NYC ABC mourns the death of Sekou Odinga, whom we were honored to count as both our comrade and our friend. Where to even begin to describe the impact and importance Sekou had on the movement? From the early days of the NYC Black Panther Party (BPP) to the International Section of the BPP, to the Black Liberation Army, to his time as a political prisoner and eventual release, to his subsequent tireless advocacy for the PP’s and POW’s still being held behind walls with the Northeast Political Prisoner Coalition and others, Sekou’s presence in the movement was unmatched. We worked with Sekou on ..read more

NYC ABC is saddened by the death of Ed Poindexter, and angered that he died behind bars. A long time Black liberation militant, Ed was afforded neither the justice nor the health care he deserved by the truly criminal “justice system.” This is unfortunately what we have to come to expect from the carceral state’s treatment of Black, Brown and Indigenous political prisoners who are locked up for struggling for their communities. Ed’s life and commitment to freedom and dignity for all is an example we will try harder to live by. Until all are free. -NYC ABC ..read more

Running Down the Walls 2023 has come and gone. Here in NYC we had a beautiful day to do it, the mid-September New York weather finally feeling like autumn instead of a desert summer. Both Prospect Park and the City itself seemed even busier than usual, with buskers, vendors and birthday parties nearby and marches and rallies elsewhere in town. In coordinating a multi-city run with organizers on both sides of the walls, we have to find a day that works for everyone involved as much as possible. As it turned not out only did Sunday, September 17 this year land during Rosh Hashanah, but both the ..read more
