Fred Hampton was a brilliant organizer and uncompromising revolutionary whose clarity of purpose and deep connection to the people made him one of the most formidable threats to the structures of racial capitalism in the United States. As chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party, he helped build the Rainbow Coalition—uniting Black, Latino, and poor white communities in a shared struggle against exploitation, repression, and state violence. Hampton’s politics were rooted not in abstract theory, but in the lived needs of the working class: free breakfast programs, political education, and community defense. He understood that liberation required dismantling the entire system of imperialist domination, and that solidarity across oppressed peoples was the foundation of that struggle. At just 21, he was assassinated in a coordinated FBI-police raid—proof of how dangerous his vision was to those in power. Yet his words, discipline, and example remain etched into the fabric of revolutionary organizing everywhere: “You can kill a revolutionary, but you can’t kill the revolution.”

Supporting independent artists cultural workers under capitalism

Making independent art is not without its challenges. It is not cheap, easy, or quick, and it is often not valued in a material sense. However, artists still need to eat and pay rent.

Contemporary art, media and journalistic praxis, and cultural work more broadly are often exploited in building social movements, yet they are often unstable and precarious at best.

This project offers a free library of downloadable zines and other resources, and your support is appreciated! Right now, the project is not yet making enough money to cover the costs of making, printing, and shipping the materials but with your support we'll get there!
