Phoenix IWOC meeting this Saturday @ 12 PM at Fair Trade Cafe!

Join Phoenix IWOC at Fair Trade Cafe (by Roosevelt lightrail station) at 12 P.M. on Saturday, May 15th as we discuss the latest updates and new developments in the prison abolition movement. Additionally we'll discuss how it is that we on the outside can organize to make this struggle as connected and powerful as possible.

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, 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 has culminated with the current strike by the Free Alabama movement, which started on May 1st. Much of the actions taking place on the inside and out are a build up to the call for 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.
