Anarchy in Wisconsin!

“NEVER FORGET: POLICE MURDERED DEREK WILLIAMS AND COVERED IT UP. A*C*A*B*”

To disrupt the everyday banality of grey concrete and buzzing motors, to show a flash of solidarity to our friends and allies fighting the cops in Milwaukee and Madison, and most of all, to express our grief toward Derek Williams‘ death and sympathy to his loved ones left behind, we woke up extra early to drop this banner over the interstate before early morning rush-hour. We did so to coincide with the  inquest of his killers this week. By chance, there was a minor semi truck accident prior to the banner drop, 200 feet ahead of the bridge, so cars drove past at extraordinarily slow speeds, which means they had plenty of time to read it.

While we know that banners alone could never bring about the fundamental social change needed in order to live in a world without murderous pigs, we hope that they could be used at this time to at least communicate messages to others, and to show our acknowledgement and solidarity to other struggles occuring in the occupied territory of “wisconsin”.  And to let you know that we are watching…
