</a></div>Eric McDavid is a political prisoner, currently serving a 20 year sentence in federal prison for “thought crime.” He was arrested in January 2006 (as part of the government's ongoing "Green Scare" campaign against environmental and animal rights activists) after being targeted by an undercover informant who formulated a crime and entrapped Eric in it. Eric was targeted by the state for his political beliefs, and his case is important for everyone who dares to stand up.<br />

The poems, stories, and one song in this collection all tie into the same anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalist source, but all covering very different subjects.

This will be a completely open submission, with no deadline on our reading time. We are looking for submissions for zines and chapbooks presently, with the possibility of short story collections and longer books in the future.

The copies that were lying around here in Denver were pretty old and photocopied to hell, so we took the liberty of laying it out all over again and printing a new edition.<br />
<br />
The zine includes Larry's essay from the early nineties concerning the events of August 21st, 1971, in which on his way to an arms expropriation he was later convicted of, Giddings hears the news of George Jackson's death at San Quentin prison on the car radio. The author's bio, previously featured one written in 1996, has been tweaked to include more accurate and to date information.<br />
<br />
We printed the covers on a golden champagne pearl stock, ensuring the edition's long term survival this time around. You can purchase the zine for $3.00 from our store <a href="http://plpress.bigcartel.com/product/why-anti-authoritarian-by-larry-giddings">here</a>, or <a href="mailto:plpress@riseup.net">email us</a> for bulk ordering options.P&L Presshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09077738520237892381noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6586426909284244641.post-87907484737131965802011-06-28T10:35:00.000-07:002011-06-28T10:35:32.264-07:00Two New Benefit Items!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxZSuHCdokJEe09wlAufasx546pNh2h2BI9_r5e3SGqtJPb2I92j9hTlDJBrIj47pwb-VYtfMbw4yf8a-8GxeHMZmteOQnlS0DcsSsYgO0WpYJqsvDGRNc9Sh-l0O716N37AhQP8sZuPw/s1600/Zakarian---Marilyn-Buck-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxZSuHCdokJEe09wlAufasx546pNh2h2BI9_r5e3SGqtJPb2I92j9hTlDJBrIj47pwb-VYtfMbw4yf8a-8GxeHMZmteOQnlS0DcsSsYgO0WpYJqsvDGRNc9Sh-l0O716N37AhQP8sZuPw/s320/Zakarian---Marilyn-Buck-2.jpg" width="252" /></a></div>We're happy to be carrying two new items to benefit important struggles and organizing!

