A Month in the Life of Pittsburgh Organizing Group Pittsburgh Organizing Group 2007-04-28 6:02 PM
Pittsburgh Organizing Group (POG) is a radical group based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania working to affect systemic progressive change in society. We seek to understand and oppose the inter-connected forms of oppression while utilizing non-hierarchical, consensus-based organizing. As a fairly large and active group we often do an inadequate job at conveying to other groups and interested people what our work looks like. We thought an article detailing what's been happening in the past month might be of interest rather than a single report on one of our events. (text/html)

Call for Submissions: Zine on Property Destruction Casey Ford 2007-04-28 8:32 AM
Entering the radical community, many quickly find themselves constantly hearing about debate over property destruction. Is it violence? Does it matter if it's violence? Is it effective? Is it alienating? And on and on. I've been hearing this argument pretty much since I regularly started attending protests. At this point, I almost don't want to deal with the subject. Naturally, you're asking, "Then why the hell do you want to make a zine about it?" (text/plain)

Official Statement of Friends of Kevin! www.myspace.com/freekevinjohnson 2007-03-13 1:49 AM
THE CASE SO FAR In July 2005, 12-year-old Joseph "Bam Bam" Long collapsed on the floor of his house in Kirkwood (St. Louis County). Police, slow to respond to his family's 911 calls, finally arrived, and then, neglecting to even check his pulse, simply stood around waiting for an ambulance while Bam Bam lay face down. Upon arrival, paramedics pronounced him dead. Hours later, one of those cops, Sgt. William McEntee, lay dead in a pool of his own blood several blocks from Bam Bam's house. Authorities swarmed the Meacham Park neighborhood kicking in doors and terrorizing residents. Days later, desperate to blame someone, police arrested Bam Bam's older brother, Kevin Johnson. In the lead up to Kevin's March 26th (2007) trial, the state has been going to great lengths to portray Kevin as a monster- accusing him, his family, and his friends of interfering with witnesses. The state and its courts have made their intentions clear: they plan to execute Kevin. What should be abundantly clear by now, though, is it's not Kevin who's the monster. The state is the real monster. (text/plain)
