This city is killing us slowly. What’s it gonna take to make space to breathe? It’s gonna take us recognizing ourselves as a people. It’s gonna take new practices of logistics of care and protection of each other for us, by us: the Black Brown Indigenous & Migrant New Yorkers that bear the brunt of all the ways this city suffocates us in our lives. Who bear the brunt of all of its agencies and entities that are ALSO the police.

ITS GONNA TAKE US PRACTICING FREEDOM. THE PEOPLE FIGHT BACK!

From @ thepeople.fightback on Instagram:

We are tired of this. Tired of eviction notices and housing court. Tired of the shelter system. Tired of chasing the social worker. Tired of submitting paperwork. Tired of not qualifying. Tired of the waiting list. Tired of the bullshit job. Tired of the promises of a better job. Tired of the negative balance in our account. Tired of thinking of ways to get money and coming up short. Tired of the end of the month when rent is due. Tired of the groceries not lasting to the first of the month. Tired of the threat of ICE coming around. Tired of cops jumping out on us and humiliating us on the block. Tired of catching a summons or jail time or a bullet for not having train money.. WE ARE FUCKING TIRED.

After witnessing all of the hospital bombings israel has conducted in the past year, it is easy to forget how the US media worked so diligently to make us believe that they would never do such a thing after the occupation forces bombed Al-Ahli hospital nearly one year ago today on October 17, 2023. We in the US bear responsibility for this genocide as our government and mainstream institutions have been funding and manufacturing consent for the annihilation of our people.

Those of us in the belly of the beast, who continue to fund these atrocities with our tax dollars, must not normalize this violence. The time to act is now. Rise and Resist.

Clearly nowhere in Gaza is safe from the inhumanity of Zionist forces. These massacres are just the tip of the iceberg with countless more by the inhumane and cruel IOF who have murdered at least 186,000 Palestinians since October 7th 2023.

186,000 Palestinians have been murdered with bombs, theft of resources, an ongoing siege, forced starvation, brutalization, intentionally spread disease, destruction of medical facilities, and more. We know that the death of every martyr in Gaza is direct aggression from Zionist forces. 186,000 Palestinians murdered with our tax dollars in 280 days, is a figure that must urge us into rage. It tells us that we must struggle, fight, and escalate even harder for Gaza and for our martyrs. We must shut down every corner of this city that profits off genocide.

On July 18th, disrupt, rally, and escalate in smaller groups, all day and everywhere. Start alongside youth and students mobilizing at the United Nations at 11am onwards, and converge with WOL at Grand Central Station by the clock at 5:30pm.

He would go on to shine a light on the history of Palestinian dispossession and resistance through art, plays, novels, studies + political essays and join the struggle for Palestinian national liberation, where he served as a spokesperson and newspaper editor up until his death.

As we enter the 10th month of Israel’s genocide of Gaza, Kanafani’s words ring truer than ever: “The Palestinian cause is not a cause for Palestinians only, but a cause for every revolutionary, wherever they are, as a cause of the exploited and oppressed masses in our era.”

In NYC the NYPD budget is $11 billion a year. Right now the Mayor is trying to push through a $225 million Cop City training facility in Queens. $10 million a day of our taxes is taken from our pockets and sent to the zionist entity to carry out this holocaust.

In response the masses continue to rise up, to resist, and to fight back. From Gaza to Tulkarem to Jenin to Al-Quds to Lebanon to Yemen to everywhere people of conscience stand up and say “no more!”

UPDATE: ALL of our CUNY comrades have finally been released.

We are enraged by the brutal force and violence perpetrated by NYPD, SRG and CUNY PS. We ask you all to continue to call and email the CUNY administration and hold them accountable.

We need to press CUNY to advocate for withdrawing all charges against the protesters and to refuse to participate in the prosecution.

Not only is CUNY complicit in the genocide of our people overseas- but they are also directly responsible for calling the pigs to abuse and assault our people over here as well.

Our demands have always been clear and we remain principled in our solidarity. We do this for Gaza. We do this for Palestine. And with Rafah under a brutal siege and attack, there is nothing that can deter us from our goal to achieving liberation.

From the river to the sea, Palestine is almost free! ❤️‍???✊?
