Here is a list of some current Political Prisoners in the United States of America that we wish to see free. There are many more, and we plan to add contacts and links to this blog, so keep checking in on it, there are links attached to each of the names. These people are all elders and many are suffering from serious medical conditions. What peole world wide are asking is that they be immediately be given Compassionate Release, and be returned to their families.
Over the years I learned about many political prisoners both in the U.S. and some held in other countries around the world. I learned about Oscar Lopez Rivera and was very confused. I didn’t know the U.S. had political prisoners. As I learned more about Mr. Lopez Rivera I also learned about the historical relationship between the United States and Puerto Rico. I learned about the forced sterilization of one-third of Puerto Rican women of childbearing age. I learned about massacres and I learned of other political prisoners e.g. Lolita Lebron, and Rafael Cancel Miranda. I also learned about experiments conducted on Puerto Ricans and I learned about the bombing of Viejes and of the horrible treatment of Puerto Rican leader, Pedro Albizo Campos.
Move
I learned all about John Africa’s Move Organization and all the sad stories, I learned about the Move 9. I learned about the bombing of the home on Osage Avenue on the 10th of May, 1985, and how the city and police murdered eleven members of the Move family including children. I also learned how Ramona Africa was arrested after surviving the bombing. I also learned about the popular Philadelphia journalist who later join the group Mumia Abu Jamal, who is still in prison for a crime, no one believes he truly committed.
Peoples Movements
I learned about various people’s movements including the American Indian Movement, and the Black Panther Party, and about the measures that the U.S. government took to destroy these people’s movements, e.g. the counterintelligence program, COINTELPRO. I honestly learned a lot and the more I read the more I wanted to learn about how this world really works, and how some people are not allowed to choose alternative lifestyles or ideologies, or even free to choose a different path for their people. Nor are BIPOC people free to defend their people, or speak out against police or government violence committed against their people. In other words, I learned just how free, we BIPOC people living in the so-called Land of the Free really aren’t.
Free Them All
I want all these human beings that have been separated from their families for political motives, to be immediately released and reunited with their families. We need a better, fairer world. No child should have to go to bed hungry, nor have to flee their home due to war, or be afraid because of violence. All this has to stop. We need to unite against the class war that has us all fighting one another while a select few benefit from this evil. End wars! Free all political prisoners!
