Powerful never heard before plight peace and freedom of political prisoners
This needs to expand to include a bigger base. Unions have been usurped and coopted for the most part, but this can change over time. The entire tech sector needs to be unionized, which means unionizing a largely white and increasingly south asian labor force. The entire gig economy is the DEATH of labor rights, period. This goes beyond black lives.

Happy Juneteenth to my sisters and brothers. Love and Solidarity 💙💙💙✊
Kudos to any union with the courage to shut down this fascist system. Thanks for this extremely important report. The US prison system has been destroying human rights for far too long. We must never forget the black and first nations political prisoners.
Hypocrisy racism pandering. It's considered to be okay for every race but the white race to have groups, orgs, association's, tv channels, awards shows, holidays, etc, dedicated to their race but anything and everything white is racist. How is that not racist ?
By being selfish, black lives ONLY matter missed an opportunity to unite all races for better accountability of revenue enforcement. Cops shoot/kill twice as many white suspects as black suspects so why the black favoritism ? I thought that was racist ?
This is the kind of protests that are effective because it hurts corporate pockets. This is effective because it is ORGANIZED!

I think you need to do a much fuller programme about these black political prisoners
Brilliant
UNTIL THE LION LEARNS TO WRITE AND SPEAK TRUTH AND NOT BE SILENCED BY THOSE WHO STEAL KILL AND DESTROY HIS COMMUNITY THAT HE LOVES SO DEARLY♥ï¸
EVERY STORY WILL ALWAYS GLORIFY THE HUNTER.
The fascists in Italy also released Antonio Gramsci from prison when he was just about to die!
Hearing these stories I can see how the white elites in power are scared to death of young black men rising for their rights; and still scared and vicious today after all these years!
Get a summary on a web site. Info on who, their cases and the court documents. We in Europe need to see the cases. Get going!
Support from Scotland!
With any luck all our political prisoner's will soon see Freedom.
