People's City Council - Los Angeles
@PplsCityCouncil
abolitionist, anti-capitalist & anti-imperialist collective amplifying the voice of the ppl - direct action, political education + community building
During protests and actions, the pigs will typically form up in skirmish lines (red/green below) to block intersections, protect key areas, and kettle protestors. Behind them, two squads form a column (blue/yellow) with the arrest team up front – this will become the “arrow.”
ICE is wrecking our communities, kidnapping our friends and family, and devastating the lives of working class Angelenos. Our political class hasn't done enough to respond to the needs of tenants, immigrants, and workers. L.A. needs an eviction moratorium - NOW!
The movement must send a clear message to the state: They will not split us by targeting and isolating our bravest. When the enemy strikes our militants, it makes the entire movement more militant. REPRESSION BREEDS RESISTANCE!
Nithya Raman is LA’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Shout out comrade Grenade

Refuse Fascism LA aka RevCom have been platforming Juan Jose Gutierrez over the last month. Gutierrez was Kevin de Leon’s number 1 supporter after the infamous racist audio leak and led all lives matter chants in support of KDL in 2023.
Who is “Juan Jose Gutierrez?” 👀 He’s the mentor of Kevin de Leon, & also the guy who started the All Lives Matter chant in city council chambers last month. Gutierrez used to be the Executive Director of One Stop Immigration where Kevin de Leon spent years as an organizer… 🧵
feds have been literally hunting Black anarchists who've dedicated their lives to the struggle for Palestine but u still have dumb motherfuckers here posting abt how anarchism is nothing but white ppl who've been "silent" these 2 yrs. convienent cognitive dissonance. get fucked.
"Our greatest strength is each other—that we are not just coworkers maintaining appearances for the duration of a shift. We are comrades. And with that comes a promise to love, defend, & fight for one another. Because you are my comrades, I hold this promise towards all of you."
Bond set at 300k, plus house arrest — but Palestinian liberation activist Jakhi McCray will not be remanded despite a violent manhunt against him. Here’s his statement he issued earlier today: “Repression is the state trying to call our bluff.”
A letter from Jakhi McCray to the Movement prior to voluntarily turning in to the feds ❤️
Even a million Al-Aqsa Floods would not be sufficient punishment for the criminal zionist-amerikan regime
DA Nathan Hochman has been protecting pigs since he took office. Matthew Ensley was initially charged with two felonies related to his DUI and will now plead out to misdemeanor and keep his job with the LAPD. "Let's end impaired driving for good" except for his beloved pigs
Any update on LAPD Matthew Ensley? I heard they may be working out a deal to have him plead out to misdemeanor so he can stay a cop. After putting two people in the hospital while driving (and crashing) shitfaced it would be outrageous.
Remember the sweet boy with a big smile. The Sameer Project team in the South got him and his family a tent and mattresses thanks to your generous support. Donate here: chuffed.org/project/113222… Khan Younis is now no longer accessible to the Sameer Project team due to the…
Silence or Death. The Israeli army is once again threatening journalists for exposing the truth from Gaza. After I reported live on civilians collapsing from hunger, I was directly targeted with public incitement by the army’s spokesperson. This is an attempt to silence us—and…
For the first time since the launch of the Sameer Project, we haven’t been able to distribute food for 3 days in a row. We are feeling rage, rage and more rage … Our teams are currently in the markets trying to find anything for the sick kids in Refaat Alareer camp and f or the…
Benito Flores ¡PRESENTE!
The death of Benito Flores is social murder. Benito was an extraordinary thinker with an incisive analysis of state violence and who fearlessly asserted his rights in the face of such violence. Rest in power dearest Benito. May we all continue the housing justice you taught us.
We have three urgent requests today: 1. Donate to a trusted org or individual fundraiser. Don't keep scrolling. We know that the many requests can get overwhelming - like your contribution won't make a dent. But we have strength in numbers. Here is one: chuffed.org/project/113222…
Benito shared this message with us yesterday after I washed the dishes and cleaned up his kitchen a bit. Doing these tasks while organizing is so normal for me, especially with farmworkers. It is part of the work. It’s not just speeches and photo ops.
A 70-year-old man who seized a vacant state-owned home in Los Angeles more than five years ago has built an elaborate tree house in the backyard to protest his eviction. He and supporters warded off sheriff's deputies Tuesday. latimes.com/homeless-housi…
RIP BENITO “With deep love, respect, and admiration, we mourn the heartbreaking loss of our beloved Reclaimer, Benito Flores… We hold the Housing Authority of the City of LA (HACLA), Caltrans, & LASD responsible for Benito's unnecessary and preventable death.”
WHY am I just now learning about this legend?!! The state of California owns a house. They left it empty. Benito Flores, a 70- year old man w/ diabetes, on SSI and nowhere else to go, moved in. They’re trying to evict him. He’s not backing down—he built a treehouse.
