We see you! We love you! You are not alone!!!
It’s time for our annual NYE noise rally outside Broward Main Jail!!!! FNB Ft Lauderdale has been holding these rallies for decades, annually since at least 2017. Being incarcerated for the holidays is extra lonely & isolating, help us show prisoners they are not forgotten!
This is an international tradition by anarchist abolitionists to support incarcerated people on New Years Eve by ringing in the new year with them.
Please bring megaphones, noisemakers, instruments, or just your loudest voice and best dinosaur screech to show your support to those inside this holiday!
11:00pm at 555 SE 1st Ave, Fort Lauderdale, 33301
August 18, 1973, Audrey Moore, Pan-African Revolutionist addressing the survivors of the Attica Revolt in Green Haven Prison:
“She reminded her audience … that none of them had ever stolen entire countries, cultures, or peoples, or sold human beings into slavery for profit. Although some of them had tried to imitate the White Man, she continued, they had never really stolen and neither had they ever really murdered. “Have you taken mothers and strung them up by their heels?” she asked. “And took your knives and slit their bellies so that their unborn babies can fall to the ground? And then took your heel and crushed those babies into the ground? ... Have you dropped bombs on people and killed whole countries of people, have you done that brothers?” Given that American empire is constituted through apocalyptic violence and incalculable theft, Moore argued that “crimes” committed by the human spoils of war were necessarily derivative of the organized crime of the state.”

Bit of a shorter line last night so we delivered to-go containers all over the downtown area. Our friends reported to us that cops have been extra strict about sleeping on park benches downtown, driving folx further apart from their community as they’re forced to sleep in less visible spots.
Last night felt like a party though, folx were dancing to the music and there was plenty. As the State steps back from bribing us with benefits and doubles down on violent control, our chapter is growing stronger than ever. If we wanted to, we could do it all ourselves and dismiss this Empire’s relevancy entirely. Get involved by showing up to our weekly sharing on Tuesdays!
“I do not believe in government, and so I am an anarchist. I believe that government is one of the worst forms of modern oppression, is the source of war and economic oppression, and must be overthrown.“

This is what community, solidarity, and resilience looks like in Ft. Lauderdale, every Tuesday. We don’t wait for the government, we don’t ask permission, we get it done. Join us!
If you can’t make it out, please consider contributing to our cashapp: $FTLmutualaid
We also collect donations continuously of food, clothes, hygiene, camping supplies, portable chargers… really there isn’t much that we can’t find some use for. Our DMs are always open.
But we do urge you to come to the sharings and get involved with our chapter. Our sharings are movement infrastructure for many organizing projects from solidarity with Palestine to anti deportation work to prisoner solidarity. Just walk up and introduce yourself, masking required!
And we also encourage you to check out our sibling chapters in Miami, WPB, and Lake Worth: https://linktr.ee/SFLFNB
“I am not myself free or human until or unless I recognize the freedom and humanity of all my fellowmen... I am truly free only when all human beings, men and women, are equally free. The freedom of other men, far from negating or limiting my freedom, is, on the contrary, its necessary premise and confirmation.”
- Mikhail Bakunin
Join us every Tuesday for our weekly mutual aid sharing in Stranahan Park at Broward Ave and 1st St at 6:15pm! Bring vegan and vegetarian dishes to share, non-perishable foods, clothes & shoes, hygiene products, masks, Tylenol & other medical supplies, sleeping bags & tents, etc and be ready to help out. DM us if you’d like to donate any of these items but can’t attend on Tuesday.
Other ways to help include wearing a mask, writing to prisoners, attending prisoner solidarity rallies and/or our tabling for Palestine & Sudan, donating to our fundraisers or our cash app: $FtLmutualaid
Join Food Not Bombs’ decades long tradition of autonomous organizing for mutual aid and get to know leftist movements in South Florida along the way. Over 100 people are coming every week to eat and share in this community collective. At Food Not Bombs you will find the ones excluded by capitalism, the State, churches, non profits, and even the majority of “leftist” organizations. Just walk right up and introduce yourself no matter if you’re looking for a meal and/or to help out.
We can’t wait for leaders to protect our communities, we can all just pitch in to do it ourself. This is how we build a new world, from within the ruins of the old. We can’t wait to meet you!
