Monday Feb 12th: Show some love to Debbie & Mike Africa for Valentine’s Day
from Philly ABC
MOVE members and partners Debbie and Mike Africa have been incarcerated since 1978, spending years apart from each other, their children and families and from our community. Right before Valentine’s Day, let’s show them a little love and send them a stack of letters so they know we are still fighting with them from the outside. We will also be sending out birthday cards to all political prisoners with birthdays in February– Veronza Bowers & Norm Lowry (the 4th), Kamau Sadiki (the 19th), Oso Blanco (the 26th), and Ana Belen Montes (the 28th). North Philly Food Not Bombs will provide a vegetarian dinner!
NOTE: AFTER THIS, LETTER-WRITING WILL RETURN TO 1st MONDAY OF EACH MONTH!
[February 12 from 6:30PM to 9PM at LAVA Space 4134 Lancaster Ave]
Rally Against the Rizzo Mural
from Facebook
Frank Rizzo’s legacy of brutality and bigotry contradicts the
“democratic, community-driven roots” from which Mural Arts’ mission to create “a city-wide conversation about history, memory and our collective future” stems. Frank Rizzo’s time as mayor of Philadelphia, during which he told his constituents to “Vote White” and attempted to run for a third term in office, was far from democratic or representative of the racially equitable future that Mural Arts claims to be working towards.
Far from promoting Mural Arts’ vision to make “positive changes within a community, such as enhanced unity and empathy amongst neighbors,” the Frank Rizzo mural is the most hated and vandalized mural in Philly.
Mural Arts spends more taxpayer money fixing this mural than on any other mural in the city.
Philadelphians should not have to pay another dime for this expensive commemoration of one of the city’s most notorious bigots. If Mural Arts truly believes in using public art to heal its community from trauma, it will find a way to take down this mural.
Join us on Tuesday to ask Mural Arts to take down this racist mural!
[February 6 from 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM at Mural Arts Philadelphia 1729 Mt. Vernon St]
