🚨 Prisoner Hisham Abu-Hawash, who was on a 141-day hunger strike, will be free on February 26. An amazing victory. Now we must focus our efforts on protesting the draconian Israeli practice of “administrative detention” (imprisoning people indefinitely without charges or trial).
Important discussion this Sunday on body cameras with Portland Committee on Community-Engaged Policing. I personally don’t believe body cameras will improve our current situation until we redress organization culture and building/following the best policies. Trust is built through actions, not cameras.
Its important that our support for prisoners isnt contingent on if a person did or didn’t do the “crime” they’re convinced of. The entire movement falls apart as soon as we attach a lesser value to people who “broke the law” Every comrade serving time is worthy of your attention
