A new generation of repression and resistance


In light of a recent post by former Black Panther Party co-founder Bobby Seale that suggests that the masses can get justice through the current system of injustice begs the question about if some of our elders have lost their revolutionary perspective. We also want to discuss civil rights veterans like John Lewis who now works for the state and find themselves on the other side of the current youth led movement against the police state and political repression. When Ferguson first kicked off, Lewis called for Martial Law. We will also update on upcoming political prisoner news and events.

"When they were locked up in SCI Dallas, PA, protested in a nonviolent way against Human Rights Abuses in 2010, by covering their windows. They stand accused of something they did not do, yet Human Rights of prisoners at SCI Dallas (and in other Solitary Confinement units in PA) are still being violated on a daily basis. We say: Drop the charges against the "Dallas 6"... Stop Human Rights Abuses, Stop Torture and Stop Racism!" - Support the Dallas 6

 Even though Pennsylvania lawmakers, police union thugs and their supporters, the Governor are trying to silence radio journalist and political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal through a constitution busting law, Mumia and Prison Radio come through with radio commentary titled "Ferguson's Fall Out".
