This album is to create funds for prisoners of Kill the Bill (KTB) protests in March of 2021. The funds raised will be donated to the Bristol Anarchist Black Cross who organise the crucial work to support the prisoners. We have pieced this together from several members of our community from across the country who have been kind enough to provide tracks for this album. A massive thanks is also in order to @mollyydrew for the album cover!
At the time of writing we have seen 30 comrades imprisoned for fighting an authoritarian piece of legislation. They collectively have been sentenced to 94 years and eights months, a lifetime spent in prison. Their liberty has been taken away from them by the machinations of the British state. This loss of liberty is exposure to the true nature of the state’s monopoly of violence where they will witness those who lose their lives to the prison system. The UK may not have the death penalty but the penalty of prison for some is death. They have lost their freedom, so we must use ours to support them whilst they are captives of the state.
These comrades are friends, travelers, fellow ravers, squatters, activists and chosen family members. Some of these people we have never met, some of them we have but one thing is certain and that is we must support each and every one of them because I know that in our community they would support us if we were in their place.
“The freedom we want, for ourselves and for others, is not an absolute metaphysical, abstract freedom which in practice is inevitably translated into the oppression of the weak; but it is real freedom, possible freedom, which is the conscious community of interests, voluntary solidarity.”
― Errico Malatesta
