Sunday October 28th 1:00pm - The Fraternal Order of Police is organizing a
fund-raiser party in honor of Jonathan D. Josey, the cop who bashed Aida
Guzman in the face at the recent Puerto Rican Day parade. There is a rally
and speak-out in front of the FOP office during the duration of the party
inside. We want to make it uncompromisingly clear that it is unacceptable
that the FOP is celebrating this policeman's actions. Not that we expected
anything different. The fact that this was a black cop does not change the
fact that he was engaging in racist violence and acting in the interests of
white supremacy. Mayor Nutter's apology is not justice. The firing of
Josey is not justice. Any ordinary person caught doing this on tape would
be receiving criminal charges. But because Josey is a cop, he is above the
law. We can't rely on the police for justice. We can't rely on the
politicians either. We can only rely on ourselves and our capacity for
collective action. Philly FOP office number: (215) 629-3600 -

Strike Debt Philly Planning Meeting Sunday, October 28, 2012 2:00pm Wooden
Shoe Books and Records 704 South Street. Join us on Sunday to meet, greet,
and brainstorm how to launch a Philly chapter of Strike Debt! Debt
assemblies, debt burnings, and debt workshops are just a few of our ideas,
but we need yours as well. Strike Debt is a new movement for the refusal of
payment of debts to Wall St., whether student debt, credit card debt,
medical debt, municipal debt, or whatever you got! Strike Debt (NYC)
recently released the Debt
Resistors' Operations Manual, which provides strategies for how to avoid
and resist debts, a s well as historical and political context for why it
is that so many of us are trapped in this unfair system to begin with. The
Manual is free for download! Hope to see you on Sunday to launch the next
phase of the movement against Wall St. http://strikedebt.org/ Debt
