The Phoenix IWOC

The Phoenix Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee (Phoenix IWOC) is a branch of the national IWOC which is affiliated with the radical labor union, the IWW. (Industrial Workers of the World) Members of the IWW have created the IWOC, the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee, which functions as a liaison for prisoners to organize each other, unionize, and build solid bridges between prisoners on the inside and fellow workers on the outside. We formed based on a general callout for support for the Texas Prisoner strike which began on April 4th, and will compound with a strike by the Free Alabama movement on May 1st, and a national strike on September 9th, the 45th anniversary of the Attica prison rebellion.

We are based in Phoenix and periodically host letter writing events, organizing meetings, and benefits to support the efforts of IWOC, both locally, and nationally. When we have events, we will post about it via this blog.

To join, donate, refer us to someone on the inside of AZ DOC who may wish to be contacted, or otherwise support our efforts, we can be contacted at phoenix.iwoc@riseup.net or (480) 296-3106.
