poem for the morning of election

Wed, 07 Nov 2012 18:56:14 -0500

anneboyer:

when I was a girl, younger than Hazel,
I wrote in my diary “I hate America”

and I am a grown woman in my thirty ninth year
and I still hate you, America

that I am in you, that I am of you,
that you are in my blood and my blood has been shed for you
(remember when I was bleeding, poor, and dying on your hospital floor?)

and I hate that my shed blood is a drop in the blood which is shed for you
that you are also in the blood of my friends, and lovers, and enemies

why does America live in my friends?
why does America live in my lovers?
why does it live in its poets?
why must it live in my child?
why does it live in every object around me, my foxconn laptop, my wrangler boots, the target coffee cup from which I drink?

on a simple morning
this is an innocent speech
and I offer it with no
stylish self protection
and I reveal in it no education
but a curse

that America has made of all beauties
these hostile objects, and made of all love
a hostile love

a man goes to nature. he says he was “outside” all day
but I have no landscape to look on
that is not America.

there are no reparations in the landscape
no color to its woods, its deserts, its beaches, its fields
its cities are a wound and seething

each square foot of it
when we walk it
is a walk in the land of death

and where are the manic boyish statisticians of these american deaths?
and where are my lovers who will come to me
made of flames?

America I hated your pale-faced conservatives
and I hate them still

I hate your liberals who celebrate the more erudite of two evils
over artisanal delicacies, who are the vile pragmatists
of hell’s ethical lunches

their champagne bottles are empty this morning
to be filled with tiny drones —

I love only the children on the trash heaps and the outskirts
of the everywhere
they are my nature, who are too slippery for our factories
who are too slight to fall in our aerial deaths
who can soften, like the ocean,
the broken glass

I love how these children will undo us
so that I may think of a new day,
with a new poet,
that she can finally sing of love —

break from regularly scheduling programming because this is so fucking beautiful

Jamel Mims on facing two years in prison for protesting Stop & Frisk
October 23, 2012

New York City teacher Jamel Mims faces up to two years in prison for nonviolently protesting the most controversial racial profiling policy in America today. Last year, he was one of the key members of a civil disobedience campaign to stop Stop-and-Frisk that boasted the iconic academic Cornel West as one of its leading advocates. Today, he stands on trial along with 12 other campaigners.

As discussed in last week’s State of the Left, the NYPD policy involves 1,800 instances of stopping and frisking citizens every day; in the last decade, 87% of people who are stopped are black or Latino; and about 9 of 10 are innocent of any wrongdoing. There is not even a hint of exaggeration in saying that certain sections of New York City are turned into police states for minority youth.

Enter Jamel Mims:

On Tuesday October 23, I will be on trial along with Carl Dix, who, with Cornel West, initiated the 2011 campaign of nonviolent protest to stop Stop-and-Frisk. We are facing up to two years in jail for non-violent protest at the NYPD 103rd precinct in Jamaica, Queens last year.

The stakes are undoubtedly high: this is the second stop-and-frisk protest mass trial resulting from the culminating action of the civil disobedience campaign that sparked citywide resistance to the policy. The Queens District Attorney added a serious misdemeanor charge on us last month, and re-wrote our charges last week so that we’re charged with ‘acting in concert’ rather than as individuals.

The action last November was the third such protest at New York City precincts with the most stop-and-frisks, this one taking place in the borough of Queens. We held a community rally and march through Jamaica, Queens, which ended at the 103rd Precinct. As our march arrived at the precinct, it was completely barricaded on all sides – on lock-down in anticipation of the protest. An officer slides open one of the metal grates and motions us inward so that we may protest at the precinct doors. After minutes of chanting and singing outside of the precinct steps, 20 of us were arrested, quite quickly, but held for hours late into the next day. For less than ten minutes of protesting stop-and-frisk outside of the doors 103rd precinct, which houses the NYPD officers who put fifty shots into Sean Bell, 12 co-defendants and I now find ourselves facing two years of jail time.

If anyone think this is just an empty threat, and they won’t convict or send us to jail, let me reiterate—the DA has twice bumped up the charges in the last month, and has made it very clear that the prosecutorial apparatus intends to place us behind bars. A year ago, those who had no first-hand experience of the humiliation of being illegally searched barely knew the practice occurred. Those who got stopped and frisked thought there was nothing one could do about it. Now, the stop-and-frisk policy and the horrors it inflicts are going viral in mainstream society. Copwatch and videos of NYPD stops garner thousands of views, and nearly every day there are articles or opinion pieces about stop-and-frisk. Potential mayoral candidates have even had to confront this, as politicians line up to claim their opposition to the policy, or express their desire to reform or modify it in the ongoing pursuit of public opinion.

In this watershed moment, when stop-and-frisk is opening a window into the daily plight of thousands, the very people who put their bodies on the line to put this issue into the spotlight and openly call out for its abolition are vigorously prosecuted and threatened with incarceration. I refuse to accept this. It’s unthinkable that the Queens District Attorney, who couldn’t make a case against the cops who murdered Sean Bell, is now throwing the book at nonviolent civil disobedience protesters. In this light, the intended effect of this prosecution is insidiously transparent: to send a chilling effect through the movement against mass incarceration, and dampen the spirit of resistance it has ignited. To put it quite simply: don’t speak up, and certainly don’t fight back.

Well, I’m speaking up. And not just as someone who is passionate about the issue. I speak as a target of police abuse, as a Fulbright Scholar whose scholarship was almost denied after being assaulted by Boston police while trying to leave a party. I speak to you as an artist and teacher whose work in New York City public schools has me witness the humiliation and degradation of the youth by the NYPD on a daily basis. I speak to you as a committed opponent of the New Jim Crow, a system of mass incarceration that has 2.4 million mostly black and Latino men warehoused in prisons across the nation, with stop-and-frisk as a major pipeline into that system.

