A leaked internal memo from the March on the DNC Coalition shows that Coalition organizers (CJP, PSL, etc.) plan to hand disruptive protestors over to the cops. We’ve reproduced it here in full.
Don’t let protest marshals convince you to betray and endanger those willing to escalate for Gaza—cooperation with protest marshal instructions means cooperating with cops. This is about limiting and controlling protestors, NOT diversity of tactics.
Think before you listen to what someone in a vest tells you to do. Protect those who escalate. People who are willing to assume risk deserve your cooperation & trust.

At this anarchist assembly we will strategize ways to be more proactive in anarchist interventions. In addition to continuing the discussion of palestinian solidarity and strategizing for anarchist activity we will also be discussing the DNC and other topics attendees may be interested in. We will be focusing on what our role is in Chicago to deepen a global rupture and what proactive anarchist intervention looks like.
