This is a call out for anarchists all over to converge in Fergusen. The Organization for Black Struggle is calling for activists to converge on Ferguson, Missouri from October 10 to the 13 for large demonstrations and civil disobedience. The actions are an effort to call attention to police brutality, militarized police, structural violence and systemic racism. Saturday October 11 there will be a large mobilization march leading to “civil disobedience and major demonstrations at significant targets” on Monday October 13th.

Since the development of civilization through the genocidal process of colonization, racism and white supremacy have always been a primary function of capitalism. Today the state continues to carry out atrocities against people of colour through colonial courts, the prison industrial complex and with murder.Through private-property ownership and the forces that protect those in power, all people experience the deprivation of a free life that can only be found upon the ashes of civilization.

For anarchists/anti-authoritarians it is understood that anti-racism is not just a struggle to merely sympathize with. Racism is a form of oppression that is interdependent upon, and reinforces, other forms of oppression. An attack on one individual or group is an attack on all. The anarchist/anti-authoritarian struggle for freedom must be intersectional and maintain a permanent method of attack on all forms of oppression.

For so long the state has captured, tortured and murdered in pursuit of upholding a colonial agenda. The time could not be any more ripe to destroy the colonial monuments of private-property and the institutionalized racism that consolidate them. To stand and fight in Ferguson is not just solidarity with those suffering the brute force of systemic racism, but an action taken by those who realize that all struggles for freedom are connected. A call for convergence and action has been made by the people of Ferguson. Fuck the police. Let the black flags fly.
