New Years Noise!!!
against prisons and the world that needs them!!
December 31st, 2010 - 6pm
Meet at the Safeway parking lot, at Commercial & Broadway
Prison has long been the logical conclusion for the poor, and generally those who refuse to submit to the mudanity of life within capitalist society. As Anarchists or as workers we find ourselves in conflict with a conspiracy of the state and capital to lock us up and maintain control over our daily lives. Ironically, our comrades regularly find themselves being accused of conspiracy, as they organize in opposition to G20 summits, and capitalist mega-projects wherever they reside. The state has made it clear that if we are not willing to accept a world of surveillance cameras, terrorism hysteria, police on every street, and the daily grind that leaves us in poor health, and with little or no time to build relationships that break through the expected racism, and misogyny of our society; that they will kidnap a few of us to make examples out of. Indigenous warriors like Harriet Nahanee are punished with death for standing in their way, and refusing to accept the courts’ authority. Migrants fleeing unlivable circumstances, likewise are imprisoned and labeled terrorists. Under the guise of “solving homelessness,” the Government can declare a state of emergency and turn the prison of life on the street and the prison of living in a slum hotel, into the prison of a psychiatric institution.
New Years Eve has become a day of action against prisons around the world, this year a callout was made for these types of actions in North America. The callout states, "in memory of those currently imprisoned, The Green Scare Prisoners, The Asheville 11, The anarchists arrested in Chile during the repressive round up of Sept 11th, Those arrest during the Toronto G20, Roger Clement".
It is in the spirit and celebration of uncompromising war with the prison system as a whole, and the world that needs it that we call for a demonstration against prisons on December 31st, 2010 meeting up at 6pm at Safeway Parkig lot (Commercial & Broadway).
We ask all to bring whatever banners, noisemakers, fireworks and ferocity they have saved away, to break down isolation in the prisons, and to show human creativity, in the face of the sterile controlled prison world!!!
