Tw; police murder Around the same time the Derek Chauvin verdict came through, reports are that a 15 year old girl was killed by police in Columbus. This is why we will never get real justice in this system. https://twitter.com/10tv/status/1384627028582932480

What changed from the non-indictment of the officer who murdered Michael Brown to the guilty verdict in Derek Chauvin's case? Only this: that a powerful movement stopped seeking reform through the institutions and took uncompromisingly to the streets. https://cwc.im/demands The Chauvin verdict indicates the strength of the movements against white supremacy and police violence. But as long as we look to the courts for solutions, police will go on murdering people. The police and National Guard crowding the streets of Minneapolis today confirm this.

The jury has arrived at a verdict in the Derek Chauvin case, but they delayed announcing it so the police and National Guard could establish total control of the Twin Cities ahead of this announcement. In short: one individual cop might be found guilty, but the institution of police as a whole is just accumulating more and more power. On the contrary, the problem is not just individual officers. The problem is the police state. Our rulers are investing tremendous power in the police, who will inevitably go on killing and oppressing.

Remember. Whatever the decision is, this isn't about a single incident. It never has been. Whatever the verdict is - we need abolition. We need to ensure this NEVER happens again.

Québec City, April 2001: The Revolutionary Anti-Capitalist Offensive 20 years ago, anarchists from around North America converged in Québec City to oppose the neoliberal proposal for a Free Trade Area of the Americas—and to fight against capitalism itself. https://cwc.im/QuebecFTAA In this blow-by-blow account, a participant recounts the fiercest street battles of that generation, detailing the strategies that ultimately defeated the FTAA. The result makes for exciting reading, to say the least, but it also an important educational document that has much to offer today’s anarchists.
