These men were organizers. They believed in Black liberation and Caribbean self-determination. And they were made an example of.

Today, three remain behind bars:
🔗 Hanif Bey (Beaumont Gereau)
🔗 Malik El-Amin (Meral Smith)
🔗 Abdul Aziz (Warren Ballentine)
VIRGIN ISLAND 3
in 1972, five black activists in the US virgin islands were arrested for the killing of eight people at a golf course in st croix - a tragedy now known as the fountain valley massacre the five were convicted after a trial riddled with injustice - forced confessions, denied legal counsel and a jury stacked against them. many believe it was a gov't crackdown on rising black liberation movements and anti-colonial organizing in the caribbean 

one of them, ismael ali, later hijacked a plane to cuba and escaped US custody. another, raphael (kwesi) joseph was pardoned and died mysteriously after it was said that he was about to reveal evidence that would have exonerated at least one or more defendant. 

all the men were known supporters of the virgin islands independence movement the three who remain behind bars today are known as the

Every flag is black in a fire!

"The black flag means negation, anger, outrage, mourning, beauty, hope, the fostering and sheltering of new forms of life and relationship with this earth. We are proud to carry it, sorry we have to, and await the day when such a symbol will no longer be necessary."
🏴
Every Flag Is Black in a Fire
Louise Michel, André Breton, Jean Genet, and others reflect on the meaning of the black flag, the anarchist standard of rebellion and negation.

Reach out to Civil Liberties Defense Center cldc.org
National Lawers Guild www.nlg.org or you local ABC chapter for defense solidarity, DM us if you need us. 2/2
common tactics to watch for:
"we just want to talk"
"you're not in trouble"
"help us help your community"

don't fall for it. stay silent. ask for a lawyer. solidarity means silence

silence is not guilt
silence is protection 
for you. for your comrades. for your movement.

stay solid... if you're contacted by the FBI, stay calm, we got you!
here are some resources:

Today is the International Day against Police Brutality.

In Belarus, ironically, it coincides with Constitution Day. There were times when in the 2010s anarchists in Belarus held actions on this day, although we had yet to see the real rampant brutality in 2020 and after.

It's #PiDay – which means it's time for our annual report, Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie 🥧

Over the last year, US prisons & jails have locked up MORE people, growing the incarcerated population by 2%

But why? We answer that & bust the biggest myths of the carceral system🧵

The difference between Trump and an activist is that one is acting for selfish gain while the other is trying to create a more egalitarian society. This is the important question—whether our actions reproduce hierarchies or undermine them. Let's focus on that, not on whether a given action is legal.
