We are uplifting a call from our community to gather for an annual anarchist tradition- a New Years Eve Noise Demo!
7pm, Sunday December 31st

meet at 630 Pack Square (the ampitheater). Dress warm & bring noise makers!

For years and across different cities and towns, anarchists and abolitionists have gathered outside of jails, prisons, detention centers, and other sites of human cages. We gather to make noise and show solidarity with those trapped behind bars. As the new year arrives yet again- we yet again find ourselves restating the same firm belief that all prisoners are political prisoners. The prison industrial system is deadly mechanism of control and domination. What would the future of our communities look like if our family and community members weren’t stuck behind bars because they can’t make bail? You can participate in two crucial ways-

  1. donate to Asheville Community Bail Fund at @avlcommunitybail on paypal, check out their website and follow them on instagram (@avlbail)
  2. come out on NYE and make some noise
