Principles
of Unity

Our mission, first and foremost, is to make a stand for the empowerment and equality of everyone who faces the threat of oppression, starting from the scale of our local community and extending towards global coalitions against tyranny. The Trump administration may embody the worst of America’s hatred, but this regime was only made possible through the excesses of capitalism that fueled their rise in the first place. History proves that bigotry and oppression are the inevitable results when profit is valued over people, and that is not a system that could ever be redeemed. We therefore aim to confront such hatred at its source, and to bring an end to capitalism for the sake of humanity itself. Yet even this ambition is only the beginning. Fascist ideals of total wealth control, generational indoctrination, and domination along lines of race, gender, and/or nationality still exist in the trade relations that power Western Imperialism. Our continuous struggle against these cruelties provides a foundation for resistance, and allows us to build the experience, resources, and connections that will be necessary in bringing revolution to a global stage.

The revolution has a place for everyone, and no war can be won by infantry alone. While some of us take part in direct actions and protests, other comrades gather information and organize these events from behind the scenes. It is equally valuable to educate ourselves and our communities to learn new ways of supporting our comrades. Revolution requires both the deconstruction of old oppressions and the construction of new subjectivities, communities, and more free ways of life. Everyone chooses their own contribution, and each of us needs to do our part in this fight for freedom. (More on diversity of tactics below.)

No single activist can overthrow capitalism alone. We believe in creating new coalitions to bridge the divide between movements, and although different organizations may not agree on everything, this is not the time for petty infighting. Anyone who would stand against oppression is already on our side. Anyone who fights against the police, against ICE, and against the agents of fascism are already fighting on our front line. None of us can afford to have enemies where we could have allies instead, and when we stand together, our diversity becomes our greatest strength. Workers of the world unite!

Revolution begins with education. The Trump administration relies on lies and propaganda to seize power, so when we educate ourselves to recognize the truth, we begin to take that power back. Past revolutionaries have paved the way to our present movement. From the Communist International uniting leftists around the world, to the American union workers who fought and died for a fairer wage and improved labor rights, to the anarchists and anarcho-communists who affirm that we can live freely without coercion, compulsory labor, or authority of the state, we find ourselves standing on the shoulders of giants. Our organization thus strives to educate the larger community, using humanity's collective knowledge of the natural, social, historical, scientific, and artistic dimensions to prove that a hate free world is possible.

When a nation fails to support its people, the people have a duty to support each other. We therefore strive to build sustainable networks of care in our communities, and by extension, to build the solidarity and resources that will be needed to carry on the revolution. This is what we mean when we say, "From each according their ability, to each according to their need"—people have a fundamental right to the goods and services that would establish proper standard of living. The working class already produces far more than what would be required to provide such necessities for all, and poverty is enforced by capitalism as the means of denying our due. For this reason, we have no choice but to stand united in support for each other as we fight for a better future.

The most visible way to resist a regime is through the act of protest itself. No words can ever speak louder than action, and theories can only be tested when they are put into practice. For this reason, our movement serves to organize communities in carrying out the work of dismantling hatred and oppression in every form. We lead our own protests and education events with the goal of implementing tangible change, whether by improving laws across the nation or by changing individual hearts to stand together in solidarity. Moreover, if the government does not heed the voice of the people, then we will use civil disobedience to force them to listen. If they do not listen to civil disobedience, then we will escalate to bring the justice that they have denied with our own hands.

The only question is: are you ready to stand with us in revolution?

Direct action takes many forms, and participation involves many roles. We understand direct action encompasses a range of approaches with varying levels of risk, and that each contribute to the collective struggle. Both peaceful and militant protests play a role in advancing justice and liberation. When we use the term nonviolent, we do not equate it with the preservation of property. Rather, we view the purposeful targeting of infrastructure associated with oppressive forces as a valid and necessary act of resistance. We do not collaborate with law enforcement, who function as agents of state violence and whose historical and ongoing role has been to protect property and enforce systems of exclusion, including collaboration with immigration enforcement agencies that terrorize our immigrant neighbors. Such forms of policing are rooted in the control of nation-state borders, which we do not recognize as legitimate on stolen land. We do not police how individuals choose to protest, recognizing the agency and autonomy of all participants. We are strongest when we act together to embrace a diversity of tactics.
