As the the Bush administration escalates it's war on the poor ,nonviolent resistance grows amongst the U.S. civilian population and within the U.S. military. Any serious movement that challenges power will have it's prisoners. Prison is designed to isolate, demoralise and crush the resister.

A smple way to counter such isolation is sending a letter or postcard to peace prisoners in military brigs, county jails and federal pens.

From personal experience I can assure you that getting such correspondence from Ireland when your living in a cage or cell lifts morale, makes it safer with the guards and is big hit fellow prisoners (especially stamp collecters!).

If you're going to write a letter against the war - makeit to a peace prisoner rather than a politician! read full story / add a comment

At 9:15 this morning, as I was walking on O'Connell street, I noticed a gathering of people (70/130) at the Spire, all wearing the same bib with the Gama logo on the back, and a construction helmet.

After the first few "I don't speak English" responses, I was directed towards a man with a mobile. He explained the crowd were workers from Gama, a Turkish corporation, contracting the workers for wages of 2 to 3 Euro per hour. The workers had walked out en masse this morning. read full story / add a comment
