=FUSION CENTERS 1AC 1.0=


 * ====This year's resolution provides the perfect opportunity to justify a political action centered on the discussion of RACE as surveillance mechanisms funded by the federal government and carried out by local law enforcement agents have disproportionately targeted public dissent of racialized injustice. We offer a TOPICAL discursive performance to speak out through the 1AC and start our protest with====**

OBSERVATION 1: RACISM ABOUNDS
====White supremacy is the UN-NAMED political system that guides the modern world. It is not seen as political yet serves as the background against which other systems we see as political are highlighted. What is needed is a GLOBAL THEORETICAL framework for situating discussion of race and white racism that CHALLENGE white political philosophy. We must recognize the POLITICAL SYSTEM of WHITE SUPREMACY.==== Mills, 97—Professor of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy at Northwestern University(Charles W., Racial Contract, p. 1)//AK White supremacy is the unnamed political system that has made the modern world what it AND talk is, after all, the political lingua franca of our times.

====THAT UN-NAMED SYSTEM OF WHITE SUPREMACY IS SERVED UP THROUGH OUR SYSTEM OF SURVEILLANCE. Criminal justice policies justify EXCESSIVE SURVEILLANCE in the name of crime control that really serves the ongoing exclusion of Blacks from civic life and the PERSISTENT CONDEMNATION of Blackness.==== The Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. the Board of Education of Topeka, AND and additionally likely to receive harsher sentences than their white counterparts. 52

Racism makes all forms of violence inevitable, it must be rejected in every instance.
The struggle against racism will be long, difficult, without intermission, without remission AND . True, it is a wager, but the stakes are irresistible.

====This means that within the political calculations of policy justifications our REVOLUTIONARY stance against racial injustice should prevail. WE EMBRACE THE CONCEPT OF "REVOLUTIONARY SUICIDE" TO REDEFINE THE IMPACT CALCULUS TO EVALUATE THE DEBATE. The role of the judge is a revolutionary in the constant struggle of liberation for oppressed groups and the role of the ballot is to embrace the possibility of death to achieve the best hope for radical social change within the defined community.==== Huey-PhD University of California, Santa Cruz; "Revolutionary Suicide"; Penguin Edition with Introduction written by Frederika Newton 2009; pp. 2-6 AND a feather; to die for the revolution is heavier than Mount Tai.

The FBI's surveillance structures are designed to cement structural racism, disproportionately targeting black people, and hiding black injustice with the media.

FEDERAL SURVEILLANCE AGAINST PROTEST GROUPS IS LARGELY STRUCTURED WITHIN FUSION CENTERS. The Federal Government is heavily invested into Fusion Centers, and provides funding.
One problem with fusion centers is that they exist in a no-man's land between the feder- al government AND not create a single [fusion center], but a network of [centers] all across the country."24

Without guidelines, and with rampant abuse occurring, the only remaining option is to defund Fusion Centers.
