Αν όχι εμείς, ποιοι;

Universal Unitarian community minister Jason Lydon began his prison justice work as a teenager. At age 20, he served a six-month sentence at a county jail in Georgia and a federal prison in Massachusetts. During the time he was locked up, firsthand experiences with harassment and violence radicalized his attention to the violence of the prison industrial complex, especially as it pertains to LGBT and other marginalized people.

Between 2004-2005, Jason founded Black and Pink, a Boston-based organization that describes itself as “an open family of LGBTQ prisoners and ‘free world’ allies who support each other” in their work toward the abolition of the prison industrial complex. Black and Pink’s ongoing projects include a pen-pal project for LGBT prisoners, publishing and distributing a monthly newsletter of stories, poetry, and art by current and former incarcerated LGBT people, and direct advocacy and support for a few select individuals experiencing harassment, sexual violence, lack of access to healthcare, and other forms of mistreatment. Now serving as Director and Lead Organizer at Black and Pink, Jason spoke with The Media about his prison abolition work and the visibility that’s come with Black and Pink’s recent nomination to be the Grand Marshal at Boston Pride 2013. Voting is open until May 15.

των μαθητών και των γονέων
Ονειρευόμαστε μια απεργία που, όταν πάνε οι μπάτσοι να επιδώσουν τα φύλλα επιστράτευσης στους απεργούς καθηγητές, θα βρεθούν μπροστά σε απεργιακές επιτροπές στις οποίες θα συμμετέχουν και μαθητές. Μπορείτε; Μπορούν; Μπορούμε; Αν όχι, ας συνεχιστούν μέσα από τις οθόνες οι φιλολογικές τηλε-συζητήσεις και οι σικέ εικονομαχίες από πολιτικάντηδες, συνδικαλισταράδες, κομματάρχες, κλαίουσες μανάδες και κάθε άσχετο. Αν ναι, υπάρχει χρόνος για αυτοοργάνωση και αντεπίθεση.

Report del 07.05.13
Cresce la pressione degli sgomberi nell'area C e nei confini del 1948 nel Negev. Aumentano le azioni terroristiche dei coloni, spalleggiati dalle forze di stato israeliane. Ma cresce e si intensifica anche la lotta popolare mentre la destra lancia appelli sempre più forti per una più dura repressione. Non tutti coloro impegnati nelle lotte popolari di base sono contenti delle lotte unitarie con gli israeliani, preferendo fare a meno della relativa protezione che noi garantiamo rispetto ad una maggiore repressione, e rinunciando anche al nostro contributo verso l'opinione pubblica mondiale.
