Picket line in New York City protests repression of striking miners in Cananea, MX

NEW YORK, 12 January -- The attack by over 800 state and federal police and Mexican army soldiers, aimed at dislodging striking miners from Cananea (Sonora state), was answered with a protest picket in New York. In front of the Mexican consulate, some 20 demonstrators proclaimed their solidarity with the mineworkers, who have been on strike since July 30 against terrible safety conditions at the Cananea complex and against government attacks on the workers.

Dear Friends,

If you can do anything to circulate or respond to this, please make it happen. As you probably realize, musicians usually don't have insurance or big bank accounts, especially those like Bruce who have been dedicated to peace and justice all their lives. I know you can do something, even if just by a CD or drop him a line of encouragement.

Thanks for being the sort that one can count on to help take care of our own. Holiday greetings, Barbara

Black activist has rights violated and is attacked in home by Denver Police

Press conference set for Monday, Dec. 3rd 7pm @ Denver Police Headquarters 1331 Cherokee St. Denver, CO 80204 720-913-2000.

What: Protest Burger King's exploitation of farmworkers. Support the Coalition of Immokalee Workers' right to be payed fairly for their labor. These folks risk their health on the daily, treading through carcinogenic and mutogenic pesticides so that Burger King can reap record profits. And, so that you can have a couple slices of tomato on your (veggie) burger. Even if you don't eat BK, these folks need our solidarity. They deserve much, much more, so let's help them get a little more, for now. . .
