A Guide from Chicago Organizers

https://crimethinc.com/StandUptoICE

Are masked agents stalking your town, looking to kidnap your neighbors? Want to do your part to protect each other, but don’t know where to start?

This guide is based on the knowledge that an array of people have accumulated in Chicago over the past several months during “Operation Midway Blitz.”

anyways, tl;dr: what defines anarchism and how does it work?

thanks in advance! have a cookie 🍪

"Anarchism asserts the possibility of an organization without discipline, fear, or punishment, and without the pressure of poverty: a new social organism which will make an end to the terrible struggle for the means of existence,—the savage struggle which undermines the finest qualities in man, and ever widens the social abyss. In short, Anarchism strives towards a social organization which will establish well-being for all."

Even if they weren't organized as such the settlers still would continue their genocidal campaign, but it also further shows that at its core the United States, and the west as a whole, does not care about the sovereignty of *any nation* that isn't white, no matter their organization or level of wealth or literacy, or even if the United States Constitution was directly ripped from their own.

However, to be clear, I am NOT a pacifist and in the words of Nina Simone, I ain’t bout to be non-violent honey.

They’re killing trans women, particularly Black trans women, as they always have and will keep doing in increasingly horrific ways. No amount of protests will keep us safe. Cops definitely ain’t gonna keep us safe - over in Philly they beat and arrested 15 people at a pride event in the Gayborhood while the “official” city pride event was apparently costing $10 per person minimum.

They’re abducting racialized people off the streets and occupying entire US cities like DC and Memphis with the explicit goal of disappearing as many of us as they can, regardless of “citizenship”, visas, or anything else.

Black people are being actively lynched. Black CHILDREN in particular have been found lynched after being “missing”. I can literally go on Twitter or Facebook for less than a minute and discover a new lynching or murder of a trans woman.

We are especially being taken when we are alone, when others leave us alone, when others do nothing.

We have to be willing to protect ourselves and each other if and when needed. We need to get a lot more comfortable with ACTION not just words, with not turning away when we see something happening before we get caught up in it.

Will the person you saw and turned away from go missing?

Will they be dead next, or worse?

Even if you can’t stop it, can you get their name? Can you record it? Find their families?

It cant just be us fighting always, especially as things get worse. You have to start moving too.

“If you're American, you've almost certainly heard about how Indigenous reservations were and are located on whatever land the US doesn't want anyway. That they're just a way to whisk away undesirables until the land becomes useful to the US. That's the two-state solution.”

Two state solution is living side by side with people that tried to exterminate you with land theft genocide ethnic cleansing and settler colonialism When we say land back We mean all land stolen by settler colonizers Not just half of it to appease colonizers or respectability politics

“it’s worth mentioning that the proposal of a “two-state solution” is exactly what was offered to the Indigenous peoples of the Americas by European settler colonizers as a peaceful way to coexist.”
