Solidarity With Jakhi McCray: Until All Walls Fall!
To comrade Jakhi McCray, and to all those resisting in the belly of the beast:
We, Liberation, write this letter in unwavering solidarity with Jakhi. As revolutionaries, as anti-imperialists, as comrades who have witnessed the bloody legacy of state terror from Attica to Gaza, from Ferguson to Rikers Island, we recognize his courage not as an isolated act, but as part of a long and righteous tradition of resistance. They say he destroyed $800,000 worth of police property. We say: the Imperial State has destroyed entire communities, generations, continents. They call him "armed and dangerous", while arming genocidal regimes and waging war against the poor, the colonized, and the dispossessed. The real danger to their system is not fire, it is political clarity. It is revolutionary love. It is his refusal to be broken.
We are enraged, but not surprised. The same system that labeled the Panthers a "threat to national security" now sets bounties on Black youth resisting imperialist violence. The same COINTELPRO that assassinated Fred Hampton and Geronimo Pratt now disguises itself in Homeland Security task forces and federal indictments. Jakhi is being targeted not because he is alone, but because he is not. Because he is part of a rising movement, one that remembers the martyrs, defends the living, and dreams beyond their cages.
We see through their repression and lies. We know that the violence of the State is a reaction to our growing power, our ability to disrupt the gears of genocide and profit. From the uprisings of 2020 to the encampments for Palestine, we have shown what is possible when solidarity becomes a weapon. They want to isolate him. We refuse. His name will not be forgotten. His struggle is ours.
We affirm his hope. We echo your resolve. We extend to him and his loved ones not just words, but commitment, to build defense infrastructure, to educate, to mobilize, and to never forget our political prisoners and persecuted comrades. He will not face this alone.
To the movement: Let us not mourn in silence. Let us organize in defiance. Let us remember that solidarity is not a feeling, it is a material force. Now is the time to raise funds, spread Jakhi’s story, and prepare for what comes next. If they think jailing one of us will stop us, they haven’t understood the depth of our collective rage or love.
To you, Jakhi: You are part of us. And wherever you are, inside or outside, you are not alone.
Until all cages fall.
In militant unity,
Liberation
