Zines by @creativenothing.bsky.social & @crimethinc.com

zine covers of "It's Safer in the Front" featuring a crowd of people running, and "A Call for New Lines of Conflict" featuring a photo of a burned lorie

BRABC will gather Sunday July 27th from 4-6pm at @firestorm.coop to discuss two zines, available now behind the counter at Firestorm for free on request. Texts for online reading or printing at brabc.noblogs.org/reading-group/
Starting in August, we'll start Orisanmi Burton's Tip Of The Spear.

URGENT Funds needed for protestors in TX facing serious repression givesendgo.com/SupportDFWProtestors

WHAT WE KNOW On the night of July 4th, local police arrested 10 people outside the ICE Prairieland detention facility in Alvarado, Texas. We don't know all of the circumstances leading to the arrests. We do know that popular outrage and resistance to deportations is growing across the country. The Trump administration has also consistently shown that it lies and distorts facts to advance their political narratives and justify the increase in brutal police action. givesendgo.com/Support DFWProtestors

The 10 people arrested on July 4th currently face severe state and federal charges aimed not only at ruining their lives but signaling an authoritarian criminalization of dissent and protest against ICE. Police have continued investigating and harassing defendants' loved ones and friends. Defendants have now been in jail for 5 days putting employment and housing at risk. givesendgo.com/Support DFWProtestors

IMMEDIATE ASK The DFW Support Committee needs to urgently raise at least $20,000 to cover legal fees and living expenses for all those arrested. Some defendants are still without legal representation because of the lack of funds. Others have rent that needs to be paid and children that need supporting. Please donate to the GiveSendGo fundraiser. The link is at the bottom of each slide. You can also help by holding fundraisers and sharing this fundraiser with family, friends, coworkers and through social media. Updates will be posted on the GiveSendGo fundraiser. givesendgo.com/SupportDFWProtestors

Support the legal defense of the 11 arrested related to the noise demo outside Prairieland ICE prison in DFW around July 4th, some facing state level terrorism charges:

Outside fam in Alabama laying out exactly what is going down inside St. Clair Correctional Facility:

"... psychological and physical abuse used as retaliation or control....
What is unfolding at St. Clair is not a matter of security or policy — it is a campaign of deliberate dehumanization."

Both zines are printed and available behind the counter at Firestorm if you ask for them, or find the pdfs at brabc.noblogs.org/reading-group/

This Sunday, join BRABC at @firestorm.coop from 4-6pm to discuss two zines relating to Palestine & prisoner support: “Consciousness Molded or the Re-identification of Torture” by Walid Daqqa; & “An interview with Orisanmi Burton” published on The New York War Crimes

IN THE WAKE OF THE Leaked SUPREME COURT DECISION TO OVERTURN Roe v. Wade, aNGER AND GRIEF SPILLED INTO THE STREETS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. FOR SOME, it was a MOMENT OF PROTEST. FOR OTHERS, Like HRIDINDU ROYCHOWDHURY, IT Became a FLASHPOINT THAT LED TO INCARCERATION. chist Black IN May 2022, HRIDINDU-AN ANARCHIST AND PHD SCIENTIST-ACTED IN PROTEST AGAINST WISCONSIN FAMILY ACTION, AN ANTI-ABORTION LOBBYING GROUP WHOSE BUILDING WAS DAMAGED IN AN ATTEMPTED ARSON. NO ONе was HARMED. THE WORDS SPRAY-PAINTED ON THE Wall Read: "IF ABORTIONS AREN'T SAFE, THEN YOU AREN'T either." THE STATE RESPONDED WITH SURVEILLANCE, DNA COLLECTION FROM a DiscaRDED BURRITO, AND EVENTUALLY FEDERAL CHARGES CARRYING A MANDATORY MINIMUM OF Five years. HRIDINDU PLED GUILTY AND TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS ACTIONS, FACING SENTENCING IN A SYSTEM THAT CRIMINALIZES POLITICAL RESISTANCE MORE HARSHLY THAN IT PROTECTS Basic RIGHTS. N IT PROTEC Let's Be CLEAR: THIS IS NOT JUST A STORY ABOUT PROPERTY DAMAGE. IT'S ABOUT a GOVERNMENT MORE invested in PUNISHING DISSENT THAN IN PROTECTING Reproductive FREEDOM. IT'S ABOUT SOMEONE WHO STOOD AGAINST THE VIOLENT ROLLBACK OF RIGHTS- AND WHO IS NOW FACING PRISON TIME FOR THAT RESISTANCE.

US HERE AT ABC SOUTH FLORIDA WOULD LIKE TOO UPLIFT AND BRING ATTENTION TO HRİDİNDU Anarc Cross ROYCHOWDHURY HRIDINDU is a vocal advocate FOR BODILY AUTONOMY WHO IS CURRENTLY IMPRISONED FOR STANDING UP aGainST SYSTEMS OF OPPRESSION. A COMMITTED PRO- CHOICE activiST, HRIDINDU HAS LONG FOUGHT FOR REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM, COMMUNITY CARE, AND LIBERATION FROM STATE VIOLENCE IN a WORLD WHERE SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER IS CRIMINALIZED, HRIDINDU'S CONTINUED RESISTANCE- Despite incarceration-is a POWERFUL REMINDER OF WHY WE MUST UPLIFT THOSE BеHIND BARS!

Write to and support political prisoner Hridindu Roychowdhury by writing him, adding to his commissary, uplifting his struggle

AFTER MORE THAN 3 YEARS, OUR COMRADE JOSEPH "SHINEWHITE” STEWART IS OUT OF SOLITARY!!! Help us raise $150 to get him some shoes, hygiene items, and phone time! Cashapp $mawmaw2007 with "for shinewhite" in the memo Swipe to read his update!

UPDATE & CALL FOR SUPPORT FOR SHINEWHITE After four-long years of being held in some of the starkest, quietest, and most sterile holes NCDAC has to offer, I was recently released to general population. I was transferred back to Alexander Correctional, where it all began. Of course, this was done with an objective. The administration hoped to bait me into reacting to officers' provocations; however, I didn't fall for it. The majority of my property was confiscated, but I stayed cool. I was transferred to Alexander on a Friday, and the following Monday I was placed in a car and emergency transferred to Foothills Correctional. Never before have I witnessed someone be transferred that quickly. Evidently, Alexander didn't want me there!!

CURRENT SITUATION Conditions here are somewhat better and other than being told not to bring my "revolutionary shit" here, I've been left alone. I've enrolled in school, been assigned to a janitorial job, and I was recently taken to Duke for a procedure to have cancer removed from my thyroid gland. I'm doing OK, but am in dire need of financial support, and this cannot solely be placed on the one individual who has supported me unconditionally throughout my struggles. Raising funds for me must be a collective effort. I am in need of shoes, phone and tablet time, and hygiene. And I would like to enjoy some real food. Any amount will help. Thank you in advance. I'm here, I'm alive, I'm struggling. Cashapp $mawmaw2007 "for shinewhite" in the memo

Fundraiser for anti-racist prisoner in North Carolina, Joseph "Shinewhite" Stewart, recently out of long term segregation and back in general population. Help Shinewhite get some shoes, hygiene items and phone credit!

Rafah no longer exists. This is part of Israel’s plan to permanently occupy Gaza. Israel has completely wiped out Rafah, turning a fifth of Gaza’s territory into a giant buffer zone. This is part of Israel’s plan to permanently remain in Gaza and ethnically cleanse its people.

Rafah no longer exists.

Israel has flattened an entire city to build a buffer zone and carve Gaza into military corridors.
This about permanent occupation and ethnic cleansing.
