"La gente fuerte no necesita un lider, ellos por si mismos son lideres" - Emiliano Zapata

Autonomous/ Anti-Authoritarian/ Anarchist People Of Color from across the Northeast (and beyond) are gathering in Philly this summer to build a new vision for the future, and a new plan of action for today. We want to expand our understanding of race, class, gender, autonomy, and freedom - while attacking white supremacy, imperialism, colonialism, and ALL borders, boundaries, and barriers.

July 4, Philadelphia protest for death-row journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal. Video features Pam Africa, Sundiata Sadiq, Theresa Shoatz, Rebel Diaz, Taina Asili, and more.

In their own words, “The One People’s Project is about one thing: disseminating information. We are a collection of people across the country and in Canada the UK that are active in gathering that information about any and all persons involved in racist/right-wing activity. We may participate in the organization of an action from time to time, but our primary mission is to be an online resource for those fighting fascism.”

Two nazi skinhead (hereafter boneheads) crews, Keystone State Skinheads (KSS) and Maryland “Skinheads” (MDS), recently made their presence felt at the April 19th protest against the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision to deny Mumia Abu Jamal a new trial. The white supremacists came to show their support of Philly’s police, their legal institutional counterparts in keeping a white supremacist system defended by force and held signs demanding Mumia’s and other African Americans’ executions.

From a flyer handed out at the rally:

Over the past year, both KSS and MDS who were both recently profiled on a recent National Geographic documentary, have stepped up their political activism, posting flyers in the townswhere members live and participating in mainstream political events such as anti-immigration rallies and the Ron Paul rally on November 10 in Philly. They have tried to revamp their image by discarding the Nazi symbolism they have been known for, but being as they are dumber than a sack of rocks they still maintain racist positions as well as their penchant for criminality and violence. Wilkes-Barre has seen not only KSS flyers around town as well as a member of KSS. A punk show this month in Allentown, where KSS member Keith Carney encouraged racists to attend, resulted in a number of them randomly attacking people in the audience. It reportedly took riot police to quell the melee. Carney himself has a long criminal record, and along with fellow KSS associates Vincent DeFelice, Andrew Boyle and Doug Caffarella, are facing attempted murder and weapons charges stemming from attacking one of their own on Memorial Day Weekend last year. MDS is headed up by Jason Tankersly, who also caught a charge and probation for beating someone with a hammer.
