Some comrades of mine put together this piece on the Georgia Prisoner's strike which has lasted for the past week and may have just come to a (temporary) end. http://advancethestruggle.wordpress.com/2010/12/16/well-ride-until-the-wheels-fall-off-prisoners-as-proletarian-actors/ This piece reports on the facts of the prisoner's strike, and also contextualizes it within the context of prisons & capitalism, their origins in racial slavery, and connections with the anti-police brutality and budget cut movements which have hit the bay recently. The media has blacked out this story, so please give it a read (along with the other coverage it has gotten on select places like Democracy Now that is included in the link). Let me know what you think. peace, Alex [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
