Multiple cities (Indonesia): Days of Solidarity

From Palang Hitam Indonesia

11 Juni adalah hari solidaritas internasional untuk tahanan anarkis, diseluruh negara anarkis telah menjadi sasaran represi karena dianggap sebagai ancaman bagi tatanan yang berkuasa. Sudah tak terhitung jumlah anarkis yang harus direnggut kebebasannya oleh negara, polisi, dan penjara. Sebagai seorang anarkis, meninggalkan rekan yang terpenjara adalah sebuah penghianatan, termasuk kami di Indonesia. Beberapa kelompok dan individu di beberapa kota di Indonesia turut serta dalam hari solidaritas 11 Juni tahun ini, berbagai cara telah dilakukan sesuai kemampuan dan keinginan masing masing. Mungkin terlihat remeh dan tidak berarti, namun solidaritas sekecil apapun bentuknya adalah sebuah sikap kepedulian terhadap para rekan yang masih terus terkurung hingga saat ini.

Kami mengirim solidaritas untuk seluruh tahanan anarkis diseluruh penjuru dunia, kepada para tahanan anarkis Makassar (Supriadi, Anto, Haerul, Alif, Agus, dan Farudin), para tahanan anarkis di Tangerang (Rio, Aflah, Rizki, Yovi, dan Erje), serta ratusan tahanan politik Papua dan Maluku Selatan yang tidak bisa kami sebutkan satu persatu karena terlalu banyak. Nyala api untuk semua penjara, tak ada anarki tanpa penghapusan penjara!

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA): Cameras sabotaged

On June 11, international day of solidarity with anarchist prisoners, as a small act against policing and imprisonment we cut the wires of nine security cameras in a concentrated area. We want to remind prisoners that they are with us in the struggle against white supremacy and police.

Let’s keep things conflictual, forever fuck cops, towards a world with no prisons!

Cincinnati, Ohio (USA): Info sharing & security culture training

With the pandemic canceling Cincinnati’s benefit event, most June 11th activity this year was via online, reminding peers to visit the website and consider options for solidarity. Coincidentally, a fairly elaborate Security Culture training session happened this day, by/for many local activists involved in demonstrations against the police in recent weeks. Prisoner support literature given out, and summary of the June 11th campaign, helped bridge relevance of this annual effort to actions currently raging in the streets.

Revolutionary greetings, it’s Big Jerm. I’m doing this video message to commemorate June 11th, the International Day of Solidarity with Long Term Anarchist Prisoners.

In this June 11th podcast special, we’re happy to feature two interviews. The first is with Letha, a supporter of anarchist prisoner Marius Mason who is 7 years from release for animal and earth liberation front actions in the late 1990’s. Marius, who tested positive for covid-19 recently at FCI Danbury, continues his activism including on behalf of other trans folks behind bars as well as to write and create. More on his case and how to support him is up at SupportMariusMason.org. Then I spoke with Jeremy Hammond who is an anarchist prisoner supported by June11th for hactivist activities in the early 2010’s as a member of Anonymous and other crews that released information to WikiLeaks to expose corporate and police spying and abuse and war crimes, as well as supporting whistleblowers in the Global War on Terror like Chelsea Manning. Jeremy also recently resisted a Federal Grand Jury around WikiLeaks with Chelsea Manning, he contracted covid-19 recently, and currently produces a podcast with his brother, Jason, called Twin Trouble which is in the Channel Zero Network. More on Jeremy’s case at FreeJeremy.Net.

June 11, 2020 statement from Marius Mason’s lawyer, Moira

Marius was unable to write a statement for this year’s International Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason & All Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners.  Marius’ attorney wrote beautiful statement in his stead.  Please read below:
 
The other day when I spoke to Marius on the phone he was dealing with worries ranging from uncertainty about whether or not he might be immune to COVID-19, to the national BOP lockdown. And still! He was so focused on the well-being of everyone out here. He was very worried about me — whether I was getting enough rest, whether he was bothering me at a time that I needed to be talking to other clients. He was worried for the protesters suffering at the hands of law enforcement and the black and brown people trying to live their lives under a regime of daily violence and indignity. He expressed so much love for the people agitating for an end to white supremacy. “Racism is the poison at the heart of America,” he said. “Everybody knows it, and this is the conversation we need to have.”
