COMBINE x CROSSROADS

We published a special edition of the Brooklyn Combine paper, where we collaborated with the kids who are imprisoned and detained at Crossroads Juvenile Detention Center in Brownsville, Brooklyn. The topic of violence, race, culture and gangs are phenomenons that many parents, educators, jurists & many in the community either misinformed or ignorant to how these issues work together to destroy the lives of beautiful kids who have the capacity to do and be so much more. We have had the honor to get to know them and work with them to give them a voice and platform for their perspective through podcasts, film, writing, and photography….this issue is just the tip of the iceberg. The day those kids figure out who their real op’s are, this entire parasitic American paradigm gets turned on its head.

Come commemorate the 10th issue of the Combine community paper-The paper is in the spirit of Black independent papers challenging anti-blackness, empire, fascism, and the horrible violence and ignorance of white hegemony and capitalism.

There is a great legacy of such a paradigm from David Walker to Ida B. Wells to the Panthers to Gil Noble and Like it Is. We are simply trying to continue the legacy in a time where there is an absence of critical thinking, accountability and action.

We are all distracted by a seat at the table of leadership in both politics and entertainment (we have always had more people in the community than not who were down with whiteness)

Come get a free paper and catch a vibe and good music with our comrades and family at Mon 12/22 6-10pm
