NYC: Report Back from Celebration of International Day of Solidarity with Eric King

In the spirit of honoring and celebrating our comrade and friend Eric King, a group of folks gathered together at a space in Queens, NY. We read Eric’s June 11th statement and heard from some local poets and writers who shared some of their work. A couple of folks led a group sing along to “Baby I’m an Anarchist” by Against Me, one of Eric’s favorite bands, and another friend played his favorite song while we sang along and thought of him. There was delicious vegan chocolate cake and we passed around a card to let him know we were thinking of him.

As Eric has written, “what is more powerful than knowing your voice will be heard, than knowing that out in the world people exist who love you and will refuse to let you get lost within these walls?”

In solidarity with Eric King!
