Points of Unity

Prisoners Are Our Compass

Current and former prisoners guide our work and analysis—Everything we do is in service of their liberation and the destruction of all prisons and jails. Fire to the dungeons!

✴

True Solidarity

The maxim of solidarity means equal risk and equal action. It’s a promise to sacrifice and fight with those we stand with—Prisoners, New Afrikan and Indigenous liberation, resistance movements in the third world, those opposing gendered and sexualized oppression, and all decolonial and anti-imperialist struggles.

✴

All Crime Is Political

Domestic colonization and manufactured poverty directly cause people to turn to illegal means of survival. The American empire cannot run without slavery, and the prison industry uses prisoner labor to keep the wheels of capital turning. Every prisoner is inherently political, and no matter what labels we assign to them, it is principled to fight for the freedom of all.

✴

Community Accountability and Justice

Those who assault and harm comrades and community members will be punished without the use of carcerality and imprisonment.

✴

The Heart of the Weapon

America is the dominant entity of the capitalist world order and distributes violence across the planet. As organizers inside New York City, the home of Wall Street and capital, it is our duty to destroy the beast from within.
