Resistance And Repression: American Tear Gas From Cairo To Oakland Popular Resistance, Militarized Repression 19 January 2012 56 Walker st., NYC
An OWS Teach-in to prepare for the anniversary of the #Jan25 Egyptian Revolution.
Our tax dollars continue to fund violence against protestors in Egypt, Bahrain, Palestine and other places around the world and in American cities.
This is our time to honor the Arab Spring, the inspiration of Occupy, and to show our solidarity with those who fight for dignity everywhere.
Please join us for a teach-in to discuss 1) The connections between police violence at home and the repression of protestors abroad 2) How US companies profit from weapons sales to Egyptâs Supreme Council of the Armed Forces 3) What we can do to help
Presenters include: Samah Selim, recently returned from Cairo, presenting a video montage from the Mosireen video collective of Egypt, Stop Stop And Frisk coalition on militarization of policing of communities in New York City, a video montage of tear gas and its effects world-wide by Tamar Sharabi and Maia Ramnath on the corporations that profit from tear gas sales and the mechanisms of funding and U.S. government complicity with those crimes.
