Screening of MOVE Documentary with Ramona Africa

The MOVE organization welcomes the public to a screening of "MOVE: Cohort Media" with a Q&A featuring Ramona Africa. This documentary focuses on the Move Organization and the repression they suffered from the racist and brutal policies of the Philadelphia police department and the US justice system during the 70s & 80s. Ramona Africa is the sole adult survivor of the May 13, 1985 massacre of 11 members of the MOVE organization. The FBI and the City of Philadelphia dropped a C4 bomb on MOVE's 6221 Osage Avenue home in West Philadelphia. Carrying the young Birdie Africa (the only other survivor) with her, Ramona dodged gunfire and escaped from the fire with permanent scarring from the burns.

Ona MOVE for our Children!
Patrick Murphy, MOVE Supporter

The MOVE 9 has been incarcerated for 34 years. 34 years ago they were punished for a taking a stand against this system. They stood against brutality, rape, racism, drugs and they stood against the destruction and exploitation of family. They stood for ALL LIFE. The struggle of living truth against power continues.

MOVE has long fought to protect children from the money first/slave based/murderous values- attacks of this system. A system that regularly beat and murdered move children and unborn babies- a system that seeks to destroy/control all of our children every day.

The systems power over our children is stronger then ever. The beautiful and natural process of childbirth and motherhood is under attack- at best it is disregarded as an inconvenience- at worst mother and children’s lives are considered worthless by man’s laws n courts.

The truth is that their lives are valued in accordance with the slave-colonial based/ white male patriarchal supremacy we all live under.

The mentality of this system commands greed and selfish pride as its major flag bearers. These ideals, passed down from generation to generation, continue to destroy all life. This is why we consider ourselves to be a society making great progress yet all of life- the air, water, and soil we need to live, continue to be further damaged everyday. This system financially thrives upon the 2 million people in the US incarcerated and the deaths of over 100,000 people each day
from starvation and poverty.

In order to destroy and exploit life the mind is conditioned, by the system, to thrive off of a false wholeness- a fake feeling of rightness through constant monetary based instant gratification. Everyone is addicted to feel good bullshit. These fake oddities of human advancement- these technological “advances” are leaving us lifeless- keeping us blind and or emotionally unavailable to the fact that all of our privileges hinge on the death and exploitation of all life. Instead of life, everyone derives there worth from the phone in their pocket, the label on their clothes, the name on their car, etc…

This system is everywhere, in everything, in every one of us. It imposes upon every aspect of life. Life has never been and never will be its goal. Its goal as built and maintained is to have more “capital gains”- more privileges - at any cost.

We need to free the MOVE 9 because they were imprisoned for being true protectors of all life. We need the MOVE 9 and all those who support life over money to work together to defeat this system.

The truth is that we must stop depending on this system to raise our children and change our lives; it is only making things worse. A definition of insanity: repeating the same thing over and expecting a different result. I’d say that definition fits perfectly to us who think we can make it through the system. The system has and always will fail life. Wake up people, please, now, before it is too late and humans are responsible for destroying all life. This is 34 years too long. We need our brothers and sisters back. We need to grow as a people in revolution with life - sharing in the life first example MOVE has given us. Free the MOVE 9 Now! We need them more then ever!
