Rage Against the Machine stands in solidarity with women and people
who can become pregnant who have been targeted by the latest attacks
on reproductive justice in Texas.
The violence and atrocities we are witnessing in Sheikh Jarrah, the Al Aqsa compound and Gaza are a continuation of decades of Israel’s brutal apartheid and violent occupation of Palestine.
1/What defines innocence in America? Tamir Rice was executed for playing with a toy. Nobody was charged. Ahmaud Arbery went jogging and was murdered in broad daylight. Rittenhouse armed himself and killed people who were fighting for racial justice. He claimed self-defense.
2/This is the settler logic of America’s founding myth: whiteness must cast itself as the victim in order to justify its violence against those resisting its oppression. Welcome to the Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.

We should oppose war and occupation in all its forms.
But in the past week, we've seen that when it comes to solidarity, legitimate resistance, and refugees, the rules are different for white people. Listen to James Baldwin speaking truth:
1/ After 9/11, the 'War on Terror’ was sold as a break from the past, something fundamentally new. In reality, it's part of a centuries long campaign of white supremacist violence that the West (Europe & the U.S.) has waged against Black, Brown and Indigenous ppl everywhere.

1/ This Black August, we continue to demand the release of Black freedom fighters like Imam Jamil Al-Amin (formerly H. Rap Brown of the Black Panther Party).

Like all attempts to control reproduction, this recent legislative assault will disproportionately impact poor, BIPOC, and undocumented communities. But these attacks are not just happening in Texas.
Special thanks to Sunny
@hate5six
who put together a form letter for people to pressure Philly’s governor and demand the release of Mumia Abu-Jamal, who has C*VID and is vulnerable. Visit and take action.
