Protesters Deface Police Memorial In North Philly To Demand Justice For Brandon Tate-Brown

from mainstream media

More than a dozen protesters rallied outside of the 35th Police District headquarters in North Philadelphia last week and used chalk to deface murals honoring fallen officers. It’s linked to a group calling for justice in a seven-month-old police shooting.

Video taken by an off duty officer shows protesters yelling at officers as they stand over the mural with chalk drawings scribbled on the ground and walls of the police district and on the murals of fallen officers John Pawlowski and Richard Lendell.

The words on the murals: “murderer,” “terrorist,” “traitor.”

Anti-Racist Summer Film Screening – Nästa Station Rönninge

from facebook

Since the murder of a young neo nazi skinhead in the Stockholm suburb Salem in December 2000, fascists from all over Europe has marched in his memory every year. In 2003 they gathered more than 2000 nazis, the biggest fascist march in Scandinavia since WWII. But they didn’t march without resistance. The antifascist movement tried out a wide range of tactics. In 2011 the nazis marched for the last time. This short documentary tells the story of how the antifascists tried to stop the Salem-march.

After the film there will be a short presentation about a similar event here in Philadelphia, the Keystone State Skinheads “Leif Erikson Day celebration”, which was started in 2007 and held every year (excepting one) until it was forced underground last year.

We will be asking for a small donation at the door but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. There will also be food and Antifa merch for sale.

This event is sponsored by Philly Anti-Capitalists and Antifa Philadelphia. All money raised will go towards those groups and A-Space.

[June 28 from 7pm to 8:30pm at A-Space 4722 Baltimore Ave]

“Dirty Wars is a focused, fascinating and frightening look at war in the 21st century, and a film you’re sure not to forget.” -Germain Lussier

Rush for details fed false police-shooting narrative

from mainstream media

Philadelphia’s top cop says a rush to provide the public details on a police-involved shooting led to a since debunked story that the victim was reaching into a car for a gun when he was killed.

Commissioner Charles Ramsey says Thursday that police were caught between the media’s demand for information quickly on last December’s shooting of Brandon Tate-Brown and the need for a thorough investigation first.

Surveillance videos and interview transcripts released Tuesday show Tate-Brown running around the back of the car toward the passenger side when he was shot. His family now accuses the police of lying about what happened.

But the officer told investigators he feared Tate-Brown was running to grab a gun in the car after struggling with police. The officer has been cleared of criminal wrongdoing.

Pack the court for the LAWNCREST 10

from facebook

Wednesday at 8:30am, be at the Criminal “Justice” Center, 1301 Filbert St., Philadelphia.

The “Lawncrest 10,” the ten activists arrested at a Police Town Hall meeting will be in court to challenge charges of “disorderly conduct.” We need your support to show Police Chief Charles Ramsey and the Philly PD that criminalizing legitimate protest is unacceptable.

In the face of growing police repression nationally against the Black Lives Matter movement, it’s more important than ever that we stand firm and will not let those in power trample on our first amendment rights to free speech.

Coalition to Abolish Death By Incarceration Launch

from facebook

Food! * Poetry! * Education! * Discussion! * Action!

Pennsylvania prisons hold over 5000 people serving life sentences without the possibility of parole. In PA, a life sentence means your natural life–it is a sentence that condemns you to die in prison – which is why many choose to call it Death By Incarceration.

We believe that sentencing people to Death By Incarceration is a violation of their human rights and an affront to the humanity of us all. That’s why Decarcerate PA, Human Rights Coalition PA, Fight for Lifers, and Right To Redemption are launching a campaign to end Life Without Parole sentencing in PA. Join us Saturday, June 6th to launch this campaign.

Saturday June 6th
Vineyard Church, 123 S. 51st St.
(51st and Sansom, two blocks from the 52nd street stop on the Market Frankford Line)
3:30pm – 6:30

November 7-8, 2015: 2nd Annual Torch Anti-Fascist Conference in Philadelphia

from Philly Antifa

This November 7th and 8th Antifa Philadelphia is proud to host the 2nd annual Torch Antifascist Network conference. The Torch Antifa network is comprised of autonomous Antifascist groups who share information and resources. We expose, oppose and confront Neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klan, Anti-migrant and Anti-Choice groups and individuals, as well as other bigots and fascists.

For more info on our analysis of fascism and our points of unity, as well as contact info for our chapters, go to Torchantifa.org.

We do not believe that these groups a small problem. Thousands upon thousands of act of violence and discrimination are perpetrated in this country by people who belong to these organizations every year. Thousands more by people who may not hold formal membership from fear or laziness but have similar beliefs. These cases are isolated and minimized as much as possible because the media has no interest in vilifying sexists or white supremacists the way they do Muslims, Black people and environmentalists.

