In the fight for our liberation, we must always choose our own heroes. Accepting that we can’t change what happened to Jordan is hard, but it helps to know that we have the power to shape how his story is told.
It is our privilege and responsibility to share both how much Jordan’s life meant to his family and friends and what his death now means for our community.
Jordan’s death was, and will always be, a call to action.
It’s up to the vanguard to end Black genocide.
We choose vanguardism because the conditions under which we’ve organized for the past 6 years demand that a group of committed Black revolutionaries create a political climate in which poor & wc Black people can fight for their own liberation.

400+1 is engaged in a protracted struggle for Orisha Land, an autonomous home for Black folx to be free from state sanctioned violence. This thread is meant to provide further context & communicate next steps following the state’s dismantling of Jordan’s Place. #martialtheblock
400+1 is martialing the block for Jordan Walton because:
✊🏿 We believe in establishing a government that employs trained and compassionate professionals to determine what risk individuals experiencing mental health crises pose to themselves and others. #maritaltheblock

RE: #JusticeforJordan / Jordan Walton
Jordan Walton was murdered by APD on February 10th. Before Jordan’s murder, his family contacted law enforcement and the mental health crisis hotline to make them aware that Jordan was experiencing a bipolar episode, that he was schizophrenic & that they were concerned for him.

400+1 has distributed over 300 meals, redistributed reparations to 115 families, and housed 14 people. We directed traffic where lights failed to function and delivered water where The City had none to offer.
Each time we showed up, each time we offered support, we communicated to those receiving the help that this was not charity. That, in fact, this was an opportunity for them to recognize the failure of both capitalism and the state and to reject them.
