Planning for February, 1998
In February we are organizing events to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the siege at Wounded Knee. Events may include Mohawk nation speaker, "Incident at Oglala" showing, talk given by local activists pertaining to current First Nation struggles and a vigil to raise awareness and support
for American Indian Movement leaders currently imprisoned and to remember those previously killed.
January, 1998 events
RAIL and MIM will be putting on showings of the films
Palante, Siempre Palante, and All Power to the People!
We will also host Big Black, a.k.a. Frank Smith, a prisoner leader
in the Attica rebellion of September, 1971. In late January or early
February, we will gather support for our Free Books for Prisoners
Program through a bucket drive on the University of Michigan campus.

Free Books for Prisoners
This program always needs your donations of books, cash or stamps.
For more than ten years MIM has sent its newspaper, MIM Notes, free
to prisoners who request a subscription. We also send our theory
journal and books on politics, history, law and Marxism to prisoners
looking to study and organize in greater depth. You send us a book,
we'll send it to a prisoner who needs one.
