📣FTP Action in Brooklyn📣 Pasala, pasala sin miedo- El tren, el tren es para el Pueblo! 💥Just received this video of an autonomous action this morning in #Brooklyn! We were told this happened at Borough Hall station in front of the Brooklyn court houses. NYC out in these streets protesting the criminalization of poor black+ brown people on the subway! Fuck your fare! POVERTY IS NOT A CRIME! #FTP3... it's a city-wide ting💥

✨We wanted to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who has helped out with our vendor defense project. Whether you’ve come out to help with the rapid response network or you’ve helped us with our fundraisers, or if you’ve donated money, we wanted to take a moment to say we appreciate ya sooo much.💓🙏🏾 With your support, we’ve been able to help Bushwick street vendors get back on their feet after the pigs have attempted to destroy their means of making a living and terrorize them out of our shared spaces. With over $3K raised, we have been able to supply vendors with much needed gloves, masks, garbage bags, aprons, and funds to help pay their thousand dollar fines and to replace equipment taken by the NYPD. The fight for our community will be a long one and we will need each other to win. To all the scumbags who claim to run this city: the blood sucking landlords, the fascist reactionaries in office, the two-faced “progressives” who pretend their hands are tied by “stakeholders,” and the nazi pigs in the NYPD who carry out their will: we, the people will defeat you because we stand together. Thank you for standing together. 🙏🏾 👩🏻‍💻If you wanna get involved in our work, or are looking for more info, follow us @micasaresiste and @nycmigrantsolidarity . Para todos todo. Porque el barrio unido jamás será vencido.✊🏾 🗓️special shoutout to @punksisyuppies who has been organizing 🧷punk shows in Brooklyn to support our fundraising efforts- come and join us at the next punk show fundraiser on New Years Eve!

Pásala, pásala, pásala sin miedo! El tren, el tren, el tren es para el Pueblo! Pigs off our trains and off our streets! Public transit should be free! Just a reminder that the ever rising fare of public transit in NYC is class warfare, especially when we already suffering from skyrocketing rent and food prices. The City should be funding public transit for the people, but instead they are giving our taxpayer money to expand police presence and violence to protect property of the oligarchs on Wall Street. Therefore fare evasion is not only for survival, but a form of protest, especially when the NYPD thinks fare evasion warrants a bullet to the head of New Yorkers.

The vendors at Myrtle/Wyckoff Plaza and Myrtle/Knickerbocker are organized and demanding better treatment and conditions from the city. Tonight, at a meeting organized by elected officials, they demanded solutions that don’t involve the NYPD and their increased raids and crackdowns on vendors who are trying to make a living safely. We know the police do not make us safe. Workers are tenants and we all deserve to live and work in dignity. Support street vendors in our neighborhood (and citywide!) and follow our friends at @micasaresiste and @nycmigrantsolidarity to learn how you can support their work.

A reminder from Bushwick-grown homie about the realities low-income BIPOC neighbors face living in Bushwick while rent and luxury housing goes up all around us, displacing our kin for wealthy gentrifiers to move in, while other luxury developments in the area stay empty, and so many families are living on the streets. This is why it’s so important to join local tenant unions like @bhipbk @ridgewoodtenantsunion and local organizations like @maydayspace @bushwickayudamutua @club_a_nyc @nycmigrantsolidarity @milmundosnyc amd @foodfightbk building community solidarity and power in Bushwick and Ridgewood… because all we got is each other, and we must build each other up everyday to survive and thrive together, while we resist the capitalist predator class.

