The 'Friends of Marcia Powell' are autonomous groups and individuals engaging in prisoner outreach, informal advocacy, and organized protest and direct actions in a sustained campaign to: promote prisoner rights and welfare in America; engage the Arizona public in a creative and thoughtful critique of our system of "justice;” deconstruct the prison industrial complex; and dismantle this racist, classist patriarchy...

Retiring "Free Marcia Powell"

As of December 2, 2010 (with occasional exceptions) I'm retiring this blog to direct more of my time and energy into prisoner rights and my other blogs; I just can't do anyone justice when spread so thin. I'll keep the site open so folks can search the archives and use the links, but won't be updating it with new posts. If you're looking for the latest, try Arizona Prison Watch. Most of the pieces posted here were cross-posted to one or both of those sites already.

Thanks for visiting. Peace out - Peg.

No Nazis, No Hate: Ballad of Anti-Nazi Street Fighterz .

Many of these people who greeted the Nazis and battled the cops in the streets of Phoenix this weekend are my friends and comrades - all deploying a diversity of tactics. I stumbled onto this ballad on Facebook tonight - it had been viewed only 22 times on Youtube when I grabbed it.

It's explicit, perhaps - but nowhere near as offensive as the Nazis were - and the PHX PD.
The lyrics are pasted below. I tried to discern who the singers are with no luck - whoever it is that put this together is awesome. You all fucking rock.

Check out the report and photos from the rally at the Phoenix Class War Council's blog. They really nailed the cops.

Here are a few of my heroes...watch them free one of their comrades from the grips of the police!


Assorted pics and vid from Nov. 13, 2010 Anti-Nazi Resistance in Phoenix, AZ!
