March in Stockton to Remember the Life of Friend and Freedom Fighter Alex Mahan

RIP Alex Mahan

On July 31st, our friend and comrade Alexander Mahan was taken from us in Stockton after he was shot to death in a drive-by shooting. From the Occupy Oakland site:

"Everyone remembers Alex as very kind, energetic, and totally committed to the struggle we have all been building together. He never missed an opportunity to fight for the world he believed in. We all remember him coming up with the Stockton crew, to join us in Oakland, often with his Anonymous Mask. He and his comrades planned on how to bring the struggle to Stockton, which they did! He was an unwavering comrade and friend and will be painfully missed. Alex’s murder was not just the result of a few bad people. It was the result of a society structured on violence, a society where brown and black young men are murdered every day with no notice from society at large. It was the result of a violent economic system which forces whole communities into deprivation, with no options but to fight each other, and a violent political system that leaves us in constant fear of incarceration or death at the hands of the police and the state. These structural forms of violence are the foundation of the violence we experience every day, the violence that took Alex from us."

From everyone at Modesto Anarcho, our hearts and thoughts go out to Alex's friends and family. We salute with great love his friends and comrades in Oakland and Stockton and were proud to share the streets with him during the days of action in both towns. We fought with you in the streets brother, and we will fight to keep your memory alive!

Rally at Alex’s house followed by a march and speak out in honor of his memory.

March through the neighborhood departing from Bianchi and Calandria at 2:00 in Stockton.

Come out and celebrate the life of our fallen friend.
