Make June Class-War Prisoners
Freedom Month
Markin comment (reposted from 2010)
In “surfing” the National Jericho
Movement website recently in order to find out more, if possible, about
class- war prisoner and 1960s radical, Marilyn Buck [now deceased], whom I had
read about in a The Rag Blog post I linked to the Jericho list of class
war prisoners. I found Marilyn Buck listed there but also others, some of whose
cases, like that of the “voice of the voiceless” Pennsylvania [former] death
row prisoner, Mumia Abu-Jamal, are well-known and others who seemingly have
languished in obscurity. All of the cases, at least from the information that I
could glean from the site, seemed compelling. And all seemed worthy of far more
publicity and of a more public fight for their freedom.
That last notion set me to the task
at hand. Readers of this space know that I am a long -time supporter of the
Partisan Defense Committee, a class struggle, non-sectarian legal and social
defense organization which supports class- war prisoners as part of the process
of advancing the international working class’ struggle for socialism. In that
spirit I am honoring the class war prisoners on the National Jericho Movement
list this June as the start of what I hope will be an on-going attempt by all
serious leftist militants to do their duty- fighting for freedom for these
brothers and sisters. We will fight out our political differences and
disagreements as a separate matter. What matters here and now is the old
Wobblie (IWW) slogan - An injury to one is an injury to all.
Note: This list, right now, is composed of class-war
prisoners held in American detention. If others are likewise incarcerated that
are not listed here feel free to leave information on their cases here.
Likewise any cases, internationally that may come to your attention. I am sure
there are many, many such cases out there. Make this June, and every June, a
Class-War Prisoners Freedom Month- Free All Class-War Prisoners Now!
