The IWW’s Incarcerated Worker Organizing Committee (IWOC) and Ex Prisoners Organizing (ExPO) have joined up to shut down MSDF. This facility is a building within a building, where captives have no access to fresh air or sunlight. They are triple bunked in lockdown cells for over 20 hours a day. There is no outdoor rec. The facility was built and is run using funds that should be used for diversionary programs to keep people out of jail, instead it’s being used to keep them on supervision under arbitrary and vindictive probation and parole officers.

We are organizing this protest in solidarity with the National Religious Campaign Against Torture call for actions on the 23rd of every month (to bring attention to 23 hour a day lockdowns). http://www.nrcat.org/about-us/take-action-current-legislation/563-together-to-end-solitary

The Civic Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH), founded by Lenca indigenous leader Berta Cáceres, who was assassinated March 2016, released a recent statement expressing their solidarity with Venezuelan women this week.The Women’s Coordinating Committee of COPINH condemned the opposition violence against Venezuelans and the opposition’s insistent invitation for US interference, recalling the effects of the US backed coup d’état in 2009 in their country.

We at WI Bail Out the People Movement (WI BOPM),  https://wibailoutpeople.org/, and at many other progressive and revolutionary organizations around the world, were saddened to learn that Zach Gevelinger (Sylvester Fox) died suddenly May 5, 2017. We at WI BOPM give a red people’s salute to one of the most righteous communists to ever come forth from the area now known as Wisconsin. We thank Comrade Zach an organizer for WI BOPM and a member of Workers World Party,  http://www.workers.org/, for his immense, numerous and fabulous contributions to the masses internationally. As we do Comrade James Connolly, we will carry Zach’s Fenian spirit to bring a better world, a socialist world with many rainbows, into birth.

Tiocfaidch ar la!

FLIER: WWP Joe Randi Illinois Wisconsin Tour May 2017 FLIER

420 N Main Street, Rockford, IL, 1-3 P.M.

Join us at a public forum to discuss the origins and significance of the bloody wars raging in Syria and Yemen. Speakers will include Joe Mshahwar, a young Syrian activist with the Michigan Emergency Committee Against War & Injustice, and Randi Nord, a journalist who covers the Middle East for Geopolitics Alert.

Our panel will dig behind the headlines to address why the U.S. government is spending billions of our tax dollars to seek the violent overthrow of Syria’s democratically elected president, Bashar al-Assad, and the defeat of Yemen’s Popular Resistance Coalition. What was the real reason for Trump’s cruise missile attack on Syria’s Shayrat airbase? Why is the U.S. supporting Syrian offshoots of the very terrorist groups that Trump claims to oppose? Why is the U.S. arming Saudi Arabia with planes and bombs used to massacre tens of thousands in Yemen, one of the world’s poorest countries?

Our speakers will answer these questions as they expose the role of the western oil companies, big banks, and arms makers in promoting the continued bloodshed in Syria and Yemen. We also will discuss how we in the Midwest can build a movement to demand money for human needs, not for racism & war.
