In beloved memory of Trayvon and in honor of all who love him

Fam,

Ten years ago, a Florida jury acquitted vigilante George Zimmerman for the murder of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. It was 2013, and the Dream Defenders, a Florida-based community group formed to vindicate Trayvon, occupied the Florida State Capitol for 30 nights and 31 days, demanding a repeal of Zimmerman’s winning defense, the controversial Stand Your Ground law.  A decade later, the community group is a powerful organization within the M4BL ecosystem, still organizing and combating fascist policies like the so-called “Stop W.O.K.E” bill introduced by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, which bans school curricula that explain the workings of race, class, gender, sexuality, and power in our society.

DeSantis’ motive is to defang the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL) and adjacent left movements whose organizing yielded material wins on racial justice and police reform in the 2010s. But today’s Black liberation organizations are not intimidated.

Since Trayvon’s death, millions of ordinary people have organized to vindicate him and others like him. 

Our movement has been building and harnessing political power at the ballot box and on the local, state, and federal levels, growing support for investing in what our communities need to thrive and divesting from the systems that are causing us harm.

Vigilante and police violence still persist, and until these systems are dismantled, our communities remain under threat. This year, police killed Anthony Lowe, a 36-year-old double amputee in a wheelchair. They also killed 26-year-old Manuel "Tortuguita" Esteban Paez Terán, a forest defender in the fight against Cop City.

In May, a vigilante choked 30-year-old street performer Jordan Neely to death on the New York City Subway.

Our movement's work is more important than ever. Today, Dream Defenders has expanded their organizing to Oklahoma, New York, Massachusetts, and Washington, D.C. Earlier this year in Florida, where the group started, activists occupied Ron DeSantis’ office to demand an end to the vicious attacks on queer and transgender communities. 

What most people get wrong about deeply rooted social movements is that even under the threat of ongoing attacks and erasure, they provide a meaningful and consistent entryway for disillusioned people who want to see justice and material change to plug into. People join us to be a part of something and work for real change in their lives and communities. They join us to feel like they can do something about it. This people-power keeps our movements constantly growing, relevant, and threatening to the status quo of power and privilege. We will keep on, and until our dreams are realized, until our children and all our people are safe from these harms, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

In beloved memory of Trayvon and in honor of all who love him,

Omnidirectional build Mk0

I got hold of a cheap little driver in London for £15. It's rated for 200W peak power, 40Hz-10kHz (so sadly not much high frequency once the lamellae are attached!) I removed the rubber sleever and the dust-cap

Next I used some grocery-store plastic sheeting (what they put up promotion signs/prices with) that can be moulded using hot water. I used a metal grille bent into a curve to make curves out of the plastic, then cut them into roughly the right shape. I made the paper shape guide by just rotation a ruler held at one end - this was totally eyeballed and could've been done much better, more precisely etc.

Then I attached some sticky-backed weather stripping to each of the lamellae (aka petals), and used double-sided tape to stick them onto the speaker cone. I used a log with a notch cut into it, attached through the speaker magnet's central hole with a long screw, to hold the tops of the lamellae.

Then with a bit of wiggling and more double-sidede tape I attached all the lamellae together at the top. I used some washing up gloves cut into strips as (very makeshift) gaskets to mostly seal the gaps between the lamellae. Again, I used double sided tape to do this. To be honest that was the most fiddly part. Washing up gloves cut with scissors are not an ideal Radialstrahler gasket material!

And there it is! It doesn't sound terrible on its own, but as the driver is only rated up to 10kHz (and who knows what impact the radialstrahler build has on the theoretical frequency response!) I had to wire it in to an old bookshelf speaker's tweeter to get a bit more high-end.

I'll make another post with a few more videos of it playing, along with some discussion of what I've learned so far to take forward to the next prototype!
