  Subject: [IPSM] Political Prisoner and Prisoner of War Calendar 2006: Call for Submissions



  CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

  Political Prisoner and Prisoner of War Calendar 2006

  We are looking for written submissions and artwork for our 2006 Freedom for 
  Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War calendar.

  Submissions can be up to 800 words, and may include poetry, satire, statements, 
  or interviews. We are particularly looking for submissions by ex or current 
  P.P.'s and P.O.W.'s, their families and supporters.

  This year, as much as possible, we are seeking submissions that fit into the 
  theme suggested by white anti-imperialist Political Prisoner and calendar 
  contributor David Gilbert. We hope this year's calendar will present an 
  internationalist perspective, with an emphasis on the leadership of progressive 
  movements in the global south. We want to highlight the links between movements 
  occuring in all our local communities, and larger movements for global social 
  change.  As David explains:

  "There are overlapping potential movements [in the U.S. and Canada] that have 
  failed to achieve the potential and needed synergy: antiglobalization, antiwar, 
  and antiracism.  They need to go together because the progressive alternative 
  to the "war on terror" is "global justice," and because the only reason Bush 
  et. al. get away with their big lies and wholesale slaughter is the legacy of 
  white supremacy.  So the question is in what ways can we promote synergy?  And 
  additionally for white anti-imperialists, how can anti-racist consciousness be 
  fostered among activist white youth?"

  "As we know, the antiglobalization movement didn't start with Seattle. The 
  leadership has come from the global South, which makes sense because that's 
  where the contradictions are the sharpest.  As we know, the Zapatistas and some 
  women-led community struggles in India are prime examples. But there's also a 
  lot happening throughout Latin America: Argentina, Ecuador, Bolivia, Brazil. 
  So, my proposed theme for '06: highlight anti-glob. struggles of the South, to 
  educate folks, to bring some of their political leadership to us, to promote 
  anti-racist consciousness."

  Submissions on this theme will be prioritised, but please feel free to submit 
  on other topics.  Due to space constraints, we may not be able to print all 
  submissions. Please include a short bio of 2-4 sentences with your submission.

  Artwork will be printed in full colour.  It does not have to fit directly into 
  the theme.

  We need all written submissions and artwork by JUNE 1ST, 2005.

  Thank you very much for your support of the 2006 calendar project.

  Who We Are

  We are a group of people who are committed to doing work grounded in an 
  anti-imperialist and anti-racist perspective. We work in solidarity with 
  anti-colonial struggles, Political Prisoners and the rights of undocumented 
  citizens and immigrants. We are queer and trans positive. Two outside groups, 
  one based in Montreal, and one based in New York City work together with three 
  New York State Political Prisoners: Robert Seth Hayes, Herman Bell and David 
  Gilbert to create the calendar each year. Proceeds from the 2006 calendar will 
  be used for direct support work for Political Prisoners and anti-colonialist 
  and anti-imperialist struggles in the U.S. and Canada.

  What Our Goals Are

  We hope to raise awareness of Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War in the 
  United States, many of whom are now in or approaching their 30th year of 
  imprisonment. We feel it is extremely important that people on the streets 
  recognize the history of today's social justice movements, and how that ties in 
  with solidarity for PPs/POWs. We want to emphasis the ongoing involvement and 
  continued commitment of PPs/POWs in these same movements.

  Or other principle goal is to raise funds for groups doing direct support work 
  for Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War in Canada and the U.S.A., or for 
  groups engaged in the anti-imperialist struggles.
