August 24, 4-6pm at @firestorm we're discussing the introduction and first chapter of Orisanmi Burton's "Tip Of The Spear: Black Radicalism, Prison Repression, and the Long Attica Revolt"
It which can be purchased at Firestorm with a book club discount in-store (but only if you ask in person for it). Fitting we would begin this book club during #BlackAugust, the book discusses the wider organizing and radical thrust that contextualized the Attica Uprising as well as interesting insights from folks on the ground in the midst of the revolt.

Black August starts soon. Usually I have others to participate with me, but since I don’t, I’m calling on those of you out there to get together in your cohorts, do 100 of something everyday with me for the month of August, and tell me how its going for you. Burpees, push-ups, sit-ups, a mile run/walk, 100 of some exercise for 31 days with me, that’d be rad! The key is unity, solidarity, so try to do them at least with one other person. You can split things up and make 100 squats into 50, plus its more fun together, and that’s what its about, what we can do together!
Love, rage, and solidarity
