On Sunday, an autonomous crew targeted and redecorated a US Army Recruitment Center in the Avondale neighborhood of so-called Chicago.
One week ago, Aaron Bushnell self-immolated outside the zionist embassy in so-called Washington DC. He follows an unnamed self-immolation outside the zionist embassy in so-called Atlanta. In addition, in 2023, a man self-immolated in Kinshasa, DRC in protest of the genocide in Congo over capitalist green and resource extraction of cobalt and copper for the world’s technology.
As such, comrades took the following actions against the recruitment center for the 33,000+ Palestinian martyrs since October 7, for Aaron Bushnell, and for all those struggling against the US imperialist machine:
- Painted Avenge Aaron, Gaza will Haunt You, and Free Gaza across the military machine recruitment center windows
- Smashed windows of the main army recruitment office
- Covered surveillance cameras with spray paint
- Poured red paint on windows of the Marines recruitment office
As US imperialism and capitalism abound, we target the US military in its enforcement of imperialism from Haiti to AFRICOM to Palestine and beyond. We reject the US airdrops of “aid” in Gaza with one hand while it uses the other to provide logistical, materials and political support to the ongoing Nakba.
We encourage all in the heart of empire to escalate tactics against the US military weapons manufacturers and entities complicit in genocide – from the BDS list, to zionist groups in Chicago and beyond, to those engaging in the predatory recruitment of individuals to the military – often targeting Black high schoolers. We encourage all military personnel to de-enlist and let the shame of your colonial service push you to radical action.
All it takes is a small group of people experimenting, building trust, and taking action together. Make a plan, gather your tools, go out, and attack. Remember to bloc up and leave your phones at home! There’s a Navy recruitment center and crisis pregnancy center/fake clinic next door to where this attack happened.
We remember Aaron’s last words:
“I will no longer be complicit to genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest. But compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers – it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”
May we commit to escalated action such that US militarism crumbles into the abyss. Glory to al the martyrs.
