Summer is here, and it is time to prepare for our 5th annual Attica Community Remembrance Day in Poughkeepsie, NY, on Saturday, September 14th! This year’s theme is The Global Plague of the Power of the Naked Fist!

This theme is carefully chosen to echo the enduring struggle against systemic oppression. As we assemble, we will pay homage to the indomitable spirit of the Attica uprising, a watershed moment in the fight for justice, while simultaneously confronting the enduring injustices that afflict communities worldwide. Our gathering is not merely an act of passive remembrance but a defiant stance against the relentless grip of oppressive forces that continue to asphyxiate the marginalized and disenfranchised. The Attica uprising serves as a poignant reminder of the power of collective resistance—a resolute rejection of dehumanization and state-sanctioned violence.

Join us in community as we celebrate and remember the prisoners of the Attica Uprising!

The event will consist of:

• Free Food (Vegan and Gluten-Free options are available and limited)

• Free Performances presented by Lady Mae Entertainment and Callie Mackenzie

• Ways to get involved with local organizations across the Hudson Valley

• Speeches from Movement leaders

• Free Healing Clinic

• Free educational resources inspired and created by currently incarcerated community members
