Film Screening in Support of Marie Mason
Wellington people are showing a screening of 'If a Tree Falls' in support of Marie Mason, an
imprisoned activist in the United States.
The film will be shown at:
"Our world is faced with some tremendous problems: climate
change, war, racism, sexism, colonialism, pollution, deforestation,
genetic engineering, corporate exploitation...the list could go on and
on. There are millions of people who have taken action to stop these
in-justices and bring about a better world. Many of them are sitting in
prisons serving long and difficult sentences for standing up for their
belief in justice, their desire to stop a wrong or for daring to fight
back against systematic oppression and exploitation.
From the United States, to Russia to New Zealand and everywhere in
between, political prisoners, those who have been imprisoned for
holding, advocating or acting on dissenting political views, are with us
and are part of our social struggles.
For those of us who care about these wider social issues, we have a
responsibility to stand in solidarity with political prisoners. We have a
responsibility to provide aid and support to them, and to struggle for
their freedom. They are the imprisoned captives of injustice."
The Freedom Shop has zines and books about prison, prison abolition and 'political' prisoners.
