Louisville, KY – Breonna Taylor’s home was the finish line for a 731 mile walk that ended just days before Christmas. Lavish Mack started the 7-week “Journey to Justice” on Oct. 31 at the intersection where George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis. Providing constant updates on social media throughout his cross-country hike, Lavish says his reason for the walk was to raise awareness about the hundreds of police killings that don’t make national headlines.

“Last year 1,007 people were murdered by police. How many do you know about? 10? Maybe 15? So what about the other 990 you never heard about?”

So-called USA. We have received the following call to action from a network of anti-border activists. In the wake of Trump supporters’ invasion of the Capitol building, opponents of authoritarianism must maintain momentum against all the oppressive policies that the Biden administration aims to preserve—keeping the focus on social change, rather than simply shoring up the status quo against fascists.

January 20 has a long history as a day of resistance to tyranny; this year, it makes sense to focus on the institutions of oppression that are spread around the country, rather than the ones concentrated in the nation’s capital.

Please circulate this call widely. To endorse this call or have the action you are organizing listed, email abolishice@riseup.net.

J20: Close the Camps

From “Build the Wall” to the Muslim Ban, Donald Trump’s administration made history as the most anti-immigrant presidency in living memory. Though incoming President Joe Biden promised throughout his election campaign that he will roll back Trump’s immigration policies, it is unlikely that he will fulfill that promise unless we compel him to.
