Comrades,

Yesterday was the most important work the WI-JBGC has ever done, and I thank [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] for coming out.

The encampment is a beautiful sight which has shattered all myths from capitalists about human nature. Supplies are in abundance; food, medical, hygiene, necessities. And they're all free to take, and people only take what they need. Even Narcan! Brought to you by collective donations, in which we contributed water. Tents are propping up to offer food, promote art -- again, all for free. A statue was erected. People speak their truths freely in the forum. Yesterday, I came with the mission of support and providing medical aid, and that mission was a massive success.

Two days ago, the Party for Socialist Liberation (PSL) hijacked a march. What was intended to be disruptive, they ignored a proletarian, revolutionary by the name of [REDACTED] and instead lead the march on a walk. There was also an impromptu anti-socialist speaker (yesterday), an old white lady, go figure, which prompted me to get up and speak and denounce her rhetoric. While she got no applause, I got many. And this lead me to the honor of meeting other socialists.

One PSL member, to their credit, by the name of [REDACTED], came to me and asked my advice regarding getting the strategy of this movement developed. We agreed on the primacy of this strategy; (I) get everyone on the same page about rejecting co-optation from liberals, politicians, and non-profits, (II) gather people of specific skills and have them setup in the encampment to provide their services to make the encampment a central hub (which will attract greater people and make the encampment harder to disperse), and (III) create a vanguard; gather people who are willing to risk themselves for the movement and have them be the Community Defense force for the encampment.

We developed a list of 9 names. I will not discuss those names here, but I am honored to say that I was chosen to be among them. These names were chosen due to their adherence to socialist theory, their knowledge of the necessity to disruption, their likelihood of maintaining the movement in this direction and in compliance with our proposed strategy.

I discussed this plan with other socialists, such as [REDACTED] (who was fired from education after denouncing Charlie Kirk) and a Christian Socialist whose name I have unfortunately forgotten. They all agreed. I then took this plan to [REDACTED], one of the major speakers, his voice hoarse from crying and going without sleep for days. He pulled together the other primary organizers; [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. They all agreed with the plan, and once it was all on paper, we converged to make revisions.

Later that night, we took to State Street. An army of vehicles blocked off intersections. We chose two bars to shutdown for their racist practices, and that we did, using people as a barricade. These businesses profited heavily on their liquor license, and we knew that by disrupting them that they would call, angry, to the city and demand something be done. I am proud to say that I played a major part in this, directing barricades and protestors, giving briefings on the effects of chemical gas, should it be deployed.

I was also particularly honored to, prior to the march starting, [LONG REDACTION] [...] with aiding in the planning and execution of this event, being one of two people shown the plan beforehand so that I may offer advice.

We took the streets, yesterday, in a massively successful direct-action. Businesses called the police as we laughed at the doors. I joked at their police response; "what the fuck do you want us to do? did you see what we did?" The MPD were nowhere to be seen throughout the entire event, as if they had all retreated to their station and barricaded their doors.

I can never explain the feeling of being there. It felt like we were a revolutionary army marching victorious into the capital, unopposed by any force that matters. Hah! They even called the fire department, because the police were too afraid to show their faces! The FD didn't want none, either, they just sat at a distance.

"We do this until we free us."
