BAP: Boycott World Cup, Close Delaney Hall, Rally Delaney Hall, Friday, June 12, 8pm

Preparations for the start of the World Cup on June 13th have begun but while the ruling class prepares their party the people will be on the streets. The day before the games, on June 12th, we gather at Delaney Hall to honor 50 people who tore down walls and fought for freedom. The Imperialists celebrate their war on Peoples- Centered Human rights just a few miles away from those they crush.

Delaney Hall is run by GEO Group, a private prison giant that profits from detaining the very people the World Cup claims to honor. Many inside came from the same countries sending their teams to play. ICE agents will be at the stadium entrances, drones in the sky while the carceral state uses the tournament to whitewash its violence as they brutalize those who seek liberation.

BAP and the AFFC calls for a boycott of the World Cup, the U.S. has disqualified itself from the community of civilized nations. You cannot cage people from across the globe and then throw a party on the same ground. You cannot replace a hunger strike with a soccer match.

Join us on June 12th at 8pm at Delaney Hall (451 Doremus Ave, Newark). Stand with the uprising and the hunger strike still happening inside. Then on June 13th, boycott the spectacle.
