  • Noise Demo Against the Prison Industrial Complex, for the Liberation of PPs + POWs

  • Dec 30, 2011 to Dec 31, 2011
  • Location: Metropolitan Correction Center (MCC, the federal jail in downtown Manhattan)
  • Description:
    BRING: Noisemakers, air horns, drums, anything that is loud!

    To many it feels like we live in a time like no other-- with surveillance and repression at every turn, but also resistance, rebellion, and open revolt. However, this is neither the new golden nor dark age, it is simply another moment in time where we can collectively force conflict with a fundamentally fucked system.

    Every day there are revolts of varying scale, many of which never make it to your local news or facebook stream. For those captured in revolt, we heed the call for an international night of noise demonstrations. In the rotten heart of world capital, we honor this call and use it as a reminder-- prison is a means of social control to be absolutely destroyed.

    We come together in protest and celebration. For those locked up, we bring that celebration. Through the din of revelry and rage, we tie ourselves to those who suffer systematized white supremacy and war against the working class, behind steel bars and safety

    • Did you know that Watch Night/Freedom’s Eve is spiritual and cultural, not religious and congregational?
    • Did you know that Watch Night/Freedom’s Eve for whites meant “watching” for the coming of their god but for Blacks it meant “watching” for the coming of their freedom?
    • Did you know that Watch Night/Freedom’s Eve began at 7:00 pm for our enslaved ancestors on Dec. 31, 1862?
