Free All Political Prisoners!
by v/a
So if you missed Laura Whitehorn's amazing talk on February 25th down at Red Emma's, you should do yourself a favor and pick up the book she was presenting, her collection of the writings of Safiya Bukhari, The War Before, just released on Feminist Press. It's an amazing collection of writings, speeches, and other material collected from the life of a former Black Panther and political prisoner, and a tireless activist in the struggle for the freedom of political prisoners - for instance, Safiya was one of the founders of the Jericho Movement, one of the most important organizations to reopen the fight on behalf of all the victims of COINTELPRO starting in the 1990s. You can also check out the interview City Paper did with Laura Whitehorn this week.
And speaking of political prisoners, we're also very happy to announce that we've got copies of Marshall "Eddie" Conway 's brand new book on the legacy of COINTELPRO, The Greatest Threat, in stock at the store - we'd be even happier if Eddie wasn't still in prison, framed up and locked away by the state apparatus for the work he had been doing in Baltimore's black communities with the Black Panther Party. All proceeds from the sales of the book are going straight to Eddie's legal defense fund - we're selling it, but not taking any sort of profit off the sales.
