Cop car vandalized during DNC protest
from Mainstream Media
The Philadelphia Police Department would like to know who went all “Harold and His Purple Crayon” on one of their police cruisers during DNC protests Monday in South Philadelphia.
A photo of a Philadelphia Police SUV parked in the middle of a street with a long, squiggly line of red paint along the passenger’s side has been circulating around Twitter this morning.
Sgt. Eric Gripp, police spokesman, said the cop car was parked on the 1100 block of South Broad Street in Point Breeze, along one of the main protest routes, at about 2:30 p.m. When the officers went back to their vehicle 15 minutes later, they discovered the vandalism, Gripp said.

ALERT: Counter the Westboro Baptist Church at the Mazzoni Center 7/26
from Philly Antifa
When: 7/26/2016 @ 1:45 PM
Where: Mazzonni Center, 809 Locust Street Philly
What: Confront the Homophobic, Sexist and Racist Westboro Baptist Church and let them know they aren’t welcome in our city.
The Westboro Baptist Church has announced plans to protest outside The Mazzoni center briefly during the DNC. Several counter protests have been called, and we are encouraging Anti-Fascists in the city to take an hour to tell them to fuck right off.
The Mazzoni center has provided cheap and free medical services to LGBTQ people in the city since 1979. That is something that should be celebrated; not protested. Join us in letting Westboro Baptist Church that they aren’t welcome in Philly (or anywhere) and that no one is intimidated or impressed by their circus act.
Queers Bash Back.

Frank Rizzo Mural in Philly Tagged With Anti-Police Graffiti
from Mainstream Media
In 2012, the Italian Market’s giant mural of former Mayor Frank Rizzo was tagged with graffiti calling him a fascist. Today there’s a new tag that says, “F*** Racist Pigs. End Cops 4eva.”
Rizzo was mayor of Philadelphia from 1972 until 1980. Prior to that, he spent four years as Police Commissioner. His entire career was controversial, and many people—not just the painters who recently vandalized the mural—believe he had racist and fascist tendencies.

Black DNC Resistance March against Police Terrorism and State Repression
from Facebook
The Philadelphia Coalition for REAL Justice presents:
Black DNC Resistance March against the Capitalist & Racist Government: We Have Nothing To Lose But Our Chains!!
The Democratic Party has consistently betrayed their promises to the Black community and the 2016 presidential election is not going to be any different. The presidential election is the largest electoral process in the country, and the Black community can no longer watch a few control the lives of many. Black communities have been underfunded for centuries. Black communities are under siege with militarized police terrorism, assault and murder; public schools are underfunded and do not properly educate our children; economic development means black displacement through gentrification; prison privatization and the school to prison pipeline; raising the minimum wage to a living standard; the right to proper access of quality healthcare, food, shelter and the essential means of life; protection and inclusion of the LGBTQ community, as well, the releasing of all political prisoners and the right to self-determination and control of our communities. This can only come from the unification of our voices, understanding the intersectional connections, education and support of one another and not the democratic process.
Philadelphia is a historically Black city, as well as the birth of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Both documents have kept the Black community subjugated. The American political system was organized and created by white men who supported and upheld the enslavement of Black people. These documents continue to function under the order of white supremacy and neo-liberal reformists politics. Black liberation cannot occur in a reformist society. White supremacy must be abolished and Black liberation must become a priority.

Doylestown, Pennsylvania: Solidarity With The Teachers and Residents of Oaxaca! Keep The Fire Alive!
from It’s Going Down
We dropped a banner over a busy bypass outside of Doylestown, Pennsylvania. The banner reads “Solidarity with the teachers and residents of Oaxaca! Keep the fire alive!”
Today marks two months since the National Coordinating Body of Education Workers (CNTE) began the strike on May, 15. The teachers and residents of Oaxaca continue to fight against neoliberal educational reforms implemented by Enrique Peña Nieto. Since then, the Oaxaca community has faced fatal state repression and discrimination. We stand in solidarity with our compañerxs who continue to fight on the barricades. We extend our love and commemoration to the ones we have lost. Wherever we may be, we stand with you.
