“The NC ALKQN is a street organization dedicated to community & self-determination and defense, the continuation of liberation struggles in the US and in occupied Puerto Rico, black & brown unity and alliance with white anti-racist organizations, as well as relentlessly fighting to stop cops and prisons from destroying their families and communities…” From ALKQN Support
On December 6, 2011 a home commonly used by ALKQN members was attacked by over 30 law enforcement officers. This raid was part of a joint effort between the FBI, ATF, The U.S. Marshalls, the Greensboro Police Department, and other law enforcement agencies. Officers entered the home with assault rifles arresting ALKQN members and terrorizing their families. A fifteen year old girl was forced to the ground and detained, while another woman was forced outside from the shower wearing only a towel.
Officers entered the home with a warrant looking to seize shotguns, revolvers, pistols, an AK-47, and three machetes. They could not find any weapons or drugs, so they confiscated a large amount of personal belongings including clothing, photos, a computer, a wallet and anything in the ALKQN’s black and gold colors.
13 members total are being held with racketeering charges. The indictment against the ALKQN is reminiscent of similar attempts against the Black Panther Party and the Chican@ movement in which a vital community organization was declared criminal and attacked.
Several of the arrested individuals have been removed from the Nation. Others have not been reachable due to incarceration. The following members are supported by Denver ABC. Addresses are current as of December 4, 2012:
