15 CitiBank Locations Sabotaged

Posted on by neversleep

More than 15 CitiBankkk locations were sabotaged Monday morning across so-called New York City. We jammed the locks and card access readers, sprayed the windows and buildings, and issued warnings in red paint underscoring the company’s investments in genocide: “ABOLISH ISRAEL, FREE PALESTINE” and “THIS IS A WARNING: DEFUND NOW.”

CitiBank facilitates billions in bonds sales for Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, which manufacture missiles and fighter jets used by the IOF to kill hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza. CitiBank is also the largest U.S. bank operating in the zionist entity and heavily invests in the technology sector there, contributing to the “tech-washing” of apartheid, occupation, and ongoing genocide. From its shameful history in Haiti and apartheid South Africa to financing IOF arms and settlements, CitiBank has long profited from settler colonialism.

We call on all people to strike imperialism wherever and however you can. Close your accounts with complicit institutions and move your money to a local credit union. We must continue to escalate until there is full Palestinian liberation and return.Other tags included:🔻DEATH TO KKKORPS🔻CITIBANK FUNDS GENOCIDE🔻DIVEST FROM GENOCIDE

Sharp metal objects placed under Brooklyn NYPD SRG’s personal vehicles

Posted on by neversleep

Late July 24, we entered the parking area of NYPD’s Strategic Response Group in Brooklyn and put sharp metal objects under multiple pigs’ personal vehciels. Any of those pigs getting off work would have been met with the unpleasant surprise of punctured tires as they started for home.

This happened on the same day the NYPD sent 200 outside agitators to DC to protect genocidal war criminal Netanyahu and the U.S. imperialist mission.

Maybe cops shouldn’t feel safe enough in our city to spread their violence elsewhere. Why does the NYPD even have offices from Tucson, Arizona to Bogota, Colombia?

The SRG is the unit notorious for violently repressing protestors. These pigs sign up voluntarily to be SRG to crack skulls. This is payback for their brutality against Palestine protestors and student encampments.

We targeted their personal vehicles because it is time they faced a personal cost for their actions. These pigs walk among us, feeling safe and complacent. It’s on us to teach them they aren’t.

The Legal Aid Society stated NYC paid out $114,586,723 million for police misconduct in 2023. These lawsuits for pig brutality don’t come out of their pockets. And the NYPD has so much money they are spending $1390 per patrol car just to replace a slogan decal.

We must chip away at empire in every small way. Avenge the Palestinian martyrs. Avenge Sonya Massey. Fuck the police.

Vigil for Gaza Martyrs Held in Bay Ridge

Posted on by neversleep

Yesterday, we held a vigil for the martyrs of Gaza in Bay Ridge. Members of the community, children, families, and elders joined us in reading the stories of prisoners and martyrs and the injured, in prayer, and in grief. The NYPD made their presence known; one of their drones hovered overhead recording us.

We had nothing to hide, we are proud of our struggle, as we are of all who fight against imperialism and occupation. But the question remains: Why is the NYPD surveilling the Arab and Muslim community of New York in this way? Why have we allowed this racist dehumanization to go unchecked?

What does it say about the priorities of this city, of this country that they have marshaled all the repressive arms of the state against communities who demand a better world, free of oppression and mass murder? Last year, the NYPD was caught proposing to use surveillance drones against block parties in majority black neighborhoods of this city. Also last year, Mayor Eric Adams suggested he would begin an import collaboration with Israeli drone technology companies.

The ruling class is disfigured by their hysteria and fear. They know the entire artifice that they have built risks tumbling down at the hands of the rage and grief of the city’s working class. This is why they try to stop us and this is why we refuse to be stopped.

At the end of the vigil we prayed Salat al-Gha’ib funerary prayer together as a community. It was a chance to recommit to a struggle that has not been defeated for more than 100 years. Those who joined us are the real city—beneath the gentrified neighborhoods and militarized public spaces and money laundering charities and prisons, they demand for something more.

Flood CUNY for Gaza / NYC Week of Rage

Posted on by neversleep

🚨 Flood CUNY for Gaza! 🚨

🇵🇸  FBI: Most Wanted, a CBS show, is filming a fake encampment at Queens College to demonize the student intifada and manufacture consent for the genocide of Palestine.

🗓️  MONDAY July 22nd
⏱️  5:30pm
📍  CUNY Graduate Center

CUNY4Palestine, Within Our Lifetime, and National Students for Justice in Palestine call for a Week of Rage to protest the filming of an FBI: Most Wanted episode at CUNY Queens College featuring a fictionalized Gaza Solidarity Encampment scene, complete with tents, a “chase and arrest” scene, and a mock-explosion.

This is a clear attempt to simultaneously demonize and profit from the Student Movement against the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. This episode obfuscates the concrete demands of the Student Intifada: our universities must divest from settler colonialism and genocide and cut all ties with Israeli academic institutions.

Just two weeks ago, The Lancet revealed the shocking estimate that 186,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza by direct fire, enforced starvation, and rampant spread of diseases.

In the face of the accelerating atrocities in Gaza, and rising fascist repression across Turtle Island, we must continue to organize and mobilize for an end to the genocide and for a free Palestine, from the river to the sea.

July 4 Smashing/Painting Attack on Magellan Aerospace

Posted on by neversleep

This “Independence” Day, Palestine Action NYC strikes Magellan Aerospace in Corona, Queens, who makes F-35 jet parts for Lockheed Martin to bomb Palestinians and flatten entire neighborhoods in Gaza.

GENOCIDE PROFITEERS OUT OF QUEENS!

We must escalate for Gaza. This is just the beginning. Protests are not enough. Empty calls for the dismantling of the system are not enough. In our capitalist society, we must strike them where it hurts them most: their wallets.

Sabotage and Disruption at Puma Flagship Store

Posted on by neversleep

Sunday afternoon, an autonomous group compromised business as usual at the flagship puma store on 5th avenue in New York City.

Two massive concrete dumps were taken in the bathrooms, bleach was discretely applied to merchandise making it unsellable, and 1,000+ crickets were released in the store to de occupy the space for weeks to come- all during peak shopping hours.

puma has long been known as a supporter and enabler of the Zionist israeli settler state. Despite years of pressure, puma still sells its goods in illegal israeli settlements. This genocide rages on, and puma profits off of stolen Palestinian land. Not on our watch.

We want the world to know how this self-proclaimed champion of international athletic solidarity is directly invested in the deaths of Palestinian athletes. We act in solidarity with the more than 200 Palestinian sports clubs who have called on puma to stop their support for israeli apartheid. We act in solidarity with Palestinians who today play soccer and other sports as a form of resistance. The Palestinian spirit will never be crushed. puma will be.

Fuck Puma.
Fuck empire.
Glory to the martyrs.
Escalate for Gaza.
Tiocfaidh ár lá.
