While the Iron is Hot: a workshop on the ongoing prison strike

  • September 4, 2016 12:54 pm

from Facebook

A nationwide prison strike is beginning on September 9. Movement for No Society is offering this workshop to consider prison strikes in context of the struggle for liberation today.

Presenters will give report backs on the events and organizing that led up to the strike, followed by a discussion on the following questions:

▲ What are some ways to get involved and contribute to this struggle?
▲ What is the history of similar prison actions?
▲ How have prison uprisings in the past decade contributed to making prisons a focal point of the struggle against white supremacy and capitalism?
▲How can we be thinking about anti-prison organizing beyond the prison abolitionist framework that’s currently getting mainstreamed?

We invite people to share their experiences with agitating/ organizing against prisons as well as their ideas for moving forward.

Email Encryption with PGP

Next episode of our Digital Self Defense series is a hand on workshop on PGP email encryption. We think all email should be encrypted by default and that it should be easy and straight forward. Unfortunately it’s not always. So we’re here to help :).

This workshop will focus on getting Open PGP (GPG) set up with an email client.

Learn how to use PGP encryption to communicate securely with your friends, comrades and organizations!

We will briefly go over the basics of email encryption and then get straight into installation. We’ll be using Thunderbird, Enigmail and GPG, the open source implementation of PGP email encryption.

Bring your laptop loaded with Linux, OS X or Windows and we’ll do our best to see you leave with a working encryption setup! Please download /Install Thunderbird and Enigmail to get a good head start.

Planning Mtg – Philly #NoDAPL Solidarity / Tues 9/6- 7PM

  • August 31, 2016 9:41 pm

from Facebook

Things are escalating in Standing Rock and we need to unify, act now!…so if you are in Philadelphia region, come join us.

LOCATION: 720 5th Street, #311 – buzz to let you in.
Time: 7PM

GENERAL GOALS:
– Plan Upcoming Actions
– Trip to DC!?
– Review Logistics – Media/PublicRelations/Contacts/Fundraising..etc
– & anything else we may need to check in or table it.

MORE INFO:
The Dakota Access pipeline would transport over 500,000 barrels of oil each day across four states. It would cross the Missouri river twice. One crossing occurs half a mile north of the Standing Rock Reservation, at a location of great cultural significance. Pipeline failure is an eventuality, and the Standing Rock Sioux would be the first hit by the tainted water supply (some 10 million down river would also be affected).

A large grassroots campaign killed the northern leg of the KXL pipeline and we can do it again! While many of us are unable to travel to North Dakota, we can still support their struggle with donations and by organizing solidarity rallies. Solidarity rallies send a clear signal: you are not alone and your message is resonating far and wide.

Eric McDavid at the Wooden Shoe

  • August 8, 2016 11:38 pm

from Facebook

Eric McDavid is a green anarchist who was entrapped by an FBI informant and charged with a single count of conspiracy to use fire or explosives to damage corporate and government property.

After serving nearly 10 years in prison his judgment and sentencing were vacated when it became known that the FBI had failed to disclose potentially exculpatory evidence to the defense. Eric pleaded guilty to a lesser charge that carried a 5 year maximum sentence. He was released almost immediately.

Come hear Eric tell his story.

Presented by Burning Books. BURNING BOOKS is an artist-run, weirdness-driven organization dedicated to the production and publication of unmuzzled literature, music, and art. It was founded by writer/editor Melody Sumner Carnahan and artist/designer Michael Sumner in Oakland, California, in 1979.

Event is handicap accessible and free, though donations are very appreciated, as Eric is traveling all the way from Northern California with almost no funding.
