 \nCross-border Resistance to State Terrorism\n\nThis panel will explore 
 where the U.S. and Latin America's leftist revolutionary movements have 
 overlapped, historically and today, identify tools of oppression state 
 governments have used to weaken their power, and illustrate the critical 
 importance of Black and Brown solidarity from anti-capitalist  
 perspectives.\n\n\nFeatured panelists:\nPrisoners of Conscience 
 Committee\n\n"We are not a prison activist organization. We are a 
 revolutionary organization." - Fred Hampton, Jr.\n\nThe Prisoners of 
 Conscience Committee was founded by Fred Hampton, Jr. during the nine years 
 he spent in jail in the 1990's. In the words of Chairman Fred, Jr: "[The 
 POCC] was literally birthed from behind enemy lines, its birth canal was 
 the concentration camps, its umbilical cords are the prison chains." Now an 
 international organization, the P.O.C.C engages in revolutionary work 
 throughout the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean, both through their 
 own programs and through coalition building with other revolutionary 
 peoples and organizations. \n\nListen to an interview with Chairman Fred 
 Hampton Jr. on "UN Hearing on U.S. Human Rights Violations and Racism" by 
 Minister of Information

 Solis\nCommittee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador\n\nFounded in 
 1980, CISPES grew into a powerful national grassroots solidarity 
 organization that helped prevent a full-scale US invasion of Central 
 America. In the 1990's, CISPES rejoiced with the Salvadoran people as they 
 celebrated the end of the shooting war and tentatively made the transition 
 to new battlefields of struggle. Today CISPES is in solidarity with global 
 struggles against rampant U.S. imperialism -- people fighting against U.S. 
 government wars in Iraq and throughout the world, while also resisting free 
 trade policies of CAFTA, the FTAA, and the WTO.  CISPES is unique in U.S. 
 radical history: a grassroots anti-war movement united in solidarity with a 
 Third World revolution.\n\nRead an article from the Bay Area CISPES

 \nWilson riles\n\nBlack Alliance for Just Immigration\n\nThe mission of the 
 Black Alliance for Just Immigration is to engage African Americans and 
 other communities in a dialogue that leads to actions that challenge U.S. 
 immigration policy and the underlying issues of race, racism and economic 
 inequity that frame it.  BAJI's goal is to develop a core group of African 
 Americans who are prepared to actively support immigrant rights and to 
 build coalitions with immigrant communities and immigrant rights 
 organizations to further the mutual cause of economic and social justice 
 for all. \n\nRead Wilson Riles' article from Black Commentator: Unpaid debt

 anger\nhttp://www.blackcommentator.com/277/277_unpaid_debt_anger_riles_guest.html\n\nCritical 
 Resistance: In September 1998, thousands gathered in Berkeley, California, 
 for conference that founded Critical Resistance's movement to abolish the 
 prison industrial complex (PIC). Each participant, with their own 
 experiences of oppression and resistance, watched as diverse struggles were 
 unified: by humanity, hope, and the shared vision of a different world. We 
 witnessed a vision of a world with truly safe, healthy, and whole 
 communities; a world with unconditional access to self-determination and 
 dignity for all; and, critically, a world without imprisonment, policing, 
 and other forms of punishment and control.\n\nTo celebrate 10 years of 
 Critical Resistance, thousands will converge once more, September 26-28, 
 2008, in Oakland, California, for CR10, a 10th Anniversary Celebration and 
 Strategy 
 Session.\n\nhttp://www.criticalresistance.org/article.php?list=type&type=36\n
