SO MUCH LOVE AND SOLIDARITY to all of my friends and comrades who were getting shot, maced, and tear-gassed this weekend in defense of the Oakland Commune. The horror stories of police brutality at the Santa Rita jail, and songs of liberation that you crafted in the streets of the Bay Area, will be in my heart, giving me strength, forever and for always.

All cops are bastards, A-C-A-B! FtP forever and always.
LONG LIVE THE OAKLAND COMMUNE! EL PUEBLO, UNIDO, JAMAS SERA VENCIDO!

——————

The people united will never be defeated,
The people united will never be defeated…

Arise, sing
We are going to win.
Flags of unity
are now advancing.
And you will come
marching together with me,
and so you’ll see
your song and your flag blossom.
The light
of a red dawn
already announces
the life to come.

Arise, fight
the people are going to win.
The life to come
will be better.
To conquer
our happiness.
and a clamor
of a thousand fighting voices will rise,
speaking
a song of freedom.
With determination
the fatherland will win.

And now the people,
who are rising in struggle
with a giant voice
crying out: Forward!

The people united will never be defeated,
The people united will never be defeated…

The fatherland is
forging unity,
from north to south
they’re mobilizing.
From the salt mines
burning and mineral
to the southern forests.
united in struggle and labor
they go
covering the fatherland.
Their steps already
Announce the future.

Arise, sing
the people are going to win
millions now
are imposing the truth
Their steel battalions
are on fire,
taking in their hands
justice and reason.
Woman
with fire and courage
is already here
Along side the worker.
