Black August Los Angeles 2009

"Settle your quarrles, come together, understand the reality of our situation, understand that fascism is already here, that people are

dying who could be saved, that generations more will die or live poor butchered half-lives if you fail to act. Do what must be done,

discover your humanity and your love in revolution. Pass on the torch. Join us..."

"The sooner begun, the sooner done."

Comrade George Jackson

ONGOING THROUGHOUT BLACK AUGUST
