The
Guerrilla Information Collective's goals are:
The
dissemination of information through any means
necessary.
Fighting
the rampant over-cutting of our forest land.
Dispelling
the intense greenwashed advertising that corporations
use to hide their unsustainable, and ecologically
devastating ways.
The
way we intend to do this are now, and always will
be, without the potential risk of human or animal
injury. No Guerrilla Information Collective
potential action will ever cause loss of human
or animal life.
Please
see the disclaimer....
Please
also note our Anti-Oppression Policy...
"In light of the events on September 11, my
country has told me that I should not cooperate
with terrorists. I therefore am refusing to cooperate
with members of Congress who are some of the most
extreme terrorists in history." -Craig

In general, many of these prisoners fall
into one or more of several categories:
*
They were jailed for acts they made clear
before and/or during their trials were expressly political
actions carried out against the state, its policies, capitalism
and/or oppression. An example of such a prisoner would
be Sundiata Acoli (former Black Panther Party organizer
arrested with Assata Shakur); Jeff "Free" Luers
(convicted for eco-sabotage), or Mumia Abu-Jamal.
*
They were jailed for acts that mainline
movement groups may not regard as "political action,"
but which should be regarded as notable. An example of
such a prisoner would be Ali Khalid Abdullah (anarchist
prisoner serving time for action against community drug
trafficking) or Fran Thompson (an activist imprisoned
for killing a stalker).
*
They may have gone to prison for a "social
crime" and became politicized to the conditions of
society via their incarceration and are seeking to organize
and educate themselves and/or their fellow prisoners.
Many of these prisoners face repression for their efforts.
An example of such a prisoner would be Herman Wallace
and Albert Woodfox of the Angola Three; George Jackson,
author of Blood In My Eye, or Sanyika Shakur, author of
Monster.
*
They are innocent victims of unjust convictions
and are fighting for freedom. Many countries have seen
prisoners released as evidence of official misconduct
surfaced. Many more are still behind bars.
Many of the defense committees connected
with various prisoners or prisoners themselves can provide
latest updates, detailed information about their cases.
In addition, supporters should always work diligently
as well to ask questions about charges, cases and the
specifics of convictions, so to help articulate clear
information.
Some organizations, such as Jericho, favor
focusing on prisoners defined as political by various
accords (United Nations, "movement" tribunals,
etc.). Other groups offer support to all prisoners engaged
in class war and do not adhere to standard definitions,
maintaining that law and the "movement" have
failed to adequately address political changes and repression
in the last 10-15 years. Many ABC groups do, in fact,
support freedom for prisoners recognized as political
prisoners.
Many of those same ABC groups fight actively
against unjust convictions, police brutality and repression
of activists, and campaign passionately for freedom of
all radicals locked down, from veteran revolutionaries
like Leonard Peltier to those prisoners whom certain groups
shy away from -- such as prison organizers, earth liberation,
self-defense and anti-fascist prisoners -- but whose resistance
is no less legitimate.
