From It’s Going Down
Our Camp is in danger from both Sunoco and the Police. The situation is developing rapidly and we need your support! Stay tuned for more updates and help spread the word about this camp.
With construction season upon us, Camp White Pine is digging in our heels to fight the Mariner East 2 pipeline in the Susquehanna Valley of central PA.
The Mariner East 2 is a 350+ mile long Sunoco pipeline project, comprised of two new pipelines starting in southeastern Ohio, and running through northern West Virginia and across the length of Pennsylvania. These lines will carry natural gas liquids (NGLs) like butane, ethane, and propane to an export facility along the Delaware River in Marcus Hook, PA.
Resistance to the Mariner East 2 is spreading, with impacted residents and organizers working in communities all along the proposed route. Sunoco Logistics has no regard for the beauty of Appalachia, the preservation of its diverse ecosystems and the safety of the people who live here.

Please donate to Philadelphia area residents who were wrongfully arrested during the January 20th inauguration protests in Washington DC. All funds raised will help pay for defendants’ legal fees, transit and housing costs.
This fund is being used to support people from the Philadelphia region who were wrongfully mass arrested during demonstrations in Washington DC on the day of Trump’s inauguration. On that day, Metro DC police attacked and cornered a large crowd of protestors with brutal, excessive force. Prolonged detainment and mistreatment over the course of 36 hours culminated in an evidence-less blanket felony charge on each of the 230 innocent demonstrators. These antagonistic actions by the state signal a dangerous intent to intimidate and discourage future protest from taking place. All charges should be immediately dropped, and the repression should end now.
Astronomical court and lawyer costs, as well as travel and housing expenses place substantial financial hardships on protestors dealing with baseless felony charges. Backing this fund not only supports those who were unjustly arrested, each donation is also an act of solidarity for those directly under threat from the police simply for their political affiliation and public expression of resistance. These cases will likely set a precedent for the way the Trump administration will handle protest throughout his four year term.
Your donation will directly assist those arrested by allowing defendants to alleviate the financial burdens imposed on them from court, lawyer, travel, and housing costs.

ABOUT:
—
Mothers Against METH Alliance (M.A.M.A.) out of the Pine Ridge Reservation in so called South Dakota has been fighting the Dakota Access Pipeline from the very beginning alongside with the RED WARRIOR SOCIETY. They are strongly building resistance to colonization in the many forms in which it manifests––in the Black Snake pipelines and addiction in both bodies and minds–wherever resource extraction is imposed onto their land and their people. They see the ways that colonization has attacked them, but as they state: “Our Warriors Are Strong, OUR ARROWS ARE SHARP.” —
—
Julz Rich — is the founder of Mothers Against METH Alliance (M.A.M.A.) out of Pine Ridge. She is a Lakota Grandmother who works to rid the presence of meth on the reservation. She also founded the MAMA camp at Standing Rock to provide shelter and safety for mothers and children at the camp. She and her loving family are fierce land-defenders who have resisted the first proposed tar sands mine in the (so called) U.S., on Ute territory/Utah. She organizes educational prevention workshops in schools and the community, exposes dealers and meth houses, and all night patrols to give youth safe rides home at night.
—
Victor Puertas — is a member of the Yagua nation in so called Peru. He is a fierce land and water protector who has been active in direct action mobilization against tar sands mining in Ute territory/Utah and has provided sustained solidarity to Lakota, Diné and other indigenous, anti-colonial and anti-border imperialist struggles.

Philly Antifa presents a fundraiser for the PHL Autonomous Anti-Repression Fund.
https://phlautonomousantirepression.wordpress.com/
“The PHL Autonomous Anti-Repression Fund is a resource for people in Philadelphia fighting against racism, cisheterosexism, and all other forms of control and exploitation. The state criminalizes actions that threaten to change the status quo, especially actions taken by already marginalized populations, people who are unaffiliated with activist organizations, and people going on the offensive to get free. We provide support for those actions in particular.
Building infrastructure to sustain resistance is especially crucial today, as those in power increase their efforts to shut down dissent and direct struggle. Your contributions to the PHL Autonomous Anti-Repression Fund will allow people to take on bolder and riskier actions in spite of ongoing state repression, and will help inspire and sustain effective action against domination and exploitation.”
$5 bucks, no one turned away but boneheads and similar shitstains. There’ll be food and drink for sale. If you can’t make it, the link above has other ways to donate.

