Black Rose / Rosa Negra Anarchist Federation - Upstate NY

Black Rose / Rosa Negra Anarchist Federation - Upstate NY This is the Upstate New York local of the Black Rose Anarchist Federation, an organization of active

We are an organization of revolutionaries who share common visions of a new world - a world where people collectively control our workplaces, communities and land and where all basic needs are met. A world wherepower and participation flow from the bottom upwards and society isorganized for people’s aspirations, passions, and needs rather thanprofit, racial prejudice, patriarchy, or imperialism; and where we live sustainably with the planet. We believe that this vision can only be brought about through therevolutionary power of the working class organized in the workplaces, community, schools, and streets to overthrow the state and capitalism andbuild a new world from the bottom up. As those actively seeking to construct this vision we are inspired by thetraditions of anarchist communism, anarcho-syndicalism, feminism, q***r liberation, abolitionism, anti-racism and their history of global struggle for liberation. We believe in the need for a political home from which toorganize ourselves and put forward our vision. We believe in the need to create spaces for the development of new revolutionaries that allowthe grouping together of similarly minded militants. We see the need to build a specifically anarchist organization united around a common set of ideas, strategy, and practice. We believe that political organizationshould speak to the needs of our time, and act as a catalyst in strugglesto expand their revolutionary potential. Political organization should be a vehicle to build, contribute to, and learn from social struggles.

Somos una organización de revolucionarias y revolucionarios quienes compartimos visiones comunes de un mundo nuevo – un mundo donde controlemos nuestros lugares de trabajo, comunidades y tierras y donde se satisfagan todas las necesidades básicas. Un mundo donde el poder y la participación fluyan desde abajo hacia arriba y la sociedad se organice por las aspiraciones, pasiones y necesidades de la gente en vez de las ganancias, los prejuicios raciales, el patriarcado o el imperialismo; y donde vivamos en unas relaciones sostenibles con el planeta. Creemos que aquella visión solo se puede llevar a cabo a través del poder revolucionario de la clase obrera organizada en los lugares de trabajo, las comunidades, las escuelas y las calles para derrocar el estado y el capitalismo y construir un mundo nuevo desde abajo hacia arriba. Como personas buscando construir esta visión estamos inspiradas por las tradiciones del comunismo libertario, el anarcosindicalismo, el feminismo, la liberación “q***r,” el abolicionismo, el anti-racismo y sus historias de lucha global por la liberación. Creemos en la necesidad de un hogar político de donde organizarnos y proponer nuestra visión. Creemos en la necesidad de crear espacios para el desarrollo de nuevas revolucionarias que permitan el agrupamiento de militantes con ideas afines. Vemos la necesidad de construir una organización específicamente anarquista unida alrededor de una serie común de ideas, estrategias y prácticas. Creemos que la organización política debe dirigirse a las necesidades de nuestros tiempos, y actuar como un catalizador en las luchas para expandir su potencial revolucionaria. Las organizaciones políticas deben ser vehículos para construir, contribuir y aprender de las luchas sociales.

In 2013 the Utica police killed Jessie Lee Rose - a native Mohawk-Tlinget teenager. Police terror and intimidation later ran Jessie's family out of the city. This tragedy could have been avoided. Jessie should still be with us today. Sending lots of love and solidarity to Jessie's family and friends this week.
