AWOL is a workshop of artists, activists and revolutionaries. If you're poor, working class, of color, a woman or otherwise oppressed, you resist this corrupt system every day. We provide a space for marginalized voices to be heard, a place to resist and grow through the exposure of the heinous truths of this dehumanizing system, as well as hope for the new world we will create. The views expressed here are not necessarily those of the organizations that funded the mag. We know what we are putting forth is controversial; it's supposed to be. These are the raw voices of oppressed people who are, literally and figuratively, under the gun.
AWOL Magazine is a place for revolutionary dialogue, growth, discussion, support, creation. AWOL stands in direct opposition to racism, class-ism, sexism, homophobia and heterosexism, imperialism, militarism, or any of those isms, and schisms. Art, music or writings submitted to AWOL should not have any derogatory or degrading language in it. This system is the real offense, and it only uses these divisions to keep us weak.

Greetings AWOL, my good friends and comrades here in Philly!
Thanks for adding us. Your support is much appreciated. I am still working to publicize these newly discovered crime scene photos (viewed at Abu-Jamal-News.com)?
I have been personally contacting every media outlet I could find and still the mainstream media has completely ignored the story. Many independent media outlets have covered it, but the only independent outlet that has actually published one of the photos is the national Black newspaper, The SF Bay View (click here).
This is just the latest episode in a long history of corporate media bias (and arguably racism) towards Mumia and other political prisoners.
SNAG (Seventh Native American Generation) teaches media to young Nativz & we publish a magazine & music CD each year.
For the next 6 months, we're fundraising for our next issue: $5,000. It sounds like a lot, but if you & each of your friendz donate just $1, we can all make it happen & promote Native commUNITY & sustainability!

Indigenous Peoples Message to the U.S. antiwar movement
We call on the U.S. antiwar movement to acknowledge that the very establishment of the United States and it's expansion was built on the genocide against the First Nations/Indigenous Peoples of the continent, along with the enslavement of African peoples.
Iraq (and the over 170 countries that have a presence of U.S. military) is just a continuation of "Manifest Destiny" which cleared the continent for settler colonization. Thus it's not a "mistake" of U.S. policy, but is at the core of the very foundation of the U.S. from it's beginnings continuing thru to today.
Thus, we say that the antiwar mobilizations that are taking place in Autumn 2007 (Sept 15, Sept 29, Oct 27 et. al) should/must
1)have an indigenous person opening the events ackowledging the above history and it's continuation into the present day and how U.S. history is linked to today's war(s).
2)that there be an organized and visible collective presence of contingents focused on indigenous peoples concerns at the mobilizations along with that presence being also on the websites, press releases, media spokespeople, et. al of these groups/mobilizations.
3)that the indigenous names of cities/towns in the various indigenous languages be acknowledged by also being mentioned to remind people of the indigenous origins of this land (for example "Manatay" for what is now called Manhattan ) along with the peoples (for example: Lenape (& others)) and the original languages.
