The new issue of "Turning the Tide: Journal of Anti-Racist Action, Research & Education," Volume 26 Number 1, January-March 2013 will be out tomorrow, and a mailing party to get 1500+ copies out to prison subscribers is scheduled for Thursday, December 27 and Friday, Dec. 29, from noon-6:00 PM (or until completion) at the Peace Center, 8124 West Third St. near Crescent Heights. People are invited to participate in getting copies into the mail to prisoners around CA and the US, or to pick up copies to distribute locally.
The issue features a major piece on the Inter-Communal Solidarity Committee by Shango Abiola of the Oakland chapter of the Black Riders Liberation Party (new generation Black Panthers), as well as coverage of three of the ICSC programs, Hood Health, Break the Lock prisoner solidarity, and the George Jackson Freedom school, as well as other news regarding the BRLP resistance to police harassment and repression. News from the Anti-Racist Action network includes a report on the duping of "Golden Dawn," a Greek neo-fascist group trying to build a base in the U.S., and plans for a mobilization to Las Vegas for the upcoming trial of several nazi boneheads for the ambush murder of two members of ARA over a decade ago. Mumia Abi-Jamal contributed a call for support of "Turning the Tide," and the issue also has information on the new film about Mumia, "Long Distance Revolutionary," opening February 1 in NY and shortly thereafter in L.A. A special report looks at the growth of neo-nazi nationalism in contemporary Poland. Comedian John Vargas contributes a rant about "Ironic Racism," and Jan Tucker compares the media frenzy over the mass murder in Sandy Hook, CT with the blind eye turned towards the day-to-day violence, mayhem, poverty and oppression in the CT state capital, Hartford. There's also information about the upcoming 25th anniversary party and fundraiser for Turning the Tide on February 9, PART's Perspective on contradictions among the people, and more, including an appeal for Elder Freeman, one of the early members of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense in Los Angeles, who is now battling cancer.
