On the 10th anniversary of the WTO protests in Seattle, and with hometown heroes Lil Wayne and Lil Boosie headed to prison, you are invited to a Reclaim The Streets that demands nothing from power. Instead, we seek to create a space in our city where the police and prison system that has failed to protect us from the policies of the WTO and neo-liberal globalization, while disproportionately

On Saturday, November 7, 2009, the New Orleans Bookfair was in full swing, with blocks of tables full of local independent, radical, and alternative literature. A cop had been cruising the streets of the outdoor fair, stopping to stare at punk-looking musicians and the kids in the bouncey castle (pedophiles on the force?), making several passes as the otherwise festive day unfolded.Like a hyena

It's a tragedy when people die, when anyone dies. It's a tragedy when people who lived genuinely anarchist lives and believed in resisting authority die, and sadder when and their death prompts allies to collaborate with police. The police-- especially the NOPD-- are enemies of the people. This is not only true when you're wearing a "Stop Snitchin'" t-shirt, in ironic homage to black communities
