An open letter to Eugene, Oregon's Chief of Police Chief Jim HillDear Jim,
This letter is to advise you that the June 18th Anarchist action in Eugene, Oregon was only one in a series of internationally organized demonstrations against capitalist dominance. Future events will occur every third Friday. The next event, will be peaceful, on Friday, July 16th at 3PM at Broadway Place, in honor of Governor Kitzhaber's "livability award."
As an Anarchist who is in solidarity with the mostly peaceful June 18th demonstrations that occurred in 100 cities, in 39 countries, I am both saddened and apologetic for the behavior of those who were unfairly harming or frightening members of our community.
But perhaps even more frightening is the current distribution of power and wealth on our planet, which is based on an economy of genocide and ecocide. Because of the ineffectiveness of our "Democracy," extreme life affirming acts of defiance are necessary.
June 18th was a world-wide demonstration of mostly peaceful, life affirming defiance. This event has the historic significance of the Boston Tea Party a hundred times over. Almost all of the events were peaceful. Unfortunately, In places like London and Eugene, many people were injured or harmed.
In Eugene this injury and harm stems from many years of police brutality, and human rights violations, as well as the corresponding half dozen "riots." These events have educated our community, especially the youth, in the tactics of battling Riot Police. We do not want to be combatants!
We merely want to be free of the societal oppression which stems from the greed and violence of the 500 people who own more then half the world's wealth. We must all work together to achieve this goal!
For the next several weeks we will be actively pursuing creative ideas that will allow for a safe, legal, public gathering on July 16th. Below is a preliminary announcement. It is my hope that through the advanced notice of our intentions, we will be able to work together to create positive, peaceful, opportunities for meaningful, "life-affirming," education, and subsequent rapid changes in our community.
Love,
