DESCRIPTION:The Block Report is one of the most valuable apparatuses of the POCC. POCC 
 is an acronym for the Prisoners of Conscience Committee, known throughout 
 the community as the Panther Cubs.\n\nOur position is that there is a war 
 being waged on our community, and we say what Minister Huey P. Newton said, 
 “if we don’t fight back, it can be defined as nothing less than 
 reactionary suicide”. And we understand in warfare, when we’re under 
 attack, communications is one of the primary moves that the enemy will 
 attempt to wipe out.\n\nThe Block Report, as well as a number of other 
 apparatuses, but the Block Report in particular, has and continues to serve 
 as one of our major communications vehicles.  It is an apparatus that has 
 taken the word from every venue that we touch, that we are able to tap 
 into; whether it be the venue of electoral politics with updates from 
 forces such as former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, whether it be 
 updates on the POCC Code of Culture with Mos Def, and him coming to court 
 to testify for our Minister of Defense Aaron Patterson, as well as day to 
 day campaigns that we are dealing with such as the issue of police 
 terrorism, with the case of Oscar Grant who was executed by Oakland BART 
 pig by the name of Johannes Mehserle, January 1st of 2009.\n\nSo again the 
 Block Report taps into every venue of our community, and is able to 
 communicate as well as translate the contradictions, and not in a dogmatic 
 or elitist type of way.\n\nWe commend our Central Committee, our 
 Information Bureau that is able to, even though those in our community 
 don’t read as much as we would like for them to read, take this 
 information here, internalize it, and move it around in the community in 
 laymen terms so whether it be forces at Merritt College or Yale University, 
 or those on 47th Street in Chicago, or the streets of Cincinnatti, they can 
 be updated with the day to day campaigns, the attacks on our community, as 
 well as different venues where we can resist these attacks that are being 
 waged on the community.\n
