THIS IS A TRIBUTE SHOW TO THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BLACK PANTHER PARTY.

Rest in Power: Shareef Abdullah, Elder Freeman (aka Ronald Freeman), Waye Pharr and Roland Freeman

The first Solidarity Festival was in the middle of the 90's. That's when anarcho punks and Riot Girrls worked together with Shareef Abdullah, who was in the original Black Panther Party and later on in The New Panther Vanguard Movement. Many groups worked together in solidarity to make this small fest happen. The fest showcased punk rockers, feminists, animal rights activists, anarchists, and Black Panther Party members. It was as if there was an intimate indoor political rally. The bands played, there were speakers, poetry reading, workshops, vegan food, and an array of organizations at tables. Most people would leave having armfuls of zines and leaflets.

Most fests were in the Orange County and Los Angeles area. For some of the fests we worked with Shareef Abdullah. Some of the events were Voices Against Oppression, All Power to the People at Koos Cafe, International Women's Day at Panther Headquarters, etc. These event ideas were inspired by the original Black Panther Party from the late 1960s, when they started the Rainbow Coalition and also the Women's Liberation Movement of the 1970s who worked with the sisters from the Panthers.

Besides working with Black Panther Party members at fests, a small number of punk rockers would attend weekly meetings at the International Panther Headquarters in South-Central L.A. In the 90's. Friendships were established and carpooling to street protests, attending weekly meetings together, and spending quality time with one another had started.

Later on these punk rockers did a collective news print zine with Panthers and Riot Grrrl which was issue #9 of Beyond the Wall of Injustice (5,000 prints and it was free). There were times when a couple of Panthers would come down to Orange County and they would be up early in the morning to distribute political fliers and radical newspapers at Fullerton College in the 90's. We did several political work projects together; which even included supporting political prisoners.

For nearly 20 years a handful of Anarcho Punks stayed in close ties with Black Panther Party members. There is a continued respect and admiration for comrades like Shareef Abdullah, Elder Freeman, Wayne Pharr and Roland Freeman. Many had been on the panels at the Southern California Anarchist Conference and at the 1st Los Angeles Anarchist Bookfair.

Unfortunately due to older age and cancer our most respected Panthers; Shareef, Elder Freeman, Wayne Pharr, and Roland Freeman have passed away. This upcoming event is to commemorate them, a way to thank them for their friendship and for inspiring future generations. This is a free event, join us in our solidarity. All Power to the People!
