DESCRIPTION:Labor, Mumia, Hoshino And The Lessons For Today\nThe growing repression of 
 labor and political activists continues as the “war on terror” is used 
 to silence political dissidents. Mumia Abu-Jamal, a journalist, and Fumiaki 
 Hoshino, an anti-war activist, have been jailed for decades in a political 
 frame-up because of their political views and opposition to militarization 
 and repression.\n This forum will look at both of these cases, the labor 
 movement and the historical role of the International Labor Defense, which 
 was a united front defense committee for working class prisoners in the US. 
 The ILD was set up as a non-partisan body that would defend any member of 
 the working class movement, without regard to personal political views. Any 
 working class activist who came under the thumb of persecution by the 
 capitalist legal system would be supported legally, morally, and 
 financially. It lasted from 1925 to 1946.\n Today as legislation is passed 
 that allows the government to arrest even US citizens and to hold them 
 indefinitely without charges and without any constitutional rights the need 
 for a broad working class defense organization is growing.\n Video of West 
 Coast Strike To Free Mumia\n Speakers include: Jack Heyman and Jerrold 
 Sanders, Labor Committee To Free Mumia Abu-Jamal; Representative from 
 Hoshino Defense Committee and US Committee To Free Hoshino. Kevin Cooper 
 from San Quentin prison will call into the meeting and report on his 
 struggle. Mike Daly ( for David Gilbert ) Haiku for Mumia.\nSee
