On July 6, 2025, Des Revol was arrested and charged with evidence tampering and obstruction of justice. Part of the alleged evidence is a box of zines. The government alleges that these zines were moved, from one house to another, and that this is evidence of illegal activity. From the photos supplied to media by the feds, we can see that some of the zines included are

It's Vacant, Take It! A Homes Not Jails Squatting Zine

Organizing for Attack! Insurrectionary Anarchy

Another Critique of Insurrectionalism

War in the Streets: Tactical Lessons from the Global Civil War, vol. 1

For the Love of Winning: An Open Letter to Extinction Rebellion

Toward the Queerest Insurrection

All funds from the sale of these zines is going towards Des' legal costs.

We can't say whether or not reading, or merely possessing, these zines is a threat to the government. That's up to you.

it is genuinely exhausting how many people in online spaces for the Hellaverse (and specifically HaHo), critical and fan, justify the act of collective punishment just because you're told that it's Hell and that none are innocent

extremely, extremely reflective- and thus equal parts fatiguing to process this being the status quo upheld when I see these posts- of Western/hegemonic society's view of criminality and punitive justice

sigh

"Prisoners Justice Day," Sault Star. August 23, 1983. Page 4. --- I was very disappointed that there was no writeup of Prisoners Justice Day in The Sault Star, as I have a subscription to your newspaper. We, prisoners in the federal penitentiary system, have put one day a year aside to fast and refuse work in memory of the convicts who have died, some due to lack of medical care while in solitary confinement areas, some shot in riots or hostage-taking.

On Aug. 10, 1973, Eddie Nalon died in the super maximum prison at Millhaven. He served but three years of a life sentence!

On Aug. 10, 1976, the first annual Prisoners Justice Day was held, and it has grown into a nationally observed remembrance day. Not only is it observed in prisons throughout Canada, but by our relatives, friends, and supporters on the other side of the barbed wire and rifles.

Each year, friends, relatives, and prison reform organizations travel to Ottawa to parade on Parliament Hill, bringing to light the injustice of the prison system.

We have been trying to make the annual Prisoners Justice Day recognizable throughout Canada, as it was in France this year.

Prisoners Justice Day is not a protest; it is a day we set aside to remember our friends who no longer smile or laugh.

We remember laughing with them, we remember the ugly circumstances and needlessness of their deaths…

WE REMEMBER!! Claude LeBlanc, No. 9247, Joyceville Penitentiary

Practical Abolition from the Inside Out: Reflections on Prisoner Solidarity Organizing by Some Members of the Barton Prisoner Solidarity Project by Barton Prisoner Solidarity Project, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, 2023

When I think of abolitionists, my mind always goes to the times of chattel slavery. But OF COURSE, we should still be concerned with the treatment of prisoners today.

abolition noun ab·​o·​li·​tion ˌa-bə-ˈli-shᵊn  Synonyms of abolition : the act of officially ending or stopping something : the act of abolishing something (thanks MW)

In this zine the Barton Prisoner Solidarity Project talks about abolitionist organizing in Hamilton, Ontario. How they build relationships across prison walls, supporting prisoner-led resistance, and confronting the practical challenges of solidarity work. They show their methods; what’s worked for them and what hasn’t. Their Instagram, linked above, is informative as well.

Hello comrades! We have just learned that everyone locked up in a US prison is eligible for the $1200 stimulus check. Remember that check? The one we are all supposed to be living on months later? Anyway, it’s a lot of money for our friends, family and comrades inside… But they only have until October 15 to send in a form (1040) to the IRS.

We have to spread the news, spread the form, and help people get it out ASAP. If you know anyone inside, you can send them this PDF. We are mailing it to everyone in our network, so we’re sharing it with you all here.

!!!!PDF FORMS HERE!!!!

Ed’s Story In April of 1971, Edward Poindexter and Mondo we Langa, formerly David Rice, were sentenced to life in prison for the death of an Omaha police officer- a crime they did not commit. The two were targeted by law enforcement and wrongfully convicted due to their affiliation with the Black Panther Party, a civil rights and anti-fascist political group. Nearly 50 years later, Ed is still in prison and maintains his innocence. He has earned several college degrees, taught anti-violence classes to youth, authored screenplays, and more. His last chance for freedom is to receive a commutation of sentence from the Nebraska Board of Pardons. At age 75, he is at high risk for COVID related health complications. He must receive an immediate and expedited commutation hearing from the Board.

EMAIL: [email protected] @freedom4ed Take Action Now Write, email and call the Nebraska Board of Pardons. Request that they expedite Ed’s application, schedule his hearing for the October 2020 meeting and commute his sentence. WRITE: Nebraska Board of Pardons P.O. Box 95007 Lincoln, NE 68509 *please email a copy of your letter  to [email protected] Sample Letter Dear Pardons Board: I am writing in regards to Edward Poindexter, #27767, who has served nearly 50 years in prison with exemplary behavior and many accomplishments. He is 75 years old and at high risk for COVID-19 related medical complications, which have been amplified by the increased COVID transmission rate among prisoners. I am therefore requesting that the Board expedite Ed’s application, schedule his hearing for the October 2020 Board meeting, and commute his sentence to length of time served.
