Communique on the recent attack on AirBnb – Portland, OR

On the eve of May Day, we acted in solidarity with those struggling to survive against the genocidal state of Israel, and with the student occupations who seek to end this genocide from within the belly of the beast.

A small unorganized group of your neighbors targeted and redecorated a number of AirBnb's in the most gentrified neighborhood in Portland. AirBnb profits from the violent displacement of our neighbors in Portland, while simultaneously profiting off the bloody expansion of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. Our struggles are connected, our enemies are the same, we are not alone, and we can strike anywhere.

After redecorating these parasitic eyesores known to some as "get-aways," we littered the streets with leaflets that read:

AIRBNB IS A BAD NEIGHBOR
COMPLICIT IN GENOCIDE: 200 rentals in the occupied West Bank
COMPLICIT IN GENTRIFICATION: 5000 rentals in Portland
NO BUSINESS AS USUAL DURING GENOCIDE
HAPPY MAY DAY

There are countless targets when everything around you is the machinery of genocide. You could flail your arms wildly and hit those complicit. You don't need to look far, you can see it in your own neighborhood, and you can fight back too.
