From: Michael Novick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The new issue of "Turning the Tide; Journal of Anti-Racist Activism, Research & Education" has just gone to press. Volume 11 #4 of TTT (Winter 1998-99) includes an anti-racist perspective on the impeachment and removal of Bill Clinton, a revised proposal for anti-colonial demonstrations of July 4, 2000 and a column by Mumia Abu-Jamal and information on the struggle to free that political prisoner from death row in Pennsylvania. The publication also includes a special 4-page insert on Anti-Racist Action (A.R.A.) with a list of chapters, a calendar of upcoming events, and other ARA news and resources. (The 4-page "Voice of ARA/Anti-Racist Action" will also be distributed separately.) Turning the Tide also includes information on the Jericho '99 Amnesty Campaign for Political Prisoners and POW's; a piece by Mike Ruppert of !Crack the CIA! Coalition about the up-coming Congressional hearings on the CIA's admissions of knowledge of drug-dealing by its 'clients' and operatives; an update on anti-abortion terror and ties between the Christian and racist Right; and reviews/critiques of the films "The Siege" and "American History X." Gregory Gumbs has two poems from the colonized Caribbean, and David Jacob contributes a short short story on the every-day nature of police abuse and racism. Chris Crass of Food Not Bombs writes about the intersections of anti-racism, feminism and environmentalism in "The Greening of Hate and the Demeaning of Women." That piece has a lot of must-read recommendations about understanding the role of women as leaders and organizers of social change. As in all previous issues, the current "Turning the Tide" is full of contact information on vital struggles of our time. In addition to the contact list of over 120 chapters of ARA in the U.S. and Canada, there is an article that surveys the current state of the prison struggle, providing contacts and resources for activists and families; the QFREJ Pledge from Queers for Racial and Economic Justice; and information on a number of political prisoners, including Ruchell Magee, sole survivor of the 1971 Marin County Courthouse modern-day Slave Rebellion. From the trenches, immigrant-rights activist Tom Louie reports on a struggle against INS brutality, and James Tracy of San Francisco's Eviction Defense Network analyzes the struggle over displacement and privatization in public housing. There is a response from an Earth First activist, Karen Coulter, to the exchange on the militia movement in the last issue of TTT, and information on the upcoming southern California regional Anti-Racist Action (Saturday January 16 at Koo's Cafe in Santa Ana).
