WILL INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY COME TO THE RESCUE ?

I hate to say it, but I do believe that this injustice that our US judicial system has been inflicting on the tens of thousands of our Middle Class and Working Poor Amercans (who are the least educated US prison inmates) with prolonged incarceration, is a very realistic human rights violation if not a crime against humanity issue.

This Saturday, there will be an international action day for the, by now numerous, eco-activists who are currently imprisoned in the US.

The repression against people carrying out direct actions in the United States continues to rise. The most recent conviction in a series of sentences is that of Eric McDavid, who was sentenced to more than 19 years in prison (http://supporteric.org). He has actually never carried out any actions, but was allegedly part of a group that (according to a police informant) was planning them. He was sentenced on grounds of a witness statement of this police informant, who had not only infiltrated but actually steered the group, and received at least 75.000 USD for her "work". Eric is 19 years old. Because he refused to "confess" or cooperate in the investigation, he received this incredibly high sentence.

Friends, Comrades, Artists, Writers, anyone with a Camera,

The fight against the NAFTA Superhighway in Southern Indiana is in full swing! On May 19th, the first tree sit went up in the branches. Over two weeks later, it's still there and growing! This marks the beginning of this Summer's direct action campaign against I-69... but only the very beginning. There's more to come, and we need to find ways to document and publicize everything that is and will be happening.

We’re writing you this letter as one anarchist collective to another, in the spirit of open, honest and constructive communication.

Having read the statements “On avance. On avance. On recule pas!” and “Warning (to John Zerzan)” on your website, as well as the call for a demo in front of the Montreal Anarchist Bookfair (“On n'arrête pas le progrès!”) there are several points we would like to express.

The sheer lack of representation in our government, Local, State, and Federal, has many up in arms as to what can be done. Here are just a few suggestions!

OPEN DOOR BOOKS, a Montreal-based organization has been sending books to prisons across the US and Canada for over fifteen years. WE WILL BE TABLING AT THE 9TH ANNUAL MONTREAL ANARCHIST BOOKFAIR AND ARE REQUESTING THAT YOU BRING YOUR DONATIONS TO THE BOOKFAIR

Shared by US Labor Against War

The first message is a May Day greeting from a broad cross-section of union leaders from many different unions and labor federations in Iraq as an expression of their appreciation for the solidarity demonstrated by organized labor, working people and all peace-loving people of the world in support of their efforts to end the foreign occupation of Iraq and the sectarian violence that occupation has spawned.

The second is a statement of solidarity from the General Union of Port Workers in Iraq to the members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) in support of the decision by ILWU members to shut down all the ports on the West Coast as a demonstration of their opposition to the war and occupation of Iraq.
