the state lynching of innocent people like Imam Khaliifah ibn Rayford Daniels demonstrates that it’s not what we do on social media that counts for anything, but what we are organizing and building together in real life. commit to more than posting your rage on Instagram. move your money away from the capitalist murder system into collective resource sharing systems. feed each other. study together. make medicine. cultivate ritual. grow the corn til it’s twenty feet tall. bc we are going to need all of these roles to hold each other as the imperialist system crumbles.

Rest in Power.

REPOST: Support in Letter Writing to Women Prisoners this Sunday with Samidoun Seattle 📨

Join us at Cal Anderson Park near the Farmer’s Market 12pm - 3pm (drop in any time) to write letters to Palestinian prisoners incarcerated by the Zionist occupation. Given META repression of the Palestine movement and Samidoun, our Instagram and FB accounts have been taken down. Spread the word for this event and follow us on Telegram!

In response to the call to make August 3rd, the 300th day of the ongoing siege on Gaza, International Day of Action for Gaza and the Prisoners, we hope to come together in solidarity with the prisoners’ struggle. Zionist prisons are known for torture, starvation, and abuse, and used by occupation forces in futile attempts to break the Palestinian spirit and the resistance, but the Palestinian Prisoners’ Movement remains on the frontline of the liberation struggle.

No experience needed - bring yourself, friends, comrades, and your belief that we will soon win a Free Palestine.

Long live the Palestinian Resistance and Free Palestine!

This Sunday! Join us from 12-4PM at New Holly Rockery Market Garden for our August Second Sunday gathering. In addition to our monthly programming, we will be hosting our friends from Samid0un (follow their telegram! eff meta for banning them yet again!) to do an echo letter writing action for Palestinian prisoners.

Thank you Chef Carmen from for always bringing the most delicious spread 🤤

Invitation for New Holly Garden Day TODAY from approx 1-4PM per usual; at 2PM we will join the call from for a national day of mourning for Sonya Massey and hold vigil and sharing circle while we tend the garden together to make space for collective processing and dialogue. Please bring any pictures, flowers, altar items, etc. to honor Sonya’s life.

*Please note that this is not our monthly gathering; on the off-weeks we still gather to tend the garden together without the event vibes and big food spread. Please dress appropriately for the weather, bring water and snacks for yourself and to share if you’d like. Hand tools, gardening gloves, and a bag to bring home harvest are all helpful but not a barrier for attending! Today will be different as we will collectively hold space for Sonya Massey at 2PM.

Rest in Power to Sonya Massey. Cops don’t keep anyone safe, least of all Black and Brown and poor people living with neurodivergence as a result of this exploitative capitalistic world. The horrifying murder of Sonya Massey, Daniel Prude, Walter Wallace Jr., Janisha Fonville, and countless others, in their homes, in front of their mothers, babies, and partners, shows that the police system cannot and will not ever be reformed. Organizing towards the abolition of the police state and the total overturn of this imperialist global order is the ONLY way we will be able to achieve liberation for all of us.

This is why we call for - not here in Lacey, WA, not in the West Side of Chicago, not in the Weelaunee Forest in Atlanta, and NOT IN PALESTINE.

From movie (showing tonight at 7:30PM in New Holly (outdoors) or on Friday with ): “The majority [of us] have been pleading for investments in education, employment, housing, mental health clinics, and y’all have thrown at us a $95 million police academy that will do nothing for the community of Garfield Park. You are implementing a thing that is going to continue [to] over-criminalize Black folks.”

Through the film, the youth organizers of and Mariame Kaba call all of us to action - what we will do now? Will we organize our communities to fight? Will we refuse the apathy that overwhelms the need for more of us to be engaged in struggle?

We look forward to the discussion tonight.

On July 24 at 7:30PM at New Holly Rockery Market Garden, we will host a screening of No Cop Academy, a documentary about Black youth and other youth of color organizers in Chicago mobilizing against Rahm Emanuel’s plans to spend $95 million dollar for a massive training center for Chicago police on the city’s West Side. The campaign composed of 104 organizations, refused any expansion of policing in Chicago, and demanded that the city fund youth and communities instead.

This one-hour documentary chronicles the explosive campaign through first hand experiences. Fund Communities! Abolish the Police! From Seattle to Chicago to Atlanta, to Haiti, Congo, Sudan and a FREE PALESTINE!

There will be a panel discussion after the film with the directors from 🔥

Content warning for visuals and discussion of police violence.

English & Spanish captions available.

Please test for COVID prior to coming to the screening. We will be outdoors, masking is nevertheless always encouraged. If you have any sick symptoms, please stay home!
