OMNY MACHINES SMASHED, CAMERAS AND CARD READERS DISABLED AT MIDTOWN MANHATTAN STATION

We struck at the heart of midtown Manhattan where the State tries so hard to maintain their illusion of fascist control. We broke your pitiful OMNY machines, disabled your cameras, and glued your card readers right under Eric Adams and Kathy Hochul’s noses. We did our own subway maintenance with hammers, a little spray paint, and some super glue. Evade! Beat the fare! Fuck your $2.90! We reject the National Guard deployed in our city and subways. We reject the surge of NYPD in our subways and anywhere. We reject the State’s tax on free movement and fare enforcement that disproportionately targets Black and Brown communities. We reject the State’s fascist surveillance through OMNY and any new technology used to control the People.Fuck the Empire, Free Palestine! The same military, police, and surveillance tech they test out through genocide in Palestine they will also bring here to track, oppress, and lock us up. Borders are fake, and so are turnstiles. Join us in striking them down!

RE/MAX office vandalized

Posted on by neversleep

Early in the morning on Wednesday, March 27, pro-Palestine anarchists struck a RE/MAX office in Park Slope to commemorate Palestine Land Day, a day to resist against land theft and settler colonial policies. They covered the facade in red paint to show the blood on the company’s hands, sprayed the security cameras and jammed the locks to ensure that the office will not go on with business as usual.The real estate company RE/MAX was founded in the US, an empire predicated on settler-colonial land theft, and since 1995, the company has operated a franchise in “israel”. For over 10 years, RE/MAX israel has been selling homes to colonizers in israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, including Ariel, Ma’aleh Adumim, and Givat Ze’ev, generating millions of dollars in profits. The facilitation and profiting off of the displacement of Indigenous Palestinians by the israeli branch directly benefits RE/MAX LLC.Here in the “US”, RE/MAX also engages in displacement and gentrification, by inflating the cost of housing and property taxes in BIPOC and working class communities. RE/MAX and other complicit real estate agencies will continue to be targeted until they stop selling stolen land to settlers.

RE/MAX storefront splattered with red paint. Graffiti on sidewalk reads "GTFO WEST BANK".
