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.”
Black activists haven;t even figured Hispanics in the mix..Wait until the dem party doesn’t answer them anymore and only talks to their favored minority group,Hispanics that can take over a state...Which the black population could never do...
Black liberation and prosperity
That line cracked me up and I have only had one sip of coffee.
Austin should immediately cut off all electricity and water utilities to the area.
You want your "own land"? Have at it.
In choosing to segregate, or be autonomous from Texas and the United States... no more welfare no more police or other public service unless paid for. No nothing.
Oh... and about the land.... it ain’t yours, but you’ll pay a price to Mr. Darwin for it. Enjoy your little slice of wakanda.
In California,the Mexican gangs drove blacks out... In a few years there won;t be any blacks in Texas or Arizona....As Hispanic population grows,blacks will be forced back into the south..Hispanics 65 million vs blacks 45 million and that’;s before the outpouring across the border now....In 2 years it will be 100 million Hispanics,vs 45 million blacks
It looks like the same kind of “folx” that sold their brothers into slavery 400 years ago want to recreate their greedy “tribe”...
...with (Surprise! Surprise!) THEMSELVES as its “chiefs”.
the biggest take away is , without help these people Are going to starve to death in a year. Grow your own food??? these peolple think macdonalds should pay 15 and hour and now they are going to grow food for free for everyone??? Lolololololololol PLEASE STOP!! I cant catch my breath
With that experience I can guarantee that just about every African in Africa would sell their soul for a chance to live in this country. And if they were allowed to do so they'd make far,*far*,better citizens than these parasites do. They'd work harder,they'd obey the law....
Chicago in Texas! Sounds like a plan
They want to create a Warsaw Ghetto FOR THEMSELVES??
Haiti
Liberia.
Amen!
Orisha Land should be a great place to send all of the illegals entering the country.
They can apply for Foreign Aide fron the Federal Government. Big Money
Immediately cut off water and electricity and let them get their own somehow. Start fresh, as it were.
The Hispanics will cut a wide path without remorse.
I worked with a whole bunch of Nigerians. Hard working, pleasant good people. Their opinion of most African Americans? Unprintable here.

Wait, wait, wait. Feb. 10 of this year?
And what is this "reportedly" business? Did it did or did it not happen? Where's the edited video? Where's the wall-to-wall coverage? What are the names of the cracker officers and their home addresses?
