STATEMENT FROM 12 OF 61 RICO CO-DEFENDANTS: Anarchism Must Not Be Criminalized

Posted on 2023/11/10 - 2023/11/10 by bbnews

This statement was written before the Al-aqsa Flood, during which Palestinian fighters broke through the fence around the open-air prison known as the Gaza strip in 29 locations. We condemn Israel in the strongest terms, & support the liberation of the Palestinian people. We know that the same weapons and tactics that have been and continue to be used to colonize Palestine have been and continue to be used to colonize Turtle Island, as we can see in the GILEE Program (Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange) where the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) soldiers share “best practices” with police in Georgia. The proposed Cop City [in Atlanta] will be the military base from which the occupation of Atlanta is furthered, and we oppose their progression of the genocidal project known as the United States.

4 Targets Attacked for Palestine: BRB Part 4

Four Offerings

Heartbroken, raging, yet tenderly hopeful, we began a series of actions across multiple Bay Area cities in unconditional solidarity with Palestine. We attacked four targets, one financial, one military, one corporate, and one tech:

1.) Under the surveillance of Transamerica building security across the street, we smashed the windows of HSBC for maintaining business relations with more than a dozen companies selling weapons and technology to the Israeli military.

4.) Sneaking past their security, we drenched 8 Cruise cars with red paint for being a subsidiary of General Motors, which has offices in Israel and is invested in Mobileye, an Israeli self-driving car surveillance technology company.

White Flag: Giving consent only when it feels freely given.

Black Flag: Acting so that others do not feel coerced.

mhtac just had a skillshare—and we have to say, this was pretty cool for our first offical event, because we created trans community in downtown middleton for the first time. we taught each other how to make zines, compared notes on the heteronormativity of the suburbs, distroed resources, and generally were queer in a place that attempts to stamp out everything other than nuclear families with 2.5 children, small dogs, and houseplants they will inevitably kill. we know that we dream of more than suburban assimilation, and we’ve finally found others in middleton who share our anarchy. and we need reliable community, a network, a scene, a family. we need to queer public space while reveling in the collective realization that, even in the suburbs, we can still find the queerest of insurrections. (and yes, we are shamelessly imitating queer ultraviolence in this communiqué. sorry not sorry.)
