Florida parents, teachers and education workers are finding themselves in a uniquely precarious situation.  For one, they are contending
with threats from various state elements to force them to go back to school and to send their children to school. The commissioner of
education, Richard Corcoran, recently issued an executive order mandating that schools re-open for at least 5 days a week. This was amidst a
significant rise in COVID-19 cases, and while the majority of parents and educators "do not have faith that their school can be reopened
safely." Corcoran is probably trying to fall in line behind the current administration and its efforts to push for full re-opening.
He, a republican, has recently expressed praise of the regime in power and has even defended Trump's comments, in regard to Charlottesville,
saying that the president "...spoke well on Charlottesville." This was only exacerbated by the fact that Trump had "threatened to cut
federal funding for districts that defied his demand to resume classes in person."

In response to all of this, the Florida Education Association (FEA) has filed a lawsuit in order to "safeguard the health and welfare of
public school students, educators and the community at large." The suit is aimed at "...Governor Ron DeSantis, Commissioner of Education;
Richard Corcoran, the Florida Board of Education; the Florida Department of Education; and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez". What's
important to note here is that, according to a survey by the FEA, most teachers and parents are not comfortable with full re-opening. And of
the educators asked, who also have children of their own living at home, "only 15% are comfortable sending their own child back to school
this fall." Not only are parents and teachers worried about the spread of COVID, but there are other factors at play, too. One Florida
parent said that they are worried about a disaster scenario in which an outbreak occurs, and right-wing elements in Florida politics will
use it as a reason to justify further defunding of public education, which is already a huge problem.

The authoritarian and undemocratic approach of forcing schools to reopen, full scale, with no consideration of the advice from local or
regional health experts, reeks of impending tragedy. But also it shows how quickly our notions of being able to have a say in the way our
society operates can erode. What workers in all industries, including education, must rely on now is organizing together under the banner of
cooperation over competition and we must not acquiesce when mild reforms are given. This example in Florida reveals how the economic and
political elite have little to no regard to the lives of working people, even those who teach their children.

I met Pong in 2004. I saw him at a punk show all dressed up in punk battle attire alongside his friends Tonton and other Makati Punks. I
visited him at his meeting place in Makati, and then I learned that Pong lived in a jeepney[a sort of crossover between a jeep and bus]and
sometimes stayed in university rooms or at a friend's house in Makati. When his family moved to the relocation site in Cavite, Pong and his
older brother still remained in Makati. Pong was literally a nomad, moving from place to place. When I worked as a tricycle driver, Pong and
others visited me at our terminal and ate together after I finished my job. If we wanted to visit the anarchist space in Cubão, we would
sleep together on the streets at night.

Pong did not finish his study of graphic design and instead lived as a street punk and artist. He was the one who intensely made posters,
pamphlets for concerts and events, banners for any political activity such as demonstrations, hanging banners, etc. Its fort was black and
white drawings with a ballpoint pen. The images of his works were related to anti-war (Food Not Bombs), anti-civilization, counterculture
punk and anarchism. He was inspired by the Black Bloc, anarchist and zapatista personalities. You would see this in your sketchbook, zines
or recycled bond paper. Pong kept up to date with the socio-political events that were happening globally, and you could see that with his
drawings. I can say that he was an internationalist because of his concern for the situation around the world.

He drew Carlo Giuliani as a tribute to his death; Carlo Giuliani was an Italian anarchist who was shot by the police in the Anti-G8
mobilization of Genoa in 2001. In memory of Alexandros Grigoropoulos who was shot by special forces in Greece. Pong also drew images of him
supporting the December 2008 riots in Exarchia. He also made a portrait of Santiago Maldonado, an Argentine anarchist who was a victim of
enforced disappearance. An image of the Palestinian girl Ahed Tamimi was also in her art. When Tukijo, a farmer from Kulon Progo, was
released from prison, the anarchists celebrated this, and again Pong drew a portrait of him emerging from prison and embracing his
companion. I personally gave this Pong masterpiece to Tukijo when we visited him in Indonesia in 2015.

In 2005-06, we worked together with other friends to launch the "11 punks Sagada" campaign. Pong and I had many meetings with the Asian
Commission on Human Rights, as they were helping us in Manila with their legal advice, among other things. AHRC asked Pong to make an
illustration in solidarity with the victims of torture. We organized a demonstration, together with other friends from Manila, Cainta and
Bulacan, for the International Day against Torture that we held in Rotonda.

Pong was a dedicated enthusiast of anti-election propaganda through his creative illustrations that described the farce in the voting system.

Pong, as a street artist, portrayed images that were relatively important to him. He supported the indigenous struggle, not only Lumad for
his self-determination, but also the Zapatistas, an indigenous community that lives autonomously in Chiapas, Mexico. He criticized
urbanization, industrialization, poverty and the destruction of the environment. He was aware that capitalism and the state are primarily
responsible for the madness that happens in our world.

Most infoshops and autonomous spaces here in the Archipelago had paintings and murals made by Pong. He was willing to share his talent with
the community and friends; he liked to draw his friends' faces and give them as gifts. Most of the time, he drew in his notebook or asked a
friend if he could make a mural in his home. He had difficulty establishing prices for his work, as he was not comfortable seeing his work
of art as a commodity that needed to be bought. He was willing to offer it for free or for an exchange.

For me, I know that Pong generally had an anti-establishment and anti-institution critique, especially in the art world. As an artist, he
was not amazed or interested in putting his work in a closed gallery. He would be happy to expose his work in public places, streets, shows
/ events, neighborhood areas, abandoned buildings and invasion areas. I learned from him that for people to appreciate art it is necessary
to show it in public, so that people can question and create awareness. He has always participated in street art exhibitions such as the
"Lansangan Koneksyon" and "Sining sa Kalye" events. But because we are proud that his work has been shown in other spaces such as Galeria
Ishmael Bernal, we managed to convince him in 2012 to participate in a group exhibition.

