“August – a month of injustice and divine justice; of repression and righteous rebellion; of individual and collective efforts to free the slaves, and break the chains that bind us” – Mumia Abu-Jamal

I am excited to announce the Black August Film Cycle and Training Club!

This year we observe Black August the context of ever increasing police violence and the recent murder by police of Corey Ruiz, the war on crime in which the national guard has occupied multiple cities in the black belt which has led to murders by the National Guard of black people, and the targeting of Haitian communities by ICE.

For the month of august various individuals will be participating in Black August by doing film screenings and discussions of black liberation films every Friday, 8PM at the Yauger Park shelter and every Saturday morning at 11AM we will be meeting at Heritage Park by the parking lot and running around Capitol Lake as training for Running Down the Walls in September.

The Film Cycle will consist of the following movies:

Friday, August 7^th: The Spook Who Sat by the Door

Friday, August 14^th: Touch the Sky Stories Subversions and Complexities of Ferguson

Friday, August 21^st: We Are Now The Story of an Armed No Cop Zone in Atlanta

“Made by the Newsreel collective in New York City, this film shows “Operation Move-in,” in which Puerto Rican and Dominican families actively reclaimed unused, vacant housing on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

Newsreel #62. “This film captures the militant antecedents to today’s housing reclamation movement in New York City. In 1970, several hundred Puerto Rican and Dominican families reclaimed housing left vacant by the city. They pulled the boards off the doors, cleaned and repaired the buildings and moved in.”

If you can’t make it but want to watch it, the film is available online here.
