One day our comrades will come home. Leonard Peltier came home last year; Marius Mason came home this year. Many of our Green Scare, Animal Rights, Anarchist, Black and Puerto Rican Liberation, Indigenous and Anti-Imperialist Warriors, and Conscientious Objectors have come home. And one day the Prairieland and other anti-fascist prisoners will return to our communities, too.
Join the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Support Committee and friends for an online webinar, Sunday, July 26, at 2pm ET, as we celebrate Marius Mason’s return home and let those inside know we are here for them. MC’d by Matt Meyer with Ashanti Alston, Diana Block, Josh Harper, Ray Luc Levasseur, and Julie Herrada (Marius Mason Support Committee).
People Do Come Home: An Event for the Prairieland Defendants and All Political Prisoners brings together an intergenerational group of former political prisoners and support committee members who will share their experiences of coming home and building prisoner support movements as we seek solace in a time of fascism.
“For, if they take you in the morning,” James Baldwin wrote to Angela Davis, “they will be coming for us that night.” Our movement must respond as “they” may come for “us”: repress us, arrest us, imprison us. But we will fight back and be here for each other when we come home!
While this is a free event, we humbly ask that you donate to the Marius Mason Support Fund. To support the DFW Support Committee or individual defendants, please visit their fundraising page.
The full event will be transcribed and shared with political prisoners and made available to support committees.
Technical and organizational support for People Do Come Home provided by Common Notions Press, artwork by Josh MacPhee of Justseeds, publicity by Agency, and with the support of the Prairieland Defendants / DFW Support Committee.
