Emergency Situation:
Act to Stop Mass Incarceration and Racist Murders of Our Youth Now!
Tens of thousands of people imprisoned in this country are held in conditions that fit the international definition of torture. The murder of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman concentrates an ugly reality in this country, that this white supremacist society has placed a bulls-eye on the backs of Black youth; criminalizing and demonizing them; declaring that it’s open season on them. The people must act to say NO MORE to the torture going on in U.S. prisons and NO MORE to racist murders like what happened to Trayvon Martin.

Nothing Good Can Come of Israeli Attacks or U.S. Intervention in Syria
In early May, Israel launched bomb attacks against Syria in the name of "self-defense." These attacks were nothing but blatant aggression for reactionary aims—the latest in the decades-long history of Israeli crimes in the Middle East and beyond, backed by and in the service of the U.S. and other imperialists. The attacks must be condemned and opposed.
