No Pride in AmeriKKKa

This 4th of July marked "independence" day in the USA. In Spokane Washington more than 80 people gathered to demonstrate against police brutality in what was promoted as the 2nd Annual March For Rights. The event was organized by a group called ASAP (Alternative Solutions And Possibilities), a newly formed anarchist group. Local cops used this patriotic holiday to attack the crowd which was peacefully enjoying a picnic, and arrested 18 people. Support needed!

Libertad para Daniel McGowan y todxs lxs presxs politicxs!

El 2 de Julio de 2007 Daniel McGowan va a ser trasladado a una carcel federal para empezar su sentencia de 7 anos. Daniel fue arrestado como parte de una ola de represión en contra de anarquistas y activistas ecologistas a lo largo de los EE.UU. una estrategia del estado que lxs activistas llaman "the green scare" (la amenaza verde)

Daniel estaba enfrentando una cadena perpetua por algunas acciones atribuidas a el ELF- Frente de Liberacion de la Tierra, la mayoria de lxs otrxs 'activistas' arrestadxs decidieron cooperar con el gobierno en contra Daniel y otrxs activistas para tener una sentencia menor. El 9 de Noviembre Daniel, Nathan Block, Joyanna Zacher, y Jonathan Paul decidieron declararse culpables por las acciones del ELF pero sin inculpar a nadie, ni testificar en contra de otrxs.

Todo esto ha tenido un efecto muy grave entre lxs radicales de Estados Unidos, por la represion, por lxs soplones y lxs "activistas" que podrian traicionar facilmente a un movimiento en defensa de la tierra y a sus amigxs.

En los anos que vienen tambien es importante apoyar a:
Daniel McGowan,
Nathan Block,
Joyanna Zacher,
Jonathan Paul, lxs que tuvieron el coraje de no decir nombres, ni inculpar a otrxs. Y tambien hay que apoyar Briana Waters que todavia esta enfrentando cargos por supuestas acciones del ELF.

Y lo mas importante es que hay que seguir luchando por la defensa de la tierra y todas las formas de vida.

La Huerta Orgasmika en peligro! / Community Garden in Danger!

Estamos muy tristes por escuchar que la huerta orgasmika una huerta communitaria magnifico en Buenos Aires esta en peligro de extinción:

"Hoy nos encontramos ante el peligro de DESAPARECER. Después de 5 años del desarrollo de la Huerta Orgázmika, el Gobierno de la Ciudad tiene dentro del proyecto de remodelación de la plaza Giordano Bruno (enrejada) su extensión, ya comenzando a colocar postes de madera que delimitan el espacio recuperado por la huerta. Terreno que anteriormente estaba abandonado por el Estado y donde se juntaban escombros y basura." leer mas.

Ahora hay gente acampando en la huerta para defenderla del desalojo.
Alto a la destrucción de la comunidad! La huerta vive!


We are sad to hear that the Orgasmic Garden of Caballito in Buenos Aires faces eviction.

"Today we find ourselves in danger of disappearing. After 5 years of developing the Orgasmic Garden, the city Government's plans to remodel Giordano Bruno plaza is... limiting the space used by the garden, land that was abandoned by the state where garbage and rubble gathered...

And why did we gather in the garden? To search for ways to interact free of smog (environmental, social, political,dogmatic, artificial, and car induced)to exchange and spread (dis)information, experiment and play...to organize activities (the acclaimed Food Not Bombs, a seed exchange) as well as workshops about sustainability, ecology, the environment, self managment etc..."

Supporters are currently camped out in the garden to defend it from eviction.
Stop the destruction of community, The garden lives!

Parade Without a Permit NYC

Last Thursday April 19th, Radical Queers, anarchists, critical massers and other lovers of liberty gathered at city hall to take action against the NYPD's new fascistic attempts to curtail freedom of expression as well as to pressure City Council speaker Christine Quinn (an out lesbian) to withdraw her support for this draconian legislation. The NYPD's new 'regulations' which amount to the cops writing new laws, say that any gathering of more than 50 people needs a permit and prior approval from the NYPD.

The parade without a permit left city hall park taking to the streets on Fulton street. Scooter cops violently pushed the march back on to the side walk twice before the march broke back into the streets right in front of Ground Zero. At this point the cops attacked, bashing the participants of the march. One man was punched in the stomach and then thrown to the ground amidst a flurry of kicks and punches. Two women were also dragged along the ground, one young woman lost her shoe and was kicked repeatedly by the cops.

The march then continued on to the west side park, where it regrouped and the majority of marchers went to provide jail support for those arrested. All were released on Friday morning. Lets continue the fight, we can't let the NYPD dictate what we can or cannot do in our city!!!

Strong Resistance and Repression in Colombia for Bush's visit.

Clashes broke out between Colombian militants (students, leftists, and anarchists) and the infamously brutal ESMAD (Mobile Anti Riot Squadron) in Bogota Colombia during US President George Bush's visit there Wednesday. Bank windows were smashed, and symbols of Colombian and US capitalism were attacked. At the NationalUniversity radicals fought off the ESMAD with Molotov cocktails, homemade bazookas, and rocks. Over 30 people are reported to have been arrested including anarchists and members of the Anarchist Black Cross.

The ESMAD is responsible for beating to death 15 year old anarchist Nicholas Neira during a Black Bloc on May 1st, 2005, as well as the deaths of many students and campesinos during demonstrations in the past two years.

Solidardidad con los compas de la ABC de Copenhague (Dinamarca)

por la CNA Venezuela:
En Copenhague la tensión sube.
La oficina de la Anarchist Black Cross (Cruz Negra Anarquista) fue desalojada por la mañana y detuvieron a toda la gente. Paralelamente por lo menos 5 proyectos alrededor donde la gente estaba alojada fueron atacados por la policía, todos los extranjeros (alrededor de 90) y habitantes fueron detenidos, incluso algunos espacios se quedaron abandonados tras el desalojo con las puertas abiertas…

Entonces hay una gran necesidad de seguir las acciones de solidaridad y si es posible venir a copenhagen. Aquí la situación para internacionales es difícil, en las calles algunas personas de hamburg fueron detenidos también ayer por la tarde cerca de su coche y la policía revisa las placas de los coches en sus comisarías y revisan especialmente si son extranjeros. En los medios dicen que quieren echar a los internacionales especialmente. La Anarchist Black Cross tiene un nuevo número de telefono: 004526563106

Los compañeros de ABC comentan que tiene problemas de personal por sus miembros detenidos, pero continúa trabajando y "no olvidamos a ningún detenido". ABC alienta a las familias a escribir a los detenidos. Deben enviar la carta con nombre completo y fecha de nacimiento del detenido a Postbox 701, 2450 København SV.