Check out this statement by @frackouttabk homie & organizer @m3ganth, which was read to the EPA earlier today at a meeting where they were supposed to give local community advocates updates on what progress EPA has made to remedy racist actions taken when they permitted National Grid to build their toxic fracked gas pipeline though majority black and brown working class neighborhoods, putting us in imminent danger, all mentioned in Federal Complaint. They had zero updates. None. Government will not save us. Only we can save us. • Sharing this from a meeting this morning. Stay up on what is happening in your city. The EPA lawyers they sent to placate us did not have much to say. Not even “a we’re working on it”. If you want to know more follow @frackouttabk

An elderly man was sent to the hospital after police officers enforcing the City's street vendor rules in Bushwick this week injured his head, family members and witnesses said. Sanitation Department police and NYPD officers showed up Monday at the plaza outside the Myrtle-Wyckoff subway stop to ticket and confiscate wares from unpermitted vendors—an enforcement blitz that has been happening more frequently in recent months, locals said. Jose Vivas, 66, was injured while clinging onto the food cart belonging to his family, as cops attempted to yank it away. "He was hurt in his ear. He was shaking. He was in pain in his head. His hands had marks," said Christian Yancha, 36, who is married to Vivas's granddaughter. "He said that somebody hit him in the head." Cops attempted to seize a cart operated by Vivas's daughter selling cevichochos, a white bean dish from the Andes. The family recently tried to apply for a permit to vend legally but were turned away, told there was a decade-long waiting list. Vivas, who lives in Ecuador and is in New York visiting his family for a few months, latched onto the cart when he saw his daughter get pushed. "I was trying to talk to the police officers, trying to say, 'He’s old, he’s disabled…let him go for now,'" said Yancha, a Marine serving at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina who is also in town visiting family. "They didn’t want to listen. It was pretty rough." Vivas, who is blind in one eye and only fluent in the indigenous language Quechua, was taken by ambulance to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center, where he spent six hours in the emergency room. Cops ultimately confiscated the cart and gave the family $3,000 in tickets.

On May 19, 2024 we held our second neighborhood tenants march for Palestine to stand in solidarity with our Palestinian comrades in commemorating Nakba Day, which takes place annually on May 15. As with all the marches we organize, we wanted this march to be a way for everyone that joined to learn about places in our neighborhood that are points of struggle and organizing. We wanted to particularly speak to how connections can be made to the ongoing genocide at the hands of the Israeli government and the importance of being committed to organizing to dismantle what oppresses us. Thank you to everyone that joined us and made sure we were all safe. Long live Palestine.

🗣️ Mayor piggy Adams is trying to kill street vending culture in NYC. This is what happens to street vendors all over nyc, as the city sanitation dept continues to use the NYPD to harass and displace poor people for the sake of property and profit, depriving the poorest of our neighbors a means of survival. 🤬And on top of all this, 🐖 throw away all food confiscated from vendors, when there are so many people houseless and starving on the streets. Do you want to support local street vendors? 💸Please donate materials or funds so we can replace items confiscated by the🐷 by DMing us @micasaresiste . ✊🏾✊🏽✊🏿You can also join our rapid response network by filling out the volunteer form in link in bio (esp bushwick locals & spanish speakers).

DONATE & SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL STREET VENDOR! (Volante en Espanol ➡️ ) While mayor 🐖 Adams uses the media to scapegoat and dehumanize migrants in NYC, the NYPD represses and threatens the livelihood of our most impoverished neighbors. We must not turn a blind eye to the oppression of our local street vendors, and as neighbors we must stand in solidarity with them always. 🐷Aggressive law enforcement is driving local Bushwick vendors out of business and creating significant obstacles for them to operate legally. The city continues to unfairly target hardworking individuals who strive to comply with challenging regulations while offering affordable goods and services to the community. In response, we are collecting donations from our community to support local street vendors. If you would like to donate any of these items, please 💬DM us @micasaresiste or make a 💰Venmo donation to us @micasaresiste so that we may purchase these items that are often confiscated by the cops. Every little bit helps 🙏🏾 ✊🏾We are also mobilizing a rapid response team to deter, de-escalate, and document instances of policy and city harassment against street vendors. If you reside near the Myrtle-Wycoff plaza and can be available on short notice to respond when harassment is reported, we encourage you to join the rapid response team and aid in protecting some of our most vulnerable community members. Training and orientation sessions will be provided. Please sign up using the link provided below! 🔗 LINK IN BIO Bit.ly/mwrapidresponsevolunteer
