They reject government and 'envision sovereignty as the vehicle to a freedom that has yet to be experienced by the African Diaspora'
A black liberation autonomous zone is forming in Austin, which is the Texas State Capitol. The developers of the city’s “sovereign citizen” collective reject state authority to “protect Black liberation and prosperity,” according to their published information.
“On Sunday, February 14th, 400+1’s L1 Collective led an eleven mile car procession around the perimeter of what is now 400+1 protected territory, renaming the area Orisha Land, and rejecting the state’s authority within it,” the group has written on its website.
“400 + 1 is a framework constructed to achieve and protect Black liberation and prosperity. This construct encourages diversity in skill and passion among its members while developing a unified ideology. 400 + 1 acknowledges the necessity of building upon the triumphs of our ancestors while critically analyzing the mistakes of the past. Ours is a youth-driven movement that envisions sovereignty as the vehicle to a freedom that has yet to be experienced by the African Diaspora,” according to fourhundredandone.com.
Police sources told Law Officer that Austin Police Department has recently become aware of this development. It has reportedly caught many people by surprise.
Orisha Land is a zone in East Austin. The 11 mile perimeter is formed by Manor Rd., 51st Street, Springdale Rd., 7th Street, I-35, Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., and Franklin St., according to the group’s map.
“Jordan’s Place, the capital of Orisha Land and formerly known as Rosewood Park, is located at 2300 Rosewood Avenue, on the side of the park closest to Pleasant Valley,” according to the website.
“Jordan’s Place” is named in memory of Jordan Walton who reportedly died in an officer-involved shooting on Feb. 10, according to the website. (Law Officer did not locate a press statement from Austin Police Department regarding the shooting. We made an inquiry and are waiting to hear back.)
The group says it is “specifically for the Black unhoused population; claiming and defending the park in a show of resistance against anti-Black violence, the gentrification of East Austin, and the state’s antagonism of those in Austin who are without housing.” The group says, “Orisha Land is a component of 400+1’s broader #MartialtheBlock campaign, an effort to reclaim Black communities” due to their perceptions of injustice.
Moreover, “Martial the Block is a call to action that implores Black communities to reclaim the power of the people by imposing the law of the vanguard,” the website says.
“Under the law of the vanguard, revolutionary law, police are abolished, defanged, and held accountable for the war crimes committed against oppressed people,” they claim.
Furthermore, under their revolutionary law, the following rules apply: “There is no private property and food is grown on every lawn.” “The health and safety of members of our society are prioritized over profit always, but especially during global health crises and natural disasters.” “Reproductive equity means freedom from the exploitation of wage labor, sex free of stigma and constraint, free and accessible abortion, a right to pleasure flowing wild and uninhibited, and safe, happy, power-balanced child rearing.” “Direct democracy reigns supreme and the space for the corruption of true democratic principles is eliminated.” “The Earth can breathe again and balance returns to the Universe.” The group repeatedly mentions some form of “destabilizing” governance.
“400+1’s movement strategy is three-pronged. We exist to build a revolutionary vanguard, destabilize systems of oppression, and build alternatives to which Black folx can flee, build capacity, and become revolutionaries themselves.” AND…
“Along the way to our liberated future, we will solidify a revolutionary vanguard dedicated to building alternatives and destabilizing oppressive institutions.”
The website also mentions “resistance.”
“Along the way to our liberated future, we will establish Black intentional living communities at which the Black masses can learn, heal, celebrate, and prepare to resist.”
The development of Orisha Land is alarming. The impact it will have on the area as well as the city/police response is yet to be determined. You can read more at their website.
Law Officer has reached out to the Austin Police Department as well as Mayor Steve Adler’s office. We will publish their response once it’s received. Update: The members of Orisha Land have been apparently served with a notice to vacate. In response, one of their leaders said, “In case it’s not f***ing clear, we are not f***ing going anywhere.”
Boy. These black commies are on a trip. Aren’t they?
Black Liberation Theology is a cross between communism/marxism and black supremacy. It is the theology of 0bama’s church. They believe in expelling or “getting rid” of non blacks and taking all of their stuff.
I’m sure the DOJ has given Orisha its stamp of approval.
I wonder what happens if some Hispanic gangs take offense? Would there be enough popcorn?
That said, I imagine the real target is any non black property or store owners in the perimeter.
Insurrection!
I see these children are playing their fantasy games. But let’s see how they fare when whitey stops funding it.
Talk about an oxymoron.
Build a wall around the place to keep them in. Give it a year & the place wont be fit for rats & roaches, while the violence will yield dead bodies strewn about like the piles of garbage. Utopia has been tried many times before.
wakanda forever
OK, let them try autonomy, including FISCAL autonomy.
I mean, they do reject the US...
“Reproductive equity means freedom from the exploitation of wage labor, sex free of stigma and constraint, free and accessible abortion, a right to pleasure flowing wild and uninhibited, and safe, happy, power-balanced child rearing.”
Gonna be mud huts and loin cloths, maybe a plate in the lip. Good luck with all that. This is ridiculous. They are just wanting to lay around and fornicate.
Here’s the whitewashed (no pun intended) variation of the story from an NBC affiliate (”anarchists” - imagine if they were white). Apparently, they’re getting booted from the park.
Not the first time.
Black Families Pool Resources, Buy 90 Acres of Land to Create ‘Safe City’ Likened to ‘Wakanda’
September 1, 202062
Start a city that could be a shining example of being the change you want to see. We wanted to be more involved in creating the lives we really want for our Black families. And maybe, just maybe, create some generational wealth for ourselves by investing in the land. Investing in creating a community that is built around our core values and beliefs.”
.......
“Amass land, develop affordable housing for yourself, build your own foodsystems, build manufacturing and supply chains, build your own home school communities, build your own banks and credit unions, build your own cities, build your own police departments, tax yourselves and vote in a mayor and a city council you can trust,” she writes.
“Build it from scratch! Then go get all the money the United States of America has available for government entities and get them bonds. This is how we build our new Black Wall Streets. We can do this. We can have Wakanda! We just have to build it for ourselves!”
Segregation now, segregation forever.
Exactly. CHAZ lasted until the rapes, robberies and deaths forced its termination.
I am sure that “destabilizing oppressive institutions” means everyone that is not them.
Nice of them to make their own Ghetto.
This third world crap won’t fly in Texas. Even Austin.
So I guess we can stop all commerce and deliveries, and utilities into the area. They can produce their own food, fuel and electricity. Develop their own banking, etc. Demand official passports to leave the area. We can also stop the welfare payments. That could be a win.
