Hello everybody and welcome back to RevLeft Radio.

On today's episode I have back on the show Comrade Garlic to discuss the current situation

with Kevin Rashid Johnson, namely his cancer diagnosis and his brutal mistreatment within

the prison system.

We also talk about the organization where Bradley Revolutionary Intercommunal Black Panther

Party, their mass organization and some developments there.

And also some organizations that work in alliance with the RIBPP or have in some ways

contributed or shown solidarity with them.

A bunch of them are mentioned and shouted out in the episode.

All the links mentioned in this show about how to apply pressure to help out or even just

to follow the news so that if and when another phone zap or another action is needed on

Rashid's behalf, you'll be there to see it and hopefully participate.

Everything at all in this situation helps a lot.

And as we mentioned in this show and in the Kevin Rashid Johnson interview we did a year

or so ago, showing that there is a number of people outside of the prison that care or

a continuous contact with certain prisoners, particularly political prisoners, is in and

of itself a safety mechanism, a protective bulwark for that individual prisoner because

the worst brutalities and the properties can be humanizations can be inflicted on people

in the corrections institution, especially when they feel like they are out of sight

and out of mind.

When the people in the prison that are being dehumanized have nobody on the outside watching

their back or caring about them, it's open season.
