RCAFA is hosting a mobile dance party in solidarity with #Occupy Oakland and their call-out for a west coast port shutdown. We have asked folks interested in involving themselves in the dance party to dress in dark clothing and blue jeans with a change of clothing available. We have done this to ensure the safety of the folks involved. Police routinely use surveillance against activists in an attempt to link them to specific actions. These profiled activists tend to get harassed the most. Being detained, jailed, incriminated, and profiled is what many outspoken activists in our community, a well as elsewhere, face when organizing. We ask the community to respect our call out for a similar clothed bloc to tactically refuse the use of profiling by police. If we look the same, it's harder to tell whose who in the above-ground organizing circuit.
We make 3 proposals for our dance party we wish for all attendee's to respect.
1.DO NOT CONFRONT THE POLICE
2.WALK! DO NOT RUN IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY(people get hurt that way)
3.RESPECT ALL TACTICS SET IN PLACE BY RC.AFA TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF ALL ATTENDING.
This is a festive event meant for all who wish to attend. RC.AFA takes full responsibility for all folks showing up to dance their booties off and we would never intentionally put anybody in harm's way.
SOLIDARITY FOREVER
ANTIFA
