cleveland anarchist black cross: a cry for Reciprocity! mentorships, letter writing campaigns and liasons of revolutionary love.

cleveland anarchist black cross formulated a process aimed at preventing a silo effect upon our collective. We're in an inchoate stage of developing mentorship & liaison modules. The aim is effective use of contacts, resources and nurturing the collective as a whole through engendering collaborative milieus external and internal. Some of this might take place as successful letter writing campaigns, security culture, team cognitives and implementing CORE VALUES.

We take a HARD LINE ON ALL FORMS OF RAPE CULTURE, we are UNEQUIVOCALLY Militantly ANTI-TRANS-PHOBIC, ANTI-HOMOPHOBIC, ARDENTLY REVOLUTIONARY Feminist, WHOLLY ANTI WHITE SUPERMACIST IN ALL FORMS AND MANIFESTATION ALBEIT NUANCE.

Stabilization of neophytes in retention and recruitment. Identify appropriate delivery systems. We embrace an emphasis on females, queers people of color asians, latinos, africans and disporians or bi-racial but not to exclusion of any one else. We challenge any one's requisite experience to be a mentor, liason or resource.

"Any time something is written against me, I not only share the sentiment but feel I could do the job far better myself. Perhaps I should advise would-be enemies to send me their grievances beforehand, with full assurance that they will receive my every aid and support. I have even secretly longed to write, under a pen name, a merciless tirade against myself." - Jorge Luis Borges, (autobiographical essay, 1970).


"Out of the night that covers me, black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears looms but the horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul." - Invictus by William Ernest Henley

"If we must die--let it not be like hogs Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot, While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs, Making their mock at our accursed lot. If we must die--oh, let us nobly die, So that our precious blood may not be shed In vain; then even the monsters we defy Shall be constrained to honor us though dead! Oh, Kinsmen! We must meet the common foe; though far outnumbered, let us show us brave, and for their thousand blows deal one deathblow! What though before us lies the open grave? Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack, pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!" - If We Must Die by Claude McKay

CLEVELAND ANARCHIST BLACK CROSS MISSION STATEMENT: cleveland abc new po box 606235

The operative paradigm is no compromise! Non-negotiable, irreconcilable, against the dominant culture of deep-seated racism, poisonous commodification, and rampant alienation. We are militantly anti-racist, pro-feminist, pro-lbtq, revolutionary GREEN animal liberarationists and autonomists.

We repudiate the vantage points of the so-called "elite." We confirm the interconnection of agony, misery & drudgery, particularly experienced by our sisters and brothers on lockdown in pure living hell! We do not seek to reify or commodify political prisoners, prisoners of war, super max, or the prison industrial complex.

We hold ourselves accountable to the last breath in our bodies; to strike as many death blows against all vestiges of authority. We are immersed in historical and material realities of black codes, fugitive slave laws, the convict lease system, racist and homophobic paddy rollers i.e. police, etc. The current day sweatshops, super-stores, and prison (death) camps are a stark reminder, an iron fist, that reverberates here and now the realities of slave-labor, plantations, and the unbearable industrialized factory work that followed; the Parchman Farms, Alcatraz', Devil's Islands, and countless others.

This membership, as an affinity, is open to those who passionately despise the status quo. In particular to revolutionary anarchists, queer people, people of color, women, prisoners, and the oppressed. We also seek those who are scorching, unrelenting, unforgiving, with selfless and love-inspired determination and revolutionary drive, who at every waking moment live with the intent on the demise of the sadistic, depraved, wholesale slaughtering, mass murdering wicked amoeba that is modern globalized fascist-consumerist society! You are welcome with revolutionary principles and revolutionary peace.

We also invite you to work on programs; letter writing, fund raising, self publishing, and building revolutionary info. distro's and meeting places. We have numerous contacts as well as ourselves for revolutionary literature.

Much love to all sisters & brothers, political prisoners & prisoners of war and the wrongfully convicted!!!
