Hi, y’all! My friend Aaliyah moved out of an unsafe family home a year ago and is now fully supporting herself. Recently, she turned 20 and learned she was pregnant. Her pregnancy complications and disability have exacerbated her stress to make ends meet and have made it extremely difficult to pay for her bills, rent, and groceries. Please share this post and support her! I am currently redistributing mutual aid funds directly to her. VENMO: JO-OUYANG, CASHAPP: $ALMAAHMAR

Hi SEASI friends and community!

We are excited to share an event that has been in the works for a few months now. Building on our speaker series from last year, we are excited to announce a talk with Professor Vicente L. Rafael, Professor of History and Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Washington in Seattle.

President Rodrigo Duterte’s term ended in May 2022 amid a violent drug war and the hardships of the COVID pandemic. Yet, surveys indicated that the president’s astronomic popularity did not suffer significantly. His job approval rating remained high—as much as 91% according to one poll–even as the majority of the people had become increasingly pessimistic about the state of the country.

Why this massive popularity amid the most catastrophic of conditions? How was it that a mass murderer continued to register such highly positive ratings? Why did his governance by fear meet with such widespread approval? Or is it the case that by focusing on Duterte, we’ve missed something much more fundamental, namely the persistence of structures of power that envelop and enable the survival of sprawling urban communities where his support was most evident? How did his authoritarian imaginary circulate and reinforce existing notions of community? That is, how did a certain fantasy about sovereign power—the power to decide who shall live and who shall die—oscillate between ruler and ruled? Indeed, is there something about the construction of community that preceded and will continue beyond Duterte’s regime– something about the logic and logistics of living together–that also create the conditions for cultivating violence and spreading death?

Join us on September 26, 2023 at 3 PM in the Petteruti Lounge in the Stephen Roberts' Campus Center. RSVP in link recommended for updates before the event, but not mandatory. We hope to see you all there!!

A/APA is in solidarity with the communities residing on occupied Hitchiti Land, otherwise known as Atlanta and DeKalb County, and resisting the efforts of the Atlanta Police Foundation and the City of Atlanta to build the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center. The construction of the $90 million "Cop City" will create environmental degradation, increased policing and surveillance of Black communities, and an alarming precedent for the continued construction of militarized zones across many other US cities at the expense of citizens. A/APA staunchly opposes the anti-Blackness, anti-Indigenous, carceral, and capitalist logic and rhetoric that underlie the actions of the City of Atlanta as they continue to value profits over the lives of marginalized community members, including Black, Indigenous, disabled, low-income, working-class, and all communities disproportionately impacted by policing and state violence. We urge you to directly support the liberation and protection of communities organizing to Stop Cop City by going to http://CopCityVote.com, providing mutual aid (monetary and material support), volunteering time and energy by phone banking to ensuring that Atlantans sign the petition to Stop Cop City, and amplifying the voices of these martyrs, comrades, and organizers fighting for community safety.
