DESCRIPTION:In commemoration of the horrific bombing of the MOVE Organization by 
 Philadelphia police 30 years ago, on Saturday, May 16th in Oakland, CA, 
 people will come together at the radical community center Qilombo for the 
 ‘No More Locked Doors’ conference. During the day, groups will be 
 tabling and there will be workshops. In the evening, there will be a panel 
 of former political prisoners. After the panel, revolutionary hip-hop 
 artists will perform.\n\nThe conference will highlight the work of 
 supporting political prisoners in a variety of movements for liberation. 
 All struggles – whether they are against colonialism, capitalism, the 
 exploitation of the earth or of animals, the State, prisons, and any and 
 all other repressive apparatus – have a need to practice long-term 
 support for those incarcerated. These practices of solidarity need to be 
 maintained and generalized.\n\nTabling by political prisoner and prisoner 
 support organizations will start at 11am and go until 6pm.\n\nA series of 
 workshops, on prisoner support strategy and history, will happen around 
 Qilombo from noon until 6 pm. The schedule of these workshops will be 
 posted soon at nomorelockeddoors.org. \n\nAt 7pm, a panel of former 
 political prisoners will speak. We are overjoyed to announce a panel 
 consisting of: Richard Brown (of the SF8), Linda Evans (May 19th Communist 
 Organization), Sundiata Tate (SQ6) and Rita "Bo" Brown (George Jackson 
 Brigade). Full bios of the speakers are available at 
 https://nomorelockeddoors.org/former-political-prisoner-panel/.\n\nThe 
 collective working on the conference is also showing "Let the Fire Burn," a 
 film about the bombing of MOVE, at the Omni Commons on May 13th. The film 
 is being shown on the 30th anniversary of the bombing. More information can 
 be found at
