Litigation Initiated Against Unfair Pacifica Election Process

A legal process was begun this week against the just-concluded Pacifica elections for national and local board members under the new, improperly-imposed Bylaws. A motion for a temporary restraining order to prevent the certification of the election results, citing irreparable harm if the process proceeds, was denied by a judge in L.A. Superior Court. However, the underlying legal challenge, seeking an "order to show cause" and demand for documentation, as well as [...]

Letter to the Editors

Dear Change Links: I am writing in the hopes that it may influence some people at the recent No Kings and other protests I have attended. I think it is very important to demonstrate opposition to what our government is doing. As a disabled veteran, I am very concerned especially about the wars the US is waging or financing, and about the militarism at our so-called Department of War. But I think [...]

Resist Rubio’s McCarthyite Attacks on Cuba, the Black Freedom Struggle, and the Left

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action Los Angeles (ARA-LA/PART) At a recent international gathering of right-wing states and parties, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, angling to run again for US president as a MAGA hard-liner this time, delivered a speech and a 100+ page document attacking Cuba, the Black freedom struggle in the US, and anything to the left of MAGA, as violence-prone communists intent on subversion. This new McCarthyism seeks to [...]

Normalizing Troops in US Streets

© by Mumia Abu-Jamal https://www.prisonradio.org/commentary/normalizing-troops-in-u-s-streets/ People always criticize the Congress, at least the Republicans in Congress for being too supine, and too prostrative when it comes to the president. Well, I don't think it's fair to charge just one branch of the government. We live in a country where the Supreme Court, which is the highest judicial power in the US, essentially gave unlimited power and immunity to the president on the [...]

Wars of the Freedom of Speech

© 11/17/2025 by Mumia Abu-Jamal The US gets kudos all around the world for its heralded First Amendment rights, including the right to freedom of speech. Does the record suggest that? Let's examine it. Years ago, during the last month of the '60s, about four young brothers, including myself, went to the Spectrum, a huge arena in South Philly, to protest the appearance of Governor George Wallace, of Alabama, who was there [...]
