Baltimore Rising - Sun. January 2- Call to Unite Baltimore Radicals against the Presidential Inauguration

Meeting of affinity groups to support each other and share ideas. Building a cluster of Baltimore radicals for the January 20 Presidential Inauguration.
BALTIMORE IS RISING!

The Baltimore Rising Cluster we are forming is not an umbrella
organization and has no decision making authority. It is a tool to connect
folks who want to work on similar actions, a forum to coordinate autonomous
counter-inaugeral working groups and a palce for participating
organizations to share information on the state of their planning adn to share
any needs and ideas.

We are coordinating housing for out of towners, legal trainings in and
for Baltimore folks heading to DC, ride shares, medical trainings for
those interested in being street medics, as well as have several people
representing the various tactics and actions that will be taking place
in DC, from the Turn Your Back On Bush() mobilization, to Anarchists, to
Queer Fist support work. This is a good oppportunity to plug into what
is going on and get the info you need to be on the streets of DC.

So come out this Sunday, January 2nd, to represent the Baltimore
radical community coming together against the Presidential Inauguration in
January. We hope to see many faces of the Baltimore radical communty to
meet and continue building links for local organizing.

Baltimore Rising

Bush([search])'s re-election promises to continue systemic attacks on
women, people of color and queer communities, a dramatic increase in
violence in
the middle east, and our families sinking deeper into poverty. Now as
always we need to see the faces of resistance our community in Baltimore
nurtures; to support each other as we seek change to the disastrous
path our "leaders" take us down.

The Baltimore Rising Cluster's goal is to mobilize Baltimore radicals
disenfranchised and alienated by American "democracy" to attend the
inaugural protests in Washington DC as a cluster of affinity groups.
The overall goal of which would be building community here at home,
watching each others back on the streets, and protecting unarrestables.

The intent of this is not to form a new organization but to create
space and means towards building community in Baltimore.

We feel we can use the January 20th Inauguration demonstrations in DC
to build community, connect struggles, and get to really know each other
and provide support to one another.
This cluster is also for people who feel frustrated and alienated by
traditional radical left organizing. We are creating space to set
realistic goals for this demo and not simply following formula with no
end.

Baltimore Rising seeks to confront Patriarchy, White Supremacy,
Homophobia, and Heterosexism, towards destroying Empire and Capitalism. We
seek to mobilize the radical community in Baltimore and work towards
Revolutionary Anti-Authoritarian alternatives towards empowering
ourselves and our communities.
