Communique for June 11th International Day of Solidarity for Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners

from june11:

Everywhere that there exists dynamic struggle against the state and capitalism, there is some degree of repression. Capitalism knows well how to protect its interests, and it entails targeting and eradicating those who challenge it’s dominance. While we continue our daily struggle against this monster, we also fight to make sure our friends and comrades who have been imprisoned by the state aren’t forgotten, that their material and emotional needs are taken care of, and that they remain connected to the movements that they have been forcibly yanked away from.

Last year, as one small gesture to address this, June 11th was called as a yearly day of solidarity with two of our longest-imprisoned anarchist comrades, Marie Mason and Eric McDavid. While we realize that many of us have limited time or resources to put toward basic material support for prisoners, we hope that their names and stories, as well as the lessons learned from their cases, can become well known everywhere. In our actions and solidarity, we wish to draw connections between Marie’s and Eric’s cases and those of imprisoned anarchist comrades all over the world who are experiencing firsthand these alarming trends of lengthy sentences and increased repression. This is a preliminary call addressed to all those who fight against this prison society to take action on June 11th, in solidarity with Eric, Marie and all long-term anarchist prisoners.

The cases of Marie and Eric appear fundamentally different at first glance. We choose to connect them in the context of June 11th, not only because of their similar sentences and the fact that they both remained incredibly strong in the face of intense harassment, but also to highlight and analyze the U.S. government’s multi-faceted strategy of repression.

11 de junio. Día internacional de apoyo a Eric McDavid y Marie Mason

Eric y Marie son dos presxs norteamericanxs que siguen en prisión tras la oleada represiva que se denominó Green Scare

En cualquier lugar en donde existe una lucha dinámica contra el estado y el capitalismo, hay algún grado de represión. El capitalismo sabe muy bien cómo proteger sus intereses, y ésto le lleva a apuntar y a erradicar a aquéllo que desafía su dominio. Aunque continuamos con nuestra lucha diaria contra este monstruo, también luchamos para asegurarnos de que nuestrxs amigxs y compañerxs que han sido apresadxs por el estado no sean olvidadxs; que sean tenidas en mente sus necesidades materiales y emocionales, y que permanezcan conectadxs con los movimientos de los que han sido arrancadxs por la fuerza.
