Mobilize the Working Class to Free Mumia!
Internationalist Group, 30-03-2008 - 18:51
On March 27, the U.S. appeals court in Philadelphia reaffirmed the frame-up conviction of Mumia Abu-Jamal, the former Black Panther Party spokesman and world-renowned radical journalist who has been locked up on Pennsylvania’s death row for more than a quarter century. After previously rejecting Mumia’s request to present evidence of his innocence, as well as a host of issues showing that he was railroaded by a racist court, the Court turned down Mumia’s request for a new trial. It upheld the 2001 ruling by a federal district judge that ordered a new hearing on the sentence, but limited the “choice” to the living hell of life imprisonment without parole ... or execution. Mumia is innocent. He was declared guilty and sentenced to die because of his revolutionary politics and because for years he had been a thorn in the side of the racist rulers of the misnamed “city of brotherly love.” Around the world, millions have come out in defense of Jamal. This latest ruling, like all those that preceded it, shows that the exploited and oppressed must have no faith in the racist injustice system. We call on the workers movement to mobilize its power to free Mumia now!

Being It Eco Village
Vegan1forPeace, 05-03-2008 - 17:42
I'm proposing a name for the proposed eco village up at the old quarry site, "Being It Eco Village" in honor of Bennett Tanner. I've also begun trying to picture what the village might look like, with a 24 foot dome as the community center, 10'x10' huts on 12'x12' spaces, and a garden which is drip irrigated by a pond on the site.

"Test An Optimist In All Kinds Of Weather"
Vegan1forPeace, 02-03-2008 - 14:16
The memorial circle in honor of Bennett Tanner became more of a banana shape precariously perched at the top of a hill, steep on one side, a cliff on the other. The banana kind of hung on a small cross with a star of David drawn onto it, surrounded by a casting of madrone berries to give the marker a glowing aura when viewed from below the hill.

Update by Peter Phillips and David Kubiak
Many economists now doubt that government measures can prevent a
major recession given the severe slump in the housing market, the
subprime mortgage crisis, growing unemployment, declining consumer
spending, and record high oil prices. Even harder times for working
people are undoubtedly at hand, yet mainstream corporate media
continues to lavish more attention on the Super Bowl and celebrity
misadventures than measures to protect Americans from grave personal
economic harm. We are spun, mislead, propagandized and amused to
death by our media conglomerates and as a result the US has become
the best entertained and least informed society in the world.
