Rebel Diaz members attacked by police

Political hip hop artists/activists from group Rebel Diaz were brutalized by the NYPD for doing a copwatch by cell phone-videotaping a street vendor being harassed by the cops.

Davey D puts what happened to these brothers in the larger context of police brutality in working class communities of color. Check out the link to his article above, it's from the brothers at SleptOn.com

And, as if that wasn't enough...

It turns out the NYPD wasn't satisfied w/ beating on these brothers... They decided to show up at their home yesterday and raid their shit w/GUNS DRAWN & NO SEARCH WARRANT

What this is about

What's good!

I'm Son of Nun (S.O.N.), an activist and emcee. I've been building & spitting for a minute now and both my politics and my art have exposed me to people and places that have shaped my outlook. I want to spread that around a little you know.

So here's what you can expect...
- posts w/ pics from political events and shows (anyone can submit)
- links to articles on various political issues/movements/people
- info about music (old & new) and other art I'm feeling and/or creating
- life

I'm interested in learning more about what's happening locally and globally so definitely educate me on what's good.

I also want to know about different organizing strategies and tactics that have been successful for various struggles so they can be shared and repeated where appropriate.

Respek,
-S.O.N.
