Rendell lifted the moratorium he imposed on the PA Board of Probation and Parole in conjunction with the Department of Corrections (DOC) to bring to a complete halt all prisoner releases, parole eligible prisoners at SCI Greene, located in southwestern Pennsylvania, who fall under the classification of violent offenders are still feeling the ramifications of Governor Rendell’s actions.

BACKGROUND:

The Zapatistas are organizing a peaceful and civil movement to overthrow

by Kate Zaidan and Nava Et Shalom

Like any international solidarity organizing, Palestine solidarity activists face the challenge of making our struggle relevant to those who are not personally touched by the occupation.
