PLZ READ IF YOU PURCHASED SOMETHING OFF THE OJORE REGISTRY

NYC ABC November 30, 2009

Those of you who have already participated and are helping Ojore Lutalo
transition to his new home on the outside, thank you. Ojore will
appreciate it and more importantly, you are picking up where so many
so-called revolutionaries have failed by supporting the fighters of
yesterday and today and making it possible for the struggle to 
survive to tomorrow.

*Unfortunately we made a mistake on the apartment # for Ojore 
Lutalo's new address. For that reason some items were returned to Target, 
refunded, and put back on the registry. The  problem has been fixed and will not 
affect everyone's orders-- other orders are on their way to him and should 
arrive successfully.

So, if you have purchased items and you receive an email from Target
saying that you have been refunded, please go ahead and purchase the 
items
again as soon as you can. Target is protecting your privacy so we don't
have the email addresses for who bought what unless you tell us.

If someone else has beat you to buying what you bought before, please
consider buying something else or donating the money to Ojore. Scroll 
down
for a refresher on what to do and why.

If you haven't yet purchased items for Ojore,or donated money, don't
delay! Scroll down for more info!

Please contact us with any questions, concerns, updates, etc. Again, we
apologize for the mistake and the inconvenience.

Love and Solidarity,

REPOST FAR AND WIDE:

OJORE HAS MOVED IN

NOW IS THE TIME TO HELP WITH THE REMAINING ITEMS

HELP ex-POW OJORE LUTALO MAKE A NEW HOME ON THE OUTSIDE

In Northern Ireland, despite compromises and setbacks to the
revolutionary tradition, there is still an organization called, Teach
na Failte (Welcome Home), an ex-POWs organization for former
republican socialist prisoners that has helped with housing,
employment, and the many difficult transitions that prisoners, and
especially POWs, face when finally released to the minimum custody
here on the outside.

Unfortunately there is no such organization for New Afrikan and/or
Anarchist Prisoners of War held in the US. We, the movement
community, are the only support they have.

For anyone who aligns themselves with New Afrikan struggle,
Anarchism, anti-imperialism, or any of the above, Ojore Lutalo is a
warrior and comrade who has made conscious sacrifices and paid with
his freedom without compromise or regret.

Now they have finally released him, as he's served the maximum time
of his sentence and then some.

Now, more than ever, it is time to support him.

Help him put together his new home on the outside.

Those of you who have already purchased so many of the requested
items, thank you. We're still looking for help on  the chest of drawers
($109.99) and the dining set ($259.99). If you can afford one of these
items, please don't hesitate— now is the time.

Anarchist, New Afrikan political prisoner Ojore Lutalo was recently
released from prison. He served 26 years, most of it in isolation, or
"the hole," all in the service of revolutionary struggle. The NYC
branch of the Anarchist Black Cross Federation has set up a gift
registry to insure that of the challenges of shifting from prisoner
to civilian, having basic apartment furnishings is not among them.
New Afrikan Anarchist Political Prisoner, Ojore N. Lutalo, is out
after 26 years of imprisonment!

Ojore Lutalo was locked down in Trenton, New Jersey, for actions
carried out in the fight for Black Liberation. In Ojore's own words,
he is, "serving a parole violation sentence (we received 14 to 17
years) stemming from a 1977 conviction for expropriating monies from
a capitalist state bank (in order to finance our activities) and
engaging the police in a gun battle in December 1975 in order to
effect our departure from the bank, and to ensure success of the
military operation..." "After my parole violation sentence terminated
in December 1987, I started serving a forty year sentence with a
twenty year parole ineligibility (I was paroled in 1980, and I have
been back in captivity since April 20, 1982) that I have received in
1982 for having a gun-fight with a drug dealer. The overall strategy
of assaulting a drug dealer is to secure monies to finance one's
activities, and to rid the oppressed communities of drug dealers."

Ojore was originally arrested with New Afrikan prisoner of war Kojo
Bomani Sababu, and was struggling with comrade Andaliwa Clark.
Andaliwa was killed in action within the confines of New Jersey's
infamous Trenton State Prison after he shot two of the prison's
security guards in the repressive Management Control Unit (M.C.U.) on
January 19th, 1976 when they tried to stop him from escaping from
captivity. Ojore was a comrade of the late Kuwasi Balagoon, a New 
Afrikan
anarchist prisoner of war, and states, "I've been involved in the
struggle, the war against the fascist state since 1970. I've been an
anarchist since 1975 without any regrets. Prior to my involvement in
the struggle, I was just another apolitical lumpen (bandit) here in
Amerika." "I was... influenced and highly motivated by the Black
Liberation Army (B.L.A.) here in Amerika.
