ACP Florida @ACP_FL

In the FL Chapter of the ACP, we take our second amendment rights and responsibilities seriously. We don't meet up at the range to socialize and casually throw lead down range; we build our dry-fire skills at home and come together to run drills that give us objective metrics of improvement (or stagnation) over time. As communists, we take our responsibility to protect ourselves and our communities seriously, and we act accordingly. The Future Belongs to the Working Class. Are you prepared to meet it?

ACP Pennsylvania conducted a Combat Lifesaver crash course and a firearms training session in Hazleton, PA. The American Communist Party is developing the skills, discipline, and preparedness necessary to respond to any situation.

ACP Oklahoma spent the day building a chicken coop for a local family, helping expand their food security and self-sufficiency. Strong communities are built through practical action; one project, one family, and one neighbor at a time

ACP California is out at RFK Community School to clear sidewalks of trash every month. In our most recent cleanup, we focused our efforts at the front area of RFK Inspiration Park. The city continues to neglect the park, leaving trash to accumulate in the fenced-off areas while safety is left unprioritized. Worse still, city officials have no plan to open the park soon, depriving residents of one of the few green spaces in Koreatown. If you are tired of seeing trashed sidewalks and want to take action, ACP is ready to receive your help. ACP California invites YOU to our next cleanup on June 27, from 10AM to noon. Sign up with the QR code at the end of the video.

Recently, ACP Ohio has been honing its firearm skills with consistent practice at the range.

Over the last few months, ACP MN has been working to build a rural library to preserve and celebrate the literary and theoretical contributions within the Marxist lexicon. As summer comes to an end, we plan for a full completion of our project. Build your skills and build the Party. ACP.US/JOIN

130 years ago today, on June 19, 1896, silver miners in Leadville, Colorado went on what would become one of the bloodiest strikes in American history. Mine owners had already stockpiled weapons inside their mines and signed a secret agreement never to recognize the Western Federation of Miners under any circumstances in anticipation of the strike. What followed was described by Eugene Debs as “war, and both sides so regarded it and made preparations accordingly.” The WFM dispatched armed guards to every road leading to Lake County to prevent strikebreakers from coming in. After mine owners reopened the Coronado mine with armed strikebreakers, the miners counterattacked with rifles, dynamite, and a cannon firing shrapnel. The governor sent in the state militia. Five miners were killed. Violent reprisals by strikebreakers and police against union leaders and rank-and-file alike followed, and nine months later the strike was defeated. Every institution workers could appeal to, including the AFL which the WFM belonged to, was aligned against them. The defeat prompted a profound shift within the WFM toward a revolutionary socialism, leading to their departure from the AFL and laying the groundwork for the IWW. WFM president Edward Boyce’s response in the wake of the defeat was emblematic: “I deem it important to direct your attention to Article II—‘the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.’ This you should comply with immediately. Every union should have a rifle club. I strongly advise you to provide every member with the latest improved rifle… so that in two years we can hear the inspiring music of the martial tread of 25,000 armed men in the ranks of labor.” —Edward Boyce, WFM Presidential Address (1897)

Israel fears nothing more than Communism. So why aren't you a Communist?

Kevin O'Leary is working with the Utah Government to build a massive data center in the rural county of Box Elder, despite residents' concerns about the environmental consequences and the economic costs for taxpayers. ACP Utah Chapter supports our fellow Utahns in opposing the construction of the Stratos Data Center and calls for an end to mass surveillance and the profiting off our data.

Tired of endless protesting with orgs that don't do meaningful work? Join us in building a new party that serves working class communities the government neglects.

The USS Liberty was an intelligence vessel deployed near Egypt in international waters. At 5:15 am on June 8, 1967, during the Six-Day War, Israeli reconnaissance aircraft began circling the USS Liberty, with crew members waving to their supposed allies. It was a clear day, and a large US flag was on display, visible for miles. At about 2:00 pm, Israeli jets began attacking, while jamming international distress frequencies, violating international law. The jets fired rockets and gunfire, then dropped napalm, setting the front half ablaze. After about 20 minutes, Israeli Navy motorboats fired five torpedoes, creating a 39x24 foot hole, nearly sinking the USS Liberty, while also firing at lifeboats preventing survivors from escaping. Theories on motive range from an attempt to prevent US intelligence gathering, to a failed false flag operation to draw the US into the conflict. Under fire, a crew member rigged up communications, notifying the US fleet. Israel stopped attacking and Israeli diplomats told US officials that they had made a “terrible mistake.” President Johnson received funding from American Zionists and recovered Russian weapons from Israel to help in the Vietnam War. He ignored sworn testimony and settled with Israel, choosing to pay widows $25k and $10k per child over five. The next year, US support for Israel quadrupled. Communications from Hebrew show an intentional attack: 1:53 pm Pilot: Is it an American? Second Pilot: How do you mean an American? Control Tower: What do you say? Control Tower: No comment. 2:03 pm Pilot: Does he screw her or not? Control Tower: He goes down on her with low napalm. ... Control Tower: We don't need more aircraft for the attack. Enough. Pilots & Control Tower: Let's leave something for the Navy to do. 2:11 pm Pilot: Pay attention. This ship's marking is Charlie, Tango, Romeo 5. Control Tower: Leave her. Leave her. Leave her. 2:12 pm Pilot: What state does the ship belong to? Control Tower: American. 2:35 pm Pilot: The torpedo is taking care of the ship now. Control Tower: Did she fire anti aircraft guns? Pilot: I don't know. She did not have this ammunition. They are pumping her with torpedoes now.

On May 9, ACP Executive Board members visited multiple chapters across the country to celebrate Victory Day alongside members of the Russian-American community, honoring the immense sacrifices made in the defeat of fascism and strengthening bonds of international friendship and solidarity.

🌳 VIRGINIA WILL BE CLEAN! Comrades of ACP VA came together in Norfolk and Richmond to clean and maintain the public spaces of our great state. These areas are too often neglected by state and local governments that instead waste resources on “public/private partnership” scams.

Last weekend, ACP Minnesota drove up to the Minnesota-Wisconsin border to continue our work building a rural library for the locals in Amery. We gained more hands on skills training and are dedicated to completing this project soon to have lasting infrastructure for the community. Join ACP Minnesota to help us complete this project and learn some new skills!

Los Angeles is so large and geographically diverse that food deserts often exist in the region, sometimes mere miles away from a food oasis. But if an abundance of nutritious food exists only miles away from almost any given area in LA, why do 25% of households face food insecurity and poor nutrition? The lack of access to affordable, nutritious food is a symptom of vast economic disparities and lack of adequate economic planning in Los Angeles county. That’s why the ACP is working inside these communities to promote food sovereignty, giving working people the power to fill the gaps where the government has failed.

Iran has the right to defend itself.

Under Communism, the Zionists would be jailed.
