Robert Brooks should be alive. The verdict brought no justiceβ€”1 guilty, 2 not guiltyβ€”after a 31-minute killing caught on camera. Stand with his family + demand real safety. Join the statewide Day of Action: bit.ly/CNCNov182025

🚨 June 11 Movement Defense Day of Action 🚨

On June 11, consider learning about Marius Mason and other long-term anarchist political prisoners, hosting a public event, dropping a banner, throwing a fundraiser, and taking action to defend our movements for total liberation.

Pie chart titled: Only 8% of confined people are held in private prisons

Pie chart titled: Only 8% of confined people are held in private prisons

Private prisons are bad, but they’re a small part of the system.

Mass incarceration is driven by public policy & spending β€” choices made by YOUR elected officials.

Deal reached to end illegal strike by New York state prison workers, governor says New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has announced an agreement to end a wildcat strike that has roiled the state’s prison system for more than a week.

Allowing COs to throw more people into solitary does not leave anyone better off β€” and it’s beyond shameful that this negotiation was even on the table.

He didn't wear a suit, but he received a pardon and was treated better than Zelenskyy was.

Police routinely work with neo-Nazis to help protect them from counter-protesters and facilitate their freeway/banner demonstrations, like in #Ohio.

Here's police in #Austin fist-bumping neo-Nazi leader and in #Berkeley, police acted as security for a similar event. itsgoingdown.org/berkeley-pol...

Free Alex Stokes Journalist Alex Stokes Contompasis unjustly sentenced to 20 years for defending himself and others against Proud Boys.

Alex Stokes, a left-wing activist and journalist from Albany, is the sole remaining January 6 prisoner. He didn't attack Congressβ€”he got into a fight with Proud Boys at the NYS state capitol.

@eoinhiggins.bsky.social Thank you for the mention. Alex isn't some dangerous psycho, he's a nice guy who was trying to help others. He has many friends and supporters who are devastated about his sentence. You can read the court's decision on his appeal and more on our website. #freealexstokes
