Right-click to save) Lynne Stewart’s Message for Ramsey Clark, January 12, 2013 (Presented by Ralph Poynter)

Lynne Nominated for “Fighter for Justice” awardOctober 21st, 2010Party for Socialism and Liberation October 15, 2010 Lynne Stewart #53504-054 Dear Lynne: I’m writing today to notify you that my organization, the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), is hosting a National Conference on Socialism on Nov. 13-14 in Los Angeles at the University of Southern California campus. We expect many hundreds of people to come from all over the country to attend. The PSL is a revolutionary Marxist organization that struggles for social and economic justice in the United States. As a member group of the ANSWER Coalition, we have actively supported your case and demanded your freedom.
The PSL is presenting you with this award for your decades of struggle and perseverance before and now during your unjust incarceration. Your unwavering defense of the most oppressed and exploited people resonate with working-class and poor people across the country and around the world. We recognize that you should be there with us in November to receive the award, but understand you likely will not due to the backward, unjust system that keeps you locked up without cause. We reject that system and hope that this award will help highlight the continuing struggle for your freedom. The PSL would be honored if you agreed to accept the award and could send us a written acceptance speech for the event. We would read your acceptance to the hundreds who attend and promote it as widely as possible. If you agree, you can send your message to me, Ian Thompson, c/o PSL, 137 N. Virgil Ave, #203, Los Angeles, CA 90004. My phone numbers are 213-251-1025 (office) and 310-490-8595 (cell). In solidarity, Ian Thompson
