Mumia's Best (and Last) Chance for a New Trial: A Legal Update Hans Bennett 2006-11-24 1:39 AM
On October 23, attorney Robert R. Bryan (attorney for death-row prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal) filed the 4th Step Reply Brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, Philadelphia. Because this should be the last round of reply briefs, Bryan estimates that the public hearing of arguments should begin within three months. After the hearing, the panel of judges will then decide whether to grant Abu-Jamal a new trial. (text/plain)

More participation encouraged for 2nd Community Congress Brian Denzer 2006-11-23 3:38 PM
The latest process underway to plan the rebuilding of New Orleans neighborhoods will be tested again on December 2nd. Residents and observers will be watching to see if the demographic composition of participants at the second citywide Community Congress more closely reflects the actual pre-Katrina population of New Orleans. Some groups of residents were grossly under-represented at the first Community Congress on October 28th, a fact which could be used to label the process illegitimate in the future if New Orleanians decide they don't agree with the final plans. A majority of the participants voted to finance rebuilding projects in dry neighborhoods before projects in more flooded neighborhoods. Not only was attendance at the first Congress extremely low - approximately 200 participants - but the demographic makeup of the group was more than three-quarters white, compared to a pre-Katrina population which was 67% black. In order to raise the level of participation at the second Community Congress, planning organizers will offer a live simulcast of the New Orleans planning presentations to displaced residents in Baton Rouge, Atlanta, Houston, and Dallas. Organizers are also promising to provide child care, meals and transportation. Making sure all groups are adequately represented was the message conveyed by Dawn Loubig, a Mid-City resident. She was interviewed at an November 11th planning meeting. 4:25, 2.1 mb, 64 kbps. (audio/mpeg)

Kathy Kelly to James Baker: “Tell the Truth about Iraq!” William Hughes 2006-11-23 12:14 AM

Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Kathy Kelly, gave a talk at the UMBC campus, on Nov. 20, 2006. She mocked the ex-Secretary of State, James Baker, for saying he wasn’t going to “wring his hands” about past mistakes in Iraq. Baker heads up the so-called “Iraq Study Group.” Kelly roared: “We will wring our hands! One of the ways to stop this next war is to tell the truth about this war. And, it’s not going to be such a pleasant mirror to look into.” (image/jpeg)

"Stay Local" this holiday season Brian Denzer 2006-11-20 9:31 AM
With half of the New Orleans population still displaced outside of the city, many local businesses are struggling to survive with a reduced customer base. The struggle can be particularly difficult for hardware supply stores which were fast to return to re-open after Hurricane Katrina, but which now have to compete with big box retailers doing a record business as a result of one of the largest urban rebuilding projects in American history. Dana Eness leads the Stay Local campaign, which is asking New Orleans residents to commit to spending at least 25 percent of their holiday shopping in local businesses. 27:08, 12.8 mb, 64 kbps.

Citizens more unified around planning issues Brian Denzer 2006-11-20 9:11 AM
The Unified New Orleans Plan process became somewhat more unified as neighborhood planning organizations assembled around the city on November 11th for district-level meetings. Participation is still low, but most people felt that the process is starting to make sense. Deborah Davis lived in the Desire public housing development, and still feels like she has to fight for the rights of all citizens who need subsidized housing assistance, including herself, but she felt optimistic about the mood of other citizens involved with her in the planning process. 17:17, 8.1 mb, 64 kbps.

Our program and theirs: Against opportunism, for a revolutionary workers' party! Fred Bergen 2006-11-17 6:18 PM
Opportunism marches under two or more banners: proclaiming the need for a revolutionary workers' party on the great anniversaries of the socialist movement or in a box at the corner of the party's newspaper, and the rest of the time selling a discounted "alternative" party, not quite revolutionary, not quite socialist, half price for the less advanced workers.

Venezuelan elections: Cast a blank ballot Mario López 2006-11-17 1:57 PM
[Here's a translation of the latest article from the Venezuelan Trotskyists. It is of special interest in the United States, where the left entirely capitulates to the Bolivarian popular front headed by Hugo Chávez, thinking that their blind endorsement of class collaboration is some kind of "solidarity." Solidarity with whom? With what class?] (text/plain)

'We are dead people' - Gaza defiance grows as Israeli grip stifles economy Rory McCarthy 2006-11-17 9:31 AM
Since the militant Hamas movement was elected to power this year, Israel has refused to transfer the $60m (£31m) monthly tax revenues due to the Palestinians, and the west has halted direct financial support for the government. Since March 160,000 government employees, from doctors and teachers to security staff, have gone without their salary. Regular Israeli closures and delays at crossing points out of Gaza have badly hit the already fragile economy. (text/plain)