Money generated by the sale of our printed copies will go straight to providing Amelia with more reading material, phone time, stationary and further legal support.<br />
<br />
Case background (from the <a href="http://www.denverabc.wordpress.com/">Denver Anarchist Black Cross</a>):<br />
<br />
On Friday May 6th, over one hundred people, mostly young, poor, and angry, took to the streets in defiance of the Denver Police Department. They participated in a march, called to confront “police terror” in the Denver Metro area. Specifically, they marched to remember the deaths of Marvin Booker and Oleg Gidenko, two people murdered by area police departments in the last year.<br />
<br />
As the the march ended, a small firework was set off in the street. Police used this act as a justification to chase one alleged participant down an alley, where she was tackled and beaten by police. This person would later be identified as Amelia Nicol, a 20 year old Colorado resident. She now faces outlandish charges including attempted murder.<br />
<br />
We call on all people to support Amelia as she fights these attempts at intimidation and repression, and the police’s broader attack on social movements in Denver.<br />
<br />
Marvin Booker, a homeless street preacher, died at the hands of five sheriff’s deputies in the Van Cise-Simonet Detention Center in downtown Denver on July 9, 2010. He was tackled, beaten, placed into chokeholds, tazed, and kicked. He eventually succumbed to the officers’ brutal attack. He was murdered for refusing to leave his shoes in the booking area of the jail. <br />
<br />
Oleg Gidenko was shot in the head by Aurora Police Officers. Oleg was in a truck with several friends. They had been hanging out, allegedly drinking in the truck while it was parked in a lonely industrial park in Aurora. Aurora Police Officers approached the truck, armed, supposedly because they suspected the occupants of breaking into cars in the area. As the police aimed their weapons at the truck, one officer shot Oleg in the head. Another occupant, Yevgeniy Straystar. was also shot, but would survive. With two occupants, including the driver, shot and a passenger trying to hide on the floor of the truck as it took repeated fire from police officers, the truck lurched forward, bumping into one of the officers. This action, though it took place after the firing had started, and after Oleg was dead, was used as the justification for the shooting.<br />
Many other high profile cases of police terror have been documented in the metro area over the last year, including the beating of whole families, rape and child molestation, and mishandling of evidence. Few, if any, officers are ever punished.<br />
<br />
On May 6th, the fourth in a series of marches was held to show direct opposition to the police terror plaguing the metro area. For several hours the crowd snaked through downtown and the arts district. The police response to this fourth march was much heavier than previous marches, and riot police flanked the march for a good portion of the route. Despite the heavy police presence and attempts at intimidation, Amelia would end up being the only arrest during the march.<br />
<br />
On Thursday May 12th, news agencies across the metro area reported that Amelia would be charged with a host of felonies and misdemeanors, including two counts of attempted murder of a police officer, criminal arson, possession and use of explosives, and inciting a riot. Police alleged she threw the firework, only now in the news reports the firework had become a “molotov cocktail”, or in some news reports, an “improvised explosive.” The small green firework now became a dangerous implement of attempted murder of two police officers. Amelia is now confined to a jail cell in the Denver County Jail, held on a $50,000 bond.<br />
Just days previous, on Monday May 9th, Denver Mayor Guillermo Vidal announced that the deputies implicated in the death of Marvin Booker would face no discipline for their use of force. This announcement came after months of public outcry in response to a September 2010 decision by District Attorney Mitch Morrissey to not file any criminal charges in response to Marvin’s murder.<br />
<br />
The charges now being filed against Amelia are a slap in the face to every person that struggles for justice. The City of Denver has made it clear that the life of a black street preacher is worth less than the relative comfort of several police officers that may have been scared by a small firework. Murderers with badges receive no criminal charges, while a young woman who allegedly attended a protest to hold those officers accountable now faces over 90 years in prison.<br />

The zine weighs in at over fifty pages and is full of photos, action reports, communiques, and essays documenting the growing discontent towards the Denver Police Department over the last year. Featuring texts from the Denver Anarchist Black Cross, West Denver CopWatch, Colorado Indymedia, and Queen City Antifa, Denver Fights Back is a solid chronicle of stories that most media have willingly ignored. Included amongst the rallies and demonstrations for Marvin Booker and other brutality victims are reports of demonstrations against guards sexually assaulting inmates at the Denver Women's Correctional Facility, and pickets outside the city jail in support of striking prisoners in Georgia and against FBI harassment.<br />

In a city with the worst brutality statistics in the entire country, activists and revolutionaries are working to mobilize many communities to combat the police in the streets, in the courts, and in the press. This has taken the form of rowdy street marches shutting down the city, physical confrontations with cops, rallies and vigils, educational events, and countless other actions ensuring victims of police violence like Marvin Booker won't be forgotten: they'll be avenged.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">P&L Press, a publishing and distribution arm of worker-owned print shop P&L Printing, is looking to publish a zine chronicling these events. We are looking to gather photos*, video*, and written accounts from participants, onlookers and organizers to offer a look at this movement from outside the mainstream media. Our aim is to share this story with the city and the world.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">We know this story is still being written, and that this may be an ongoing project. Other editions could be published later. The first prospective edition, Tonight Our Fists Are Theirs Volume I, will cover the events of the last eight months and has a submission deadline of April 2<sup>nd</sup>; our hope being that it can be out before May Day. Our goal with gathering video is to put a short but definitive representation of the actions in one package.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
