Submission
On the night of July 22 autonomous actors gathered in Center City to express their rage against borders. They took the streets. They marched for many blocks. Then they dispersed. Propaganda was distributed, trash got thrown onto the floor, some walls got themselves painted, and a police cruiser got itself vandalized. No arrests were made.
This demonstration was partly a response to the protests that have taken place over the last two years. We hope it showed that a protest may be called in the middle of the city in a way where the police cannot respond adequately. All that needs to be done is for the invitation to be shared in channels that are not being actively monitored by the police.
Borders will always be a way of controlling an inequitable distribution of capital, labor, and commodities. Borders will always be cruel and inhumane regardless of whether there’s a white or black president in charge. Peace under a state that is snatching people out of their homes and streets and sending them to concentration camps is another way of saying “collaboration”. Peaceful “resistance” in these conditions is little more than moral posturing.
No one is coming to save us. The time to act is now.
Sincerely,
Abolish ICE & Fuck the Police
