A punk rock benefit show for the newly group California Anarchist Prisoner Solidarity will take place at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, Friday, November 12 at 8pm.
the bands playing are:
submission hold (from Canada!)
eskapo
angry for life
myth of progress
SCA
the show costs 5-7 dollars sliding scale plus a two dollar membership if you do not have one.
California Anarchist Prisoner Solidarity (CAPS) has formed to support
those who face incarceration as a direct response to their beliefs or
actions which challenge the oppressive nature of the state, the injustices
that exist due to class, racism, sexism, and homophobia, or the
destruction of the earth and the species who inhabit it. We recognize that
the plight of political prisoners is only a small part of the sprawling
injustice of the global Prison Industrial Complex. We seek the abolition
of prisons as part of a dismantling of all repressive state apparatus and
also extend our solidarity to those imprisoned around the world. However,
we have chosen to focus the majority of our limited resources on political
prisoners in California with the idea that if we do not fight locally for
those who suffer as a result of our common struggle then our beliefs
themselves become meaningless. Through corresponding with prisoners,
fundraising on their behalf, and building public awareness by circulating
information on their situations, we hope to remind those on the inside
that they are not alone, while helping to break down the bars that
separate us and inspiring those on the outside to continue their battle.
