Nous relayons ici le communiqué de Jakhi McCray, un modèle de dignité et de courage face à la répression. Il y a quelques heures, ce camarade a été mis en accusation pour l'incendie criminel de plusieurs autopatrouilles du commissariat du 83e district du NYPD.
**
It has been one month since the NYPD & the U.S. government came after me, accusing me of setting fire to police vehicles belonging to the 83rd precinct in Brooklyn. According to them, $800,000 worth of damage was done & the charred remains of the vehicles represented a direct attack on the police.
Today, July 21st, I walked into the 83rd precinct & turned myself in. There's a real chance that I won't see the outside of a cell for years. but I make this choice clear of mind &, in a naive way, hopeful. It's a hope that comes from feeling loved & supported by my friends, my family, & my comrades that have rallied in support of me in wake of the accusations. It's a feeling that I cherish & will hold on to in the now uncertain timeline of my life. I'm 21 years old & I know it's normal to be unsure about life & the world, but I want to thank you-whether I know you or you're just meeting me for the first time now—for giving me some comfort in all this.
My charge comes with a minimum sentence of five years & a maximum of 20. The federal government has labeled me "armed & dangerous" & blasted a $30,000 bounty for my capture, which Zionist & white supremacist news outlets have happily supported in their racist doxxing & smear campaign against me. My home has been raided alongside two other addresses in New York City, & my little siblings had assault rifles brandished at them as they were harassed & forced outside.
I'm not, nor was I ever, scared. This scare tactic is nothing compared to other black people that are beaten &/or murdered, & their names being dragged through the mud as the media does damage control for the officers that did it. It's not new to Palestinians & Arabs that are being assassinated, deported, & harassed. I've met immigrants that live under daily paranoia. not knowing whether or not ICE goons will bust through their doors & kidnap their families.
I've been arrested 12 times before this, & doxxed & lied about by fascist press & police officers alike. I've seen friends & comrades lose relationships, homes, & jobs because of their refusal to be responsible for the genocide in Palestine & the kidnapping of migrants. The SCC61, the CUNY8, the Prarieland 11, the 2020 prisoners, Tarek Barzouk, Leqaa Kordia—all just a few current examples of the government's attempt to regain control. The use of COINTELPRO & its domestic warfare campaign that left hundreds of dead & imprisoned revolutionaries throughout the 20th century & now has caused a memory crater in our movement, where we don't know how to handle the brutality of State repression.
Repression is the State trying to call our bluff. It is intense because it shows itself when our potential to disrupt genocides & capital becomes too grand to ignore. Millions of people, whether they consider themselves revolutionaries or not, that participated in the encampments, the anti-ICE street rebellions, & the George Floyd Uprising have helped create a social crisis in the last five years that continues to bring in millions more & fuel the need for liberation.
The constant effort it takes the State to oppress us is not manageable. It is already breaking, with the funding & hiring disasters in federal agencies, the infighting between the Trump administration & his base, & the complete political catastrophe over Israel. The harshness of the State's eye on our movement is nothing more than a defensive reaction. a mask from their fear. This is as much of a make or break moment for them as it is for us. If we come out of this with our solidarity & our infrastructure intact, it is a monumental win for our communities & a devastation to our enemies.
Our greatest strength is each other-that we are not just coworkers maintaining appearances for the duration of a shift. We are comrades, & 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. I don't know what will happen now, but I do know that I will never stop fighting & I will do my best wherever I find myself to be.
With love & solidarity, Jakhi
