funding, line their pockets, and starve New Yorkers. We, this NYC black bloc, made up of revolutionary New Yorkers, will feed them.

In this city corporate greed reigns, and the interests of landlords, hedge funds, and the rich elites fuels every crisis. They’ve spent decades militarizing the NYPD, building cop cities, sending them abroad to train with the IOF, investing and donating mass surveillance tech, pushing budget cuts, and funding every other piece of their police state. All on the dime of poor working class New Yorkers, and all of it to keep your fellow New Yorkers brutalized, isolated, starved, and exploitable. Manipulating us to blame migrants, and to bring back the militarized ICE into our neighborhoods, all while turning our precious city into a personal playground for the rich and powerful, inevitably ending with the destruction of our communities, the dispossession of its people, and their displacement. Leaving cheap pockets of labor to exploit and cater to their every need.

But no more!! We call on all New Yorkers to join us in the streets, to take action like we have, and put an end to this police state, this corrupt administration, the corporate greed, and the suffering so many of us have endured by their hands. To Eric Adams, his admin, the NYPD, and their financial and political allies, the Feds are encircling, they smell the rats nest, and so do we. Even if they don’t stop you, the people are waking up, we’re rising, and we’ll be prepared to drive the final nail.

For Community
For Gaza
For Liberation

Against Colonialism
Against Police States and Cop Cities
Anywhere

Fuck ICE and the NYPD
Solidarity to the Resistance Everywhere

Call to Action: Mass Fare Evasion in Response to Police Shooting

Posted on by neversleep

NYPD PIGS SHOOT 4 PEOPLE—INCLUDING A FELLOW PIG—AFTER ONE MAN EVADES MTA FARE

STATE-SANCTIONED MURDER OVER A $2.90 TICKET

RESIST PIG VIOLENCE! STOP COP NATION!

FARES ARE FREE. DON’T PAY. JOIN US IN MASS FARE EVASION. TAKE OUR CITY BACK FROM THE PIGS.

LET REPRESSION BREED MORE RESISTANCE.

ALL ZIONIST, POLICE & SURVEILLANCE INFRASTRUCTURE ARE LEGITIMATE TARGETS. 🔻🔻🔻

Just four days ago, Governor Kathy Hochul praised the National Guard for their presence in subway stations. Her celebration of increased pig pollution—including random bag checks—and her proposed legislation banning masks on the subway have been part of the state’s effort to repress protests for Palestine in NYC. However, the escalated policing of public transit is not only a war on activists, but on ALL New Yorkers, whose lives are endangered by increased exposure to the scourge of COVID-19 and trigger-happy pigs on their daily commute. MAKE NO MISTAKE: FASCISM IS ALREADY HERE IN AMERIKKKA.