In reality groups like American Freedom Party, Blood and Honor USA and the KKK recruit, train and embolden the “lone wolf” shooters, bombers and bashers. They also profit from it in money and privilege while injecting their racist, sexist and homophobic analysis into the mainstream political dialogue and making any sort of better world impossible.

The tactics of Torch and groups like us have proven effective time and time again for years all over the world for neutralizing our enemies organizing abilities and recruiting methods. Because Antifa represent another example of people power trumping state authority, specifically its desire to coddle racists and fascists, repression for Antifascists has become a normal expectation. This, partnered with the danger represented by the Fascists themselves, makes attending this conference all the more crucial.

We are calling on all Anti-Racists, Anti-Fascists and egalitarians to join us in Philadelphia this fall to Network and socialize and maybe get involved in Torch.

This conference will include both a public and private portion. The public portion will be open to all interested (no Fascists, obviously). More information on exact events will be released as the conference approaches. The private portion will be only for Torch Network members and potential members who have been vouched in. So crews looking to join the network should contact us via the closest chapter to you (contact info below) as soon as possible.

Housing is available to vouched Antifascists. Food will be provided at the public events.

If interested in attending the conference, send us an e-mail at PhillyAntifascists@gmail.com with “Torch Conference” as the subject line.

In Solidarity,

Antifa Philadelphia and the rest of the TORCH Antifa Network

SUPPORT THE DALLAS 6!
On April 29, 2010, six courageous African American prisoners in solitary confinement at SCI Dallas engaged in a peaceful protest against the widespread abuse, violence and torture by guards which they had witnessed, endured, and helped to publicly document. The abuse included food, starvation, urine and feces in their food, mail tampering and destruction, vicious beatings while electro-shock shields, taxers, fists, tear gas and pepper spray, medical neglect, use of torture chair, death threats and more. For being whistleblowers on this abuse, the state have charged these six men with rioting.

Cops, Class, And Race: How Police Protect the 1%

from facebook

As communities around the nation take to the streets in the ongoing movement against police brutality, the question of the police and their role in society has taken on new importance. With the police killing a Black person every 8 hours a movement is emerging that challenges the idea of who they protect and who they serve. The very origins of their institution is saturated with racism and violence. From their beginning as a force to quell strikes, urban riots, and the threat of slave insurrection they have always existed primarily as an enforcer for the 1% and a protector of their property. Join the International Socialist Organization for a discussion about the origins and function of the police and their relationship to racism, class and capitalism.

#PhillyisBaltimore: Philadelphia’s Response to the Baltimore Uprisings

from FTW, WTF

Written by: Trayvon Martin Organizing Committee (TMOC) and Action Against Black Genocide (AABG)

Baltimore has risen up following the police murder of 25 year old Freddie Gray. On April 19th, Freddie Gray died of spinal injuries sustained in the back of a police van following his racially biased arrest. Video of his arrest went viral, sparking riots and protests across Baltimore. After days of demonstrations, the six police officers involved in his murder have been charged by Baltimore’s State Attorney, Marilyn J. Mosby –- one officer with second-degree murder, and the others with assault and involuntary manslaughter. But here in Philadelphia, despite nearly weekly demonstrations and at least a dozen arrests, the police have yet to even release the names of the officers involved in the murder of Brandon Tate Brown, a black man shot by police during a car stop in Mayfair in December last year. Security footage of Brandon’s fatal encounter with police remains firmly in the hands of the PPD, while the internal investigation has cleared the officers of any wrongdoing and returned them to street duty. 1 As rage whips across the nation after yet another racialized police murder, those in Philadelphia continue to ask #WhoKilledBrandonTateBrown. The Philadelphia Coalition for REAL Justice, a coalition of activists and organizers forged in the heat of the Ferguson uprisings, called a march on Thursday April 30th in solidarity with the Baltimore uprising and the people claiming the streets there.

Cameras Snatched in Philly

from anarchistnews

On the night of May 3 a few surveillance cameras were taken down from the unfinished developments they were attached to in the Mantua neighborhood, just north of University City in Philadelphia. Removing plastic cylindrical cameras is not hard, grabbing and pulling down or using a long stick is enough to knock one down quickly.

As neighborhoods gentrify, policing changes as well, shifting to protect yuppies, students, and new businesses, always at the expense of the marginalized and exploited. Surveillance cameras are an encouraging nod to those who feel the police will protect them, and a reminder to the rest of us that the pigs are always just around the corner.

This fun and easy action may not have much impact by itself, but if this type of activity multiplies we can create pockets of opacity in otherwise gentrifying areas. The removal of surveillance cameras makes room for other, more damaging anti-gentrification attacks to be taken with less risk.

We’re more than excited to see that comrades have been attacking gentrification in West and South Philly.

Down with gentrification

Down with the prison society they build around us
