Mathematicians are threatening to boycott the field’s largest, most prestigious gathering this summer
if it takes place in the U.S., as currently planned.

Every four years since the turn of the twentieth century,
the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) has brought together mathematicians from all over the world to share the latest breakthroughs and plot the field’s future.

Famous speeches delivered at the congress have gone on to redefine entire subfields of math.

The ICM is also where math’s most hallowed prize, the Fields Medal, is awarded.

This July, the ICM is slated to take place in Philadelphia
—the first time in 40 years that it’s been held in the U.S.

Now a petition to move the event elsewhere is circulating among mathematicians.

It cites the recent American military actions in Venezuela and Iran,
the suspension of visas from 75 countries
and the continued presence of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents across major U.S. cities
as contrary to the ICM’s goal of fostering “a sense of international unity amongst mathematicians.”

As of this writing, more than 1,500 mathematicians have signed the petition,
which states that they plan to boycott the event if it isn’t moved outside the U.S.

The list of signatories includes many of the field’s most prominent names,
more than 50 of whom have spoken at previous congresses.

One would think, logically, that a “no kings” sentiment for Saturday’s rallies would make the connection to a “no cops” one too. After all, as the nursery rhyme goes, “All the king’s horses and all the king’s men”—perhaps a monarchical version of present-day police on horses, bikes, or motorcycles—can’t fix this broken world; indeed, they broke (and break) it!

But sadly, this blandly passive-liberal day has, at least in terms of its key NGO promoters, tended to not only ignore the fact that “kings” need enforcers for their regimes but also that the “subjects” they’re urging to fill the streets on these Saturdays somehow need “policing” too. We wouldn’t want the peasantry to rise up, right? So whether police in blue or those in yellow, the No Kings’ top-down organizers have a vested interest in containing any sort of abolitionist sentiments. “Abolition,” to be worthy of its name, would, I’d contend, involve abolishing hierarchy and domination in all of its forms: presidents and their states, cops and courts, prisons and borders, electoral politics and nonprofits…

So to all the riffraff and rabble-rousers, heretics and and other good troublemakers, if you’re planning to go to a “No Kings” stand-around-and-do-almost-nothing gathering, bring along your best “No’s” to kings, presidents, dictators, fascists … and police, among other collaborators with deadly social orders. Not that I’m advocating any specific self-organized actions, mind you. But that could look like blanketing the rallies with “Never, ever talk to cops”-type literature, stickers, banners, and buttons; doing DIY “workshops” on the streets that aim to educate folks that “We don’t talk to police” and how “We’d feel safer without police”; practicing forms of “We keep each other safe” while being ungovernable in direct contrast to any “peace police” striving to command-and-control; and other creative ideas that aid folks in breaking free of the myth that any type of police, as institutions of systemic violence, are good.

The Prairieland verdict opens the door for further attacks against protesters as well as warping and altogether manufacturing evidence as a means for this administration to crush them.
