On the night of December 6th, 16 year old Alexandros 'Alexis'
Grigoropoulos was shot and murdered by
the Greek Pig State. Almost
instantaneously, workers, students and immigrants took to the streets
to denounce the killing of Alexis. Since that murderous night on
December 6th, Greece has turned into what can only be described as a
civil war.
On December 20th 2008, people all across the world will take to the
streets to show solidarity with the Greek Uprising as an international
day of action against state murder. In Syracuse, we will respond to
this call to action by marching in solidarity with the Uprising and
against all state murders. We will not forget the friends and comrades
whose lives have been stolen by the state, a system with it's
foundations rooted in murder and repression.
We will gather to honor Alexis and the many lives cut short; we will
gather to the poetry of the revolt, the many statements insisting that
the problems faced in Greece are the same problems across the world,
that we
must struggle not only to fight for better conditions, but
also for our dreams, our imaginations, to take our lives and
creativity back from capital, the state, and oppression. The memory of
young Alexis, and all those murdered by the state to silence social
movements, deserves nothing less than we fight for a better world in
their memory.
Wear black to mourn our comrades and join us on Saturday, December
20th at 5pm in Hanover Square for this international day of action!