Most of all, I speak to you as someone who has cast their lot with those at the bottom of society: with those thousands of youth who are brutalized, targeted, harassed, and shuffled off behind bars — and is now facing years in prison for standing with them.

We fully intend to stop this railroading by bringing the political battle into the courtroom and putting Stop and Frisk on trial. If we are allowed to be convicted and jailed without a massive fight, then the battle against stop-and-frisk and the spirit of resistance it has engendered will be seriously dampened. On the other hand, if people stand with us in this legal battle–if we meet and defeat their attempts to silence and punish us–then the movement will gain further initiative and pull many more people into the struggle against mass incarceration.

Lakota activists pepper-sprayed in protest against predatory liquor stores
August 27, 2012

Women of the Oglala Lakota nation along with activists from Deep Green Resistance, AIM Grassroots, Native Youth Movement, Un-Occupy Albuquerque, Occupy Lincoln, and Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center took part in a march from Billy Mills Hall in Pine Ridge into White Clay to protest against the predatory liquor industry present there.

White Clay has a population of 14, yet 4 liquor stores in the town sell 12,500 cans of beer each day. The stores have been documented repeatedly selling to bootleggers, intoxicated people, minors, and trading beer for sexual favors.

“For over 100 years the women of the Oglala Lakota nation have been dealing with an attack on the mind body and spirit of their relatives”, says Olowan Martinez who is a main organizer of the event and resident of Pine Ridge. “The Oglala have been silenced through chemical warfare waged by the corporations who are out to exploit and make a profit off of the suffering and misery of our people. The time has come to end this suffering by any means necessary.”

Debra White Plume, a Lakota activist and resident of Pine Ridge who spoke at the event proclaimed, “A sober Indian is a dangerous Indian. We have to send a message to Nebraska and its citizens that we are not going to tolerate business as usual. This is the Women’s Day of Peace but that peace will soon be over”.

After the march and speeches members of Deep Green Resistance locked down and blockaded the road into White Clay.

Less than a half hour after the lockdown began a police officer rolled down their window and indiscriminately pepper sprayed into a crowd. Up to 12 people were pepper sprayed including the 10 year old son of a Lakota woman who helped organize the march. Also, an elder Lakota woman, Helen Red Feather, reported having her leg hit by a police car in motion. Medics with the protest treated pepper spray injuries.

At 7:39, the five activists who participated in the lock down were hauled off in a horse trailer to the Sheridan County jail in Rushville. They have since been released on their own recognizance.

Today, justice is far from complete, since White Clay continues to enable and enact the destruction of the Oglala Lakota and the people of Pine Ridge. The continued subjugation of the Oglala Lakota of the Pine Ridge Reservation will not end as long as the liquor stores in White Clay continue to operate.

Chants of “As long as it takes!” began by those locked down and the people standing with them in the crowd at the beginning of the lockdown. The struggle continues.

Nine days left to reclaim Pe'Sla, the heart of Lakota territory.:

apihtawikosisan:

The heart of the Black Hills will be put up for auction on August 25th, potentially cutting the heart out of Lakota territory. The Pe’Sla fundraiser has managed to gather together $22K in a short period of time, but there are only 9 days left until the sale takes place. Help the Lakota back land stolen from them, land that is vital to the Lakota people. Literally every dollar helps!

Pe’Sla: Protecting Sacred Sites as the Next Battle Ground

By: Chase Iron Eyes

As the Oceti Sakowin (Great Sioux Nation), we have a tremendous responsibility to protect the Black Hills. Other nations carry that moral responsibility as well- including the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Crow, Kiowa, and others that know the sacred nature of the Black Hills. We need to come together: the Treaty Councils, Tribal Governments (IRA), Action Groups, Grassroots organizations, AIM Chapters, and any individual willing to help. We will not wait for others to “take up the cause.” Each one of us must be willing to set up camp at any sacred site set for destruction, share information via social media or around a campfire, seek legal recourse in any court of law, protest, “buy back” our sites as the Sicangu (Rosebud Nation) and Mdewakantonwan (Shakopee Dakota) are talking of doing, and do whatever it takes to defend our most vital sites. The auction day (Aug.25,2012) fast approaches as does the future Pe’Sla construction (2014). As long as we are living there will be a fight to protect all of our sites. There is only one Mother Earth, Blihiciyapo. READ MORE HERE: http://www.lastrealindians.com/2012/08/01/pesla-protecting-sacred-sites-as-the-next-battle-ground/

The Doll Test. They redo this every so often, and the results remain the same. The person who screams a slur at you is an obvious threat, but when the whole world keeps telling you that you don’t matter, and showing you that you don’t matter, that’s the poison that sinks in.

One of the best tricks is getting people to believe the battle is on a single front - “Oh this doesn’t matter because X matters more” - actually it all matters- day to day survival, food and health care matters, legal rights, protection and laws matter, media narratives that inform how people act matter, your personal choices and way of thinking matters.

I’ll say it far less elegantly: Fuck your white fuckery.

All of your bullshit we call out matters. Your stupid fucking Disney movies, your shitty magazine and your crappy TV shows.

All of that nonsense makes beautiful brown girls like this hate themselves.

So fuck you very much, we’re gonna keep on at it until it drives you crazy too

For those of you that think racism doesn’t affect children.

So, again… why the fuck are YOU mad, white boy?
