Borderlands Autonomist Collective
2007-09-09 4:26 AM This is an invitation to all people of goodwill, to all who are fighting
for dignity, freedom, human rights and autonomy. The regime of terror and
the homeland security apparatus will not collapse on its own – it must be
challenged. We call on you to join us in opposition to the border regime.
Between November 7th and 11th, 2007, thousands of people will gather at
the line between Calexico, California and Mexicali, Baja California.
Throughout this week of action we will engage in opposition to the
infrastructure of repression and that of neo-liberal globalization.
Together we will create an autonomous zone free of borders and the lies
they perpetuate.

Labeling Terrorists VS Self-Righteousness
Et tu Brute
2007-09-06 12:44 AM If right-wing straw-women like Condoleezza Rice so willingly label Iran’s Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization for the purpose of building a phony case for war against Iran, then it is high-time we Americans examine the little discussed question of just “who” is pulling America’s puppet strings—because such a war is not in our self-interest?

A Message from an Organizer to the Left and Progressive Forces inside the USA
Curtis Muhammad
2007-09-05 1:03 PM With this second anniversary of Katrina upon us, there are a few words I wish to speak. This letter is written to the progressive, left movement for justice in the USA. In the last two years, every left organization has been in New Orleans, but despite that there is still no sign of a mass movement. There is still no sign that most activists are willing to put their knowledge and resources at the service of the grass roots and take their leadership from the bottom. I have found myself wondering, have poor black people been so vilified and criminalized that they are completely off the radar even of the so-called left? When Katrina happened, I hoped and expected that this would be the trigger to once again set off a true mass movement against racism and for justice in the US, led by those most affected: poor, black working people. When it became abundantly clear that this was not happening, I found myself at the crossroads of hope and hopelessness, and began to wonder how to spend the last years of my life in the service of my people.