LAVA Space is a community library and event space in Philadelphia where people meet, perform, create, collaborate and rise up. In our efforts to make the space as safe and as functional as possible, we’re raising money to fix it up a little. On January 28, noise rock geniuses Pinkwash will be playing a cypher for Philly MC’s Anili Mars, Kahlil Ali and Ronnie Vega. DJ Kilamanzego will also be rocking the house.
This will be the first of what we hope to be a monthly collaboration and fundraising event to make sure that LAVA can stay open, safe and available for everyone as a source of creativity and community.

FOOD! FRIENDS! READERS! VISUAL ART!
Bundle up your winter britches and come out to South Philly for food, readers, visual art and music!
This event will be an occasion for people to fill their bellies, meet or re-connect with each other, check out some visual art pieces, and listen to some next level readers who will open up perspectives and spark discussions about what’s to be done in the present moment as well as the immediate and long-term future. There will be an open mic at the end of the readings for people to present their writings or thoughts, either prepared beforehand, in response to the readers, or thought up on the spot.
There will be food with vegan and gluten-free options. Just bring some money$ – no one will be turned away for lack of funds but there is a suggested donation of $5+ which will go toward legal fees for anti-inauguration protesters on January 20.
This is the first of what we hope will be more events which will take place both here and in other places across the city.
Food and art reception begins at 11am, readings start at 1pm sharp.
We unfortunately live in a world where this does not go without saying: This event will be held in a safer space – ableism, homophobia, misogyny, racism, transphobia, and other oppressive language or behavior will be confronted and their vessels booted.
Accessibility: Everything will take place on the first floor, which has a bathroom. There are two steps into the front door and people available to assist folks who need help getting in. If you have a question or feel that something more should be mentioned here, feel free to message a host! ♥
[January 14 11am to 4pm, readings at 1pm South Philly contact january14benefit@gmail for address]

In today’s increasingly dark political climate, it is more important than ever to directly support people taking risks and going on the offensive against the misery of everyday life, whether as part of a broader political strategy or for reasons of everyday survival and self-defense. The PHL Autonomous Anti-Repression Fund aims to offer a safety net for people in Philadelphia who are limited in their ability to act because they lack resources for bail and other fees if something goes wrong.
This anti-repression fund is part of a broader project of building informal networks of care and resistance outside of non-profits and other organizations, which all too often have their own constraints about what they can and can’t support. We aim to support people and activities that are criminalized by the state while also unsupported by formal activist organizations and the mainstream public. The actions we support will not necessarily be planned, “political,” or contain a palatable message.
All donations to the anti-repression fund will go directly towards paying bail, bond, legal and/or medical fees following arrest. Your contributions will encourage and embolden people to do what they need to do to try to get free, knowing that other people have their back.
Please donate if you can, and spread the word!!
Donate directly via paypal: phlbailfund@riseup.net

The Wooden Shoe is turning 40 years old! Come celebrate with us!
Wooden Shoe Books and Records first opened in December 1976. 40 years and two different locations later, the Shoe is one of the oldest radical bookstores in the country and continues to be run by a dedicated, all-volunteer collective.
On Wednesday December 7th, we are having a birthday party! We are inviting all staffers from the past, present, and future, along with our customers and supporters to come out and commemorate this milestone.
In this political moment of increasing authoritarianism, spaces like the Wooden Shoe are more vital than ever. Come have a drink or snack with us at Mom’s and help us continue well beyond our 40th year!
A percentage of the upstair bar sales will go directly to the Shoe. And we’ll have a playlist spinning for your listening enjoyment.
See you soon!
PS: Party starts at 9:00 and happy hour starts at 10:00.
