This is an outrageous frame-up. For the last six months, Barry Weisleder had to appear in court every 4-6 weeks: "The process is the punishment," and he was stalked by his Zionist provocateur to make it appear that he was violating bail conditions. Drop the charges!
In April Barry Weisleder was charged with assault with a weapon, a bogus charge and a frameup from the start. Barry has just informed his supporters that the onerous release conditions have been eased thanks to his lawyer’s efforts to. Small victories count - especially now! Toronto cops (with Chow's active support) are specifically targeting opponents of the Gaza genocide and the US/zionist assault on Iran with 'hate crimes' and 'terrorism' frame ups! Drop the charges! Defend Barry Weislder and all opponents of Zionist genocide! Expose Chow's cops and "Project Resolute"! @Workers_Circle @BolshevikTend @IBT1917 @NDP @avilewis

Today's Brooklyn united front rally against government repression was a big success. It drew around 120 to hear from 4 imprisoned Prairieland Defendants (2 live by phone), a Minnesota 15 defendant, 2 LA anti-ICE protesters who beat federal charges, and a number of endorsers. Very leftwing, positive, and left everyone motivated to renew and broaden the fight against government repression of the left. An injury to one is an injury to all! Thanks to everyone who made it happen! More to come...
Free the Prairieland Defendants! Defend Anti-ICE Protesters! Fight Government Repression of the Left! United Front Rally - New York City, Saturday, October 24 Endorsers as of Oct. 17

Day 3 of 45 FBI director J. Edgar Hoover: “The Black Panther Party, without question, represents the greatest threat to internal security of the country.” Mumia (from Rolling Stone interview): “When I hear about due process, my mind automatically goes not to me and my case but to Fred Hampton, the former chairman of the Chicago chapter of the Black Panther Party, who was killed in his bed by the government for being a Black Panther.… I was one of four Panthers from Philadelphia who traveled to Chicago immediately after hearing of his assassination and we stood in that house within hours of the state’s execution of Fred Hampton.”

Here's a powerful Irish song by the Wolfe Tones against repression. "And you dared to call me a terrorist while you looked down your gun I think of all the deeds that you had done You had plundered many nations, divided many lands You had terrorized their peoples, you ruled with an iron hand And you brought this reign of terror to my land " So true, relates in its way to wave of repression here by US Empire in the name that leftists are "terrorists." We invite our comrades, friends and fighters around the globe to arm us with the songs against imperialism, capitalism, and oppression where you are that inspire your fight. youtube.com/watch?v=TPgqvfgh…

Mumia came of age politically in the 1960s amid the racist backlash against the Civil Rights movement and a black nationalist rejection of MLK’s pacifist liberalism which left the conditions of urban black lives unchanged.

We urge all leftists to follow the Partisan Defense Committee and get involved in the struggle to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal, voice of the voiceless and victim of racist police frame-up.
Former Black Panther and MOVE supporter Mumia Abu-Jamal was framed up for the killing of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner on December 9, 1981. Mumia spent 30 years on death row and is now 45 days shy of 45 years behind bars, despite massive evidence of his innocence. To mark this infamous anniversary, starting today, the PDC will be posting facts about Mumia’s frame-up for 45 consecutive days, to help revive the movement for his freedom. We must bring the fight to free Mumia and the lessons of this struggle to this generation of youth who face increased state repression. The fight for Mumia’s freedom is not only urgently necessary to get this militant fighter for black liberation out of the dungeons he has languished in for most of his life, but it would also light some fire under the fights against racist cop terror, black oppression and the silencing of political dissent.

From Prairieland defendant Maricela Rueda greetings yesterday's Brooklyn united front rally to Free the Prairieland defendants, Defend anti-ICE protesters, Fight government repression of the left: "Do you hear us? Are you with us? Let me tell you my story as it was intended, that ends with the words that echo in my mind as I sit isolated in a single cell, but as long as you struggle with us we cannot be forgotten, they cannot succeed , from the belly of this beast we speak. The precedent set federally must be fought and to avoid the example Texas seeks to set for other states we need your eyes, ears and support to counter this campaign of terror meant to attack all of our communities."
