📢For those looking for a way to help in the 815: there are a ton of local demonstrators still facing felonies and misdemeanor charges for opposing the abuse and injustice at the hands of local enforcement and they’re still very short on their legal fees. If you’d like to donate:

There won’t be revolution without coordination between rural areas, small cities and the metropolises. More anarchists in the United States need to understand this fact and act according. Strategy necessitates building in the areas in between.

Just FYI, noise demos are part of a long history of prison abolition organizing. We turn up for the people inside on nye. So they know that we know that they are still here. We take a moment to pause at the jail. At the site of so much violence. The noise is meant to bring us >

The resources in your neighborhood should be controlled by your neighborhood.

[Black Socialists in America (BSA) @BlackSocialists]

Informal hierarchies will develop in movements for systems change, but there should be zero tolerance for attempts to gatekeep in these movements.

Be skeptical of those taking on “organizer” or “activist” as an identity under broader organization and then expressing entitlement.

[815 Mutual Aid Network @mutualaid815]

We can't express enough how important it is to build radical communities and cultures of resistance to the State in Rockford. The NYE noise demo is important as it represents a shift of the movement beyond just reactive mobilization towards long term movement building. All out!

stop voting cops into office and being surprised when they do cop like shit

[RailroadedUnderground @RailroadUnderg1]

A vaccine should not be an alternative to release but a supplement to mitigate the immense harm that has been inflicted against us incarcerated. America is continuing its murderous legacy with the #COVID19 deaths rising daily in prisons along with executions being carried out.

[815 Mutual Aid Network @mutualaid815]

We are not the originators of this call to action! However, we support it as an abolitionist organization! There’s going to be a Noise demo outside of the jail on January 31st...come out!

[815 Mutual Aid Network @mutualaid815]

Mutual aid is a revolutionary practice, not a start-up idea to boost your career. Our collective receives emails regularly from non-profits and other groups trying to profit off of the mutual aid movement as they only understand it as charity.

@butchanarchy Protesters in Rockford, IL are facing trumped up charges for speaking out against the corruption & state violence in the 815. You can donate to the rockford political repression legal fund @ https://t.co/rNoEDIbaMj or $citymarketdefense on cash app ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

[Rockford Youth Abolitionists @RYAbolitionists]

Be careful, comrades ✊🏾

[Rockford Youth Abolitionists @RYAbolitionists]

Mutual aid is so invaluable in our communities. It’s so important that we take care of our own & work on creating these networks that’ll replace the current systems. We’re so thankful for our comrades who’ve provided more (and more direct) care to our community than local orgs.

[pocket change pools @pc_pools]

We are a mutual aid funding collective and we redistribute resources to further the efforts of other regional mutual aid organizations. Mutual aid is the work of meeting people's needs while simultaneously building movements that demand transformative change.
