Today we remember the lives lost on May 13, 1985, when Philadelphia police dropped two bombs on the homes of the MOVE community organization.

They stood for Black power, animal and earth liberation, and in return were targeted. The police bombing and fire killed six MOVE members and five of their children, destroying over 65 houses on Osage Avenue. 9 members - Chuck, Delbert, Eddie, Janet, Janine, Merle, Michael, Phil, and Debbie Africa - were already in prison as political prisoners as the city burned their home. “We demonstrated against puppy mills, zoos, circuses, any form of enslavement of animals. We demonstrated against Three Mile Island and industrial pollution. We demonstrated against police brutality. And we did so uncompromisingly. Slavery never ended, it was just disguised.” - Janine Africa, a former political prisoner of the MOVE 9. To learn more and stay engaged with MOVE’s fight visit @mikeafricajr and @bringmumiahome
