Sunday!

This Tuesday two marches from west and south will converge on City Hall. These groups are working on the #defundppd campaign which is pushing the city to cut $120Million from the police budget.

Last week during budget meetings one of our City leaders made the comment that there didn't seem to be "public will" to defund the police because *one* of the demonstrations last week only had 50 attendees. This was their justification for not cutting more out of the grossly unbalanced budget. Defunding is not the end-goal, but it is a step down the path towards community care.

💭Remember💭:
✔️Do: Share this channel @OTGdispatch with trusted friends on the ground
Do: share the @phillypolicebroadcast channel.
✔️
❌Don't: Post the link to this channel in public/social media where cops can find it❌
💥Be careful with munitions, it's hard to tell a gas grenade from a flashbang.
💥Gas grenades are still grenades, rubber bullets are still bullets. They're "less-lethals" 💥 In case of sonic weapons: Run SIDEWAYS and DIAGONAL not straight away. Earplugs are harm reduction.
💥Don't touch anything bare handed and wait til it explodes before you knock it back. 💥Don't take souvenirs, they may be coated with chemicals or incriminating UV dyes
🌊Just use water to rinse out tear gas 👁
🧼 Castile soap washes pepper spray off your skin 🧼

📸 Don't show faces of any protestor in streams, videos, or photos; & scrub your EXIF! 🤳
🙈 Wear a mask, no contact lenses, cover tattoos, bring eye protection 🙈
🙊 DON'T TALK TO COPS, if they arrest you say NOTHING but "I invoke my right to remain silent and my right to consult an attorney" 🙊
🙉 Don't trust anything they tell you 🙉
🐷 If they take a knee, IT'S A TRAP (And don't dance the macarena with the NG neither!)🐷

Hello Beloved Revolutionaries!
Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 22, there are two actions that deserve special attention:
Vigil for the Postal Service @11 am, 316 Market St
https://m.facebook.com/events/s/philly-vigil-save-our-postal-s/3178934062220683/?ti=icl

And

#DefundPPD march meeting at Broad and Snyder at 3pm, heading towards city hall.
https://facebook.com/events/s/march-against-racist-vigilante/3955205684552039/?ti=icl

Please note that the march that was supposed to go from 40th and Lancaster has merged with the one from Broad and Snyder.

Be safe, drink water, wear a mask, #abolishthepolice.

If you can't make it to an action today, here is an online action you can take!

Today will get over 90!! Please be mindful and check out this handout on heat related illness!

Rally at the post office is still happening, if anyone wants to head down there and get plugged into the movement to save the post office

MSB is occupied by protesters demanding to speak to Brian Abernathy. The march is heading North up broad, apparently joined by Gritty's non binary, anti-fascist relative, Pritty. Stay hydrated y'all, eyes on the prize. Let's #defundppd and then work towards a better future where communities have self determination.

✨Happy Wednesday! ✨

There are a handful of upcoming events, which can be found in detail at https://phillyprotest.com. Recurring events in Upper Darby and Germantown and a repeat of the "Clarion Call for Justice" at the Art Museum on Saturday at 1pm.

However, we would like to bring your attention to the interesting climate news that the US Southeast and Mid Atlantic are on the path of a large Dust Storm coming from the Sahara. For more info check this out: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bcNMHz-cd3k

Please wear a mask and be mindful of people who are not able to move inside during this kind of a climate event.

Yesterday was powerful as hundreds came out in the heat to both rally in solidarity with US Postal Workers (who might be our last chance to maintain even the mask of democracy our nation has) and to march against racist vigilantes and systemic racism from the police. Over 20 activists were arrested in the MSB demanding to talk to city manager Brian Abernathy, and as they were escorted out about 500 marchers showed up to demand that the city #defundPPD.

There isnt a March or rally today, but you can flood the social media of the city officials who make these decisions. Remember they think Philadelphian don't care about this issue enough for them to take action. Follow Amistad Law for more details!
