Free the Jena 6—On the Air

Revolution correspondent Alice Woodward reported the story of the Jena 6 on KALW, an NPR station in San Francisco on August 3. On August 14, she was interviewed live from Jena on Michael Slate’s show “Beneath the Surface” on KPFK in Los Angeles. That show can be downloaded at http://64.27.15.184/parchive/mp3/kpfk_070814_170300bts_michael.mp3. On August 23, Alice Woodward was the guest on the Power 98 Morning Madhouse, on hip hop and R&B station WPEG in Charlotte. The hosts—No Limit Larry, Janine Davis, Tone X, and Church Boy—organized listeners live on the air to get on buses to Jena. They announced the phone number to get on the bus from Charlotte, and called on listeners who had more busses to make them available to take people to protest in Jena at the scheduled sentencing of Mychal Bell on September 20. The station is making that show available as a podcast at http://www.power98fm.com/pages/146365.php?contentType=34&contentId=1705

"What we see in contention here with Jihad on the one hand and McWorld/McCrusade on the other hand, are historically outmoded strata among colonized and oppressed humanity up against historically outmoded ruling strata of the imperialist system. These two reactionary poles reinforce each other, even while opposing each other. If you side with either of these ‘outmodeds,’ you end up strengthening both."

Bob Avakian,
Chairman of the RCP,USA
From the talk, “Why We’re in the Situation We’re in Today… And What to Do About It: A Thoroughly Rotten System and the Need for Revolution”

"In a world marked by profound class divisions and social inequality, to talk about “democracy”— without talking about the class nature of that democracy and which class it serves—is meaningless, and worse. So long as society is divided into classes, there can be no “democracy for all”: one class or another will rule, and it will uphold and promote that kind of democracy which serves its interests and goals. The question is: which class will rule and whether its rule, and its system of democracy, will serve the continuation, or the eventual abolition, of class divisions and the corresponding relations of exploitation, oppression and inequality."
