about

In the face of growing efforts to police our communities, we must forge alliances to challenge systems of repression and build power in our communities. Understanding prisons, borders, surveillance and policing as tools of global repression is critical to building and maintaining powerful movements for liberation. Gentrification in our streets is colonialism elsewhere. The War on Terror we are living through today is a new formulation of the War on Drugs, and the violence inflicted on our communities necessitates a unified stance against all forms of repression from the US to Brazil, to the Philippines and Palestine.

We ask our allies and partners to adopt these principles and take a stand against the policing and repression of our communities.

The tools, strategies, and tactics shared at Urban Shield will not only increase the opportunities for state violence in Oakland but across the globe in communities that show resilience and resistance in the face of oppression. Become a part of a growing resistance to increased police militarization and repression in Oakland and across the country demanding community self-determination to keep us all safe. 

NO URBAN SHIELD

LYRICS:

I'm beefed out with the FBI
Im beefed out with the CIA
Im beefed out with the I.C.E.
And cash still tryna rule everything round WE

_ _ why more police up in the hood
Why we leapin off a cliff dreamin wishin shoulda, woulda, coulda
Feeling like im facing king koopa
They quick to shoot ya, that
Violence, repression, that new old message

We demand schools
You supply tools
De - struc - ting
Everything around me cash rules
U.S. Occupation shooting triggaz from isreal
Our taxes are supporting a war crime deal

_ urban Shield with the shots from the steel
They want more cops
On the blocks, shits real
Stand up, fight back, resist state violence
To state prisons, they makin them private
Eye lids

Wide open, pull together, gotta get focused
They tryna control us
No joke in
Gotta get swollen
What's that mean?
More power, more police.
Profiting off genocide, more fund - ing

King kong bundy
In a country, in a community function
Pushin' people's, self de - ter - min - ation
We gotta raiz up
No more surveillance
Get yo lookin eyes up all the way from US

Drop the charges now,
and ya back the phvck up

De-fund activities with the police
War on terror
War on drugs
Boarder security
R U phvckin kiddin me
This is the land of the free

Sing!
