Tucson Anarchist Black Cross

Come out this Thursday for Letter Writing!

In South Carolina, with floodwaters rising after the onslaught of Hurricane Florence, two women being transported to a mental health facility in the care of the Horry County Sheriff’s Office were stolen from us when officers bypassed warning barricades and drove directly into floodwaters. The officers saved themselves, climbing to the van roof to await rescue, leaving Windy Newton and Nicolette Green to drown beneath their feet inside the van.

On the MOVE.

The MOVE Organization is currently in financial stress. Many new developments have created an extreme financial burden on the organization. With the recent release of Debbie Africa and the other members of the MOVE 9 coming up for parole, the legal fees are mounting, with no relief in sight.

The toll of being in prison 40 years has caused the health of the MOVE 9 to decline. The MOVE 9 range from the ages of 58 -74 years old. They are starting to develop serious health problems. We have already suffered the loss of Merle and Phil Africa to these strenuous conditions.
The losses that the MOVE 9 have suffered have been horrendous. Janine, Janet Delbert, and Phil have suffered the death of their young children during the May 13, 1985 bombing. The grief that Phil suffered shortened his life.

We are working extremely hard to bring our family home. We have made every effort to raise the funds necessary to support them.
Our fundraising efforts have included, conferences, 5k runs, concerts, radio and TV programs, speaking engagements, and endless hours of marches and rallies- still we have fallen short. We need more support
After 40 years of imprisonment, Debbie came home with only the clothes on her back. The love from her family and the community have been very helpful and we are very thankful, but she is still in need.

Please help us crowd source for a solid future for the other MOVE 9 members. We have chosen $50,000 as our starting goal, but please don’t hesitate to help us exceed our limit. No Donation is to small.

When stating that we would prefer a world without prisons, borders, and governments people often ask "what about murders, etc". The majority of people are in prison for #1-- drugs (solution: decriminalize drugs), #2 -- Property crimes (solution: end economic inequality/end private property), the police/prison industrial complex are barriers to health and freedom, not the safeguards of them. The police in the US kill a thousand or more people every year, their mission is control.