In addition to punk, Pong had a mild taste in music. He introduced us to songs like "Tonight the Streets are Ours" by Richard Hawley and the
band CocoRosie. If he was staying here in our infoshop, we always talked about many things like love life, family matters, socio-political
issues, gossip, etc. He loved watching movies with my girlfriend, and they stayed up all night watching movies.

Pong not only inspired people, but CHALLENGED each one of us, showing that although life is difficult, anyone can do something different.

PONG IS NOT DEAD
HE WILL STAY WITH US

Ada Marti. Un grito en la noche  is a book that Abel Paz - pseudonym of Diego Camacho Escámez - had in preparation for a long time and was
unable to publish in life, and which now appears under the title of  Ada Martí. An anarchist woman (Biographical essay). Ada was a myth for
Diego. Young, attractive both intellectually and personally, a member of the Student Federation of Free Consciences (FECL), she represented
the prototype of the intellectual libertarian woman, as well as Concha Liaño and Soledad Estorach of the popular libertarian woman, myths
that have accompanied her throughout her life. In addition to the biographical text, it includes as an attachment an interview with José del
Amo and the testimony of Antonio Pérez González, who was part of the original FECL group. This edition is complemented by a collection of
photographs and documents that review Ada Martí's life trajectory, some explanatory footnotes and several articles.

>> Abel Paz

Abel Paz. He was a self-taught anarchist historian. Born in Almería in 1921, he spent his childhood and youth in the anarcho-syndicalist
environments that had so much presence in Barcelona at the time. Exiled to France in 1939, he suffered the exile camps and labor companies
of the German occupation until he fled and entered Spain to fight against Francoism. In prison, convicted in a War Council, he started a
rosary of prisons until in 1954 he broke his provisional freedom, marching to France. Toulouse, Brezolles, Clermont-Ferrand and Paris are
part of their physical geography at that time, as Antonia Fontanillas, Abelina Ronchera and Jenny Benimeli will be part of their sentimental
geography. After the death of the dictator, he returned to Spain, where he developed an intense activity to spread libertarian ideas,

....to say enough, the social revolt flooded the entire region dominated by the State, which responded with torture, death, rape and prison,
however, the tentacles of domination not only took up the weapons of terrorism and repression but also those of politics, and on a night
where the general strike for life threatened the bourgeois order, holding hands, the parties of order signed with the blood of our dead the
Agreement for Social Peace and the New Constitution.

The restitution process has been erected with more than two thousand political prisoners, with more than four hundred mutilated and with a
State of Permanent Exception, for this reason it is dangerous for the communities in struggle to think that the ballot box can replace the
street, the protest and mobilization. Only through organization and direct action are we going to achieve the most heartfelt demands of our
class and not through the illusions and shortcuts that the ruling class has imposed.

FREEDOM TO THE PRESXS POLITIXS OF THE REVOLT!
TO ROOT THE ANARCHISM!
LET THE URN NOT REPLACE THE STREET!

Presents the book Massimo Varengo di Zero in C ondotta at 6 pm at the royal gardens - corso san Maurizio corner via Rossini (if it rains you
can move to Dora park) ---- Ideas such as self-management, direct democracy and mutual support have been supported and defended both by the
anarchism that saw the light in 19th-century Europe and by many indigenous peoples who have spontaneously put them into practice since time
immemorial. This book analyzes the relationship between these two worlds and does so with the desire to encourage, at the same time, a
definitive decolonization of anarchist thought itself. It is also an introduction to the often forgotten reality of the anarchist movements
that took shape in America, Africa, Asia and Oceania.

Carlos Taibo is Professor of Political Science at the Autonomous University of Madrid. Among his works we find Repensar la anarquía (Los
Libros de la Catarata, Madrid, 2013), ¿Tomar el poder o construir la sociedad desde abajo? (Los Libros de la Catarata, Madrid, 2015),
Anarquismo y revolución en Rusia (1917-1921) (Los Libros de la Catarata, Madrid, 2017), Libertari @ s. Antología de anarquistas y afines
para use de las generaciones venideras, y de las que no lo son tanto (Los Libros de la Catarata, Madrid, 2017), and Los olvidados de los
olvidados. Siglo y medio de anarquismo en España (Los Libros de la Catarata, Madrid, 2018).

Another summer on the government of the New Republic concluded by and we were faced with intense repression with an aspect of being the re
evacuation squatting. In more recent the current discharging the Occupation q Filolaou 99 Pangrati, below the flat a lambda or y in

creating a situation of permanent misery always with "ft" police violence . He next occupations, places diffusion of anarchist -

The response of the comrades all over Greece was immediate: Marches - briefings - rallies and microphones showed that solidarity is our
great weapon against the state and bosses.

The Mr. atalipseis and the self-managed housing structures is and will be workshops struggle and resistance against the regime of
suffocation trying to impose on us. Meeting points of the resistance where solidarity, equality, diversity and disobedience acquire flesh
and blood . Liberalized centers of ideas and practices that propose a different way of life, the creation of a society from below that
conflicts with the holistic plans of capital.

The government and the media b aftizoun occupations " outbreaks of lawlessness." Because the law for them is business profits, wage slavery,

forget that what bothers them and makes them attack angrily is the content that is contained within them.

The squatters are the houses. Homes as they envision and fight for a world of solidarity and self-organization. The needs that gave birth to
them continue to exist as long as there is a state and capitalism. The redevelopment of public space will always be on the agenda of those
who fight. We will continue to fight for a breath of freedom against the suffocating encirclement of property with militant and multifaceted
struggles we will clash with the existing to give birth to something new.
