More about the camp and the group can be found at https://appalachiaresist.wordpress.com/

Last night prisoners took over Holman prison in Alabama. At around
midnight a fight between inmates escalated to include guards and even
the warden. Staff fled, and the rioting prisoners have taken over
general population, lighting guard towers on fire and barricading the
doors.
News and video, here:
http://www.al.com/news/birmingham/index.ssf/2016/03/reported_riot_fires_at_holman.html
According to rumors, the incident began when an officer responded to a
fight between two prisoners with excessive force and was stabbed in
response. "Then they brought the warden down and the warden got to
talking crazy so they ended up stabbing the warden, and then after that
all the officers ran up out of the institution, that was like 12:00,
1:00 this morning."
The warden and officer's injuries were not fatal. There are videos
circulating on social media of prisoners burning the control towers and
opening all doors. âWe're tired of this shit, there's only one way to
deal with it: tear the prison downâ one of the participants stated.
At around 2 am the riot squad and police arrived. They said they were
waiting on daylight to move and try to restore control of the facility.
At this time, people haven't heard from the occupied portion of the
prison for a few hours, but it seems the authorities have not moved in,
either. Friends and family of prisoners in Holman are asking that people
pray for their loved ones.
Holman's capacity is 1002 prisoners, but it also has a segregation unit
and death row, which are still under the prison's control. Prisoners in
segregation have not received their breakfast meal, four hours after it
is normally distributed. General population at Holman consists of four
open space dormitories, housing 114 people each, plus a 200 person
annex, so there may be between 450 - 650 prisoners involved in the uprising.
Alabama DOC has been increasingly unstable in recent months, incidents
of violence within the institutions have been stacking up, the federal
government was on the verge of taking over the system due to poor
management and budgetary shortfalls last year.

Out of the Woods - Show #310 - 3-19-16
March 12, 2016, 8:27 p.m.
This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length.
Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Kate MacLeod, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul

Broke On Purpose: Fight to Fund Our Futures-Town Hall
March 11, 2016, 10:43 p.m.
The Chicago Teachers Solidarity Campaign has announced that on April 1 there will be a major action to "Shut Down the City" to send a message to the Financial community that has backed the anti-worker, anti-child efforts of Mayor Emanuel and Governor Rauner that they intend to fight back.
Illinois has been held hostage by Gov. Rauner, Republican millionaire sociopath (Karen Lewis comments on that description), who has refused to agree to a State budget unless the legislature agrees to destroy collective bargaining for state workers, slash their salary and diminish their ability to provide the services they are employed to provide to residents of Illinois. Rauner claims that the State is broke and the cuts and labor rights changes he demands will allow him to "turn around" the financial problems; the "State is Broke", he claims, but it is clear that it is "Broke on Purpose".
Gov. Rauner has in effect confiscated money from the poorest members of Illinois and transferred it to his wealthy friends in the financial shake down industry that want access to the tax money funding public education.
The speakers give the details from each of the areas they represent: high school, college, disability rights, transport and public service workers, child and home care, and education, with Karen Lewis a member of CORE and the President of the Chicago Teachers Union speaking last. It was the Caucus of Radical Educators which won leadership of the CTU and moved it from a passive observer of the educational deform that the Financial class was directing their agents to impose, to one of class analysis, community organizing and unified citizen fight back.
South side Chicago State University, which has played a key role in enabling access to higher education for working class Blacks, is on the verge of closing its doors due to the artificial funding crisis. Northeastern Illinois University, located on the north side, serving a working class population has, announced furloughs uncertain it will be open next Fall.
Protecting Reproductive Rights; Ain't I a Woman

Women Don t Intend To Fall In Any More Of Your TRAPs
with
Andrew Beck, attorney, ACLU Reproductive Rights Project
Last week women fought to climb out of another TRAP dug for them on their long road for reproductive health and the control of their bodies. The deepest of TRAPs (Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers), laws that are cloaked in the deceptive language of women s health, but which actually put women at risk, by shutting down health centers where women can get safe and legal abortions was just argued at the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court case was the most important abortion case in decades. Inside the court, the justices asked how the law, HB2, will actually help Texas women. Meanwhile, outside advocates gathered to demonstrate their support for abortion access, for every woman in every state. Shifts in the power structure of Congress have led to promises to strip away access to reproductive health care, especially abortion. Laws that make it difficult if not impossible for a woman to get an abortion if she needs one, particularly if she is poor, are increasing at an alarming pace.
At this critical time, we will reveal whose behind the TRAPs, and what we can expect from the Supreme Court in the wake of this latest anti-abortion case, and most importantly on protecting access to affordable contraception, and a woman's ability to make personal, private decisions about pregnancy and abortion, and fighting pregnancy discrimination.

Ain t I a Woman
featuring critically acclaimed actress Vinnie Burrows
In the town of Akron, Ohio in 1851, an African American woman delivered a moving speech at the Womens Convention that would be remembered for its rawness, authenticity, and powerful message and holds as much relevance today as it did then. Sojourner Truth spoke to the Women's Convention about her experiences and tribulations as not only a woman in that day s society but as a Black woman. She established a sense of identity as a victim of discrimination by describing how she faced prejudices as a Black person and as a woman in order to incite an emotional response in her audience and invited her audience, mostly women suffering from their own forms of discrimination, to realize the injustices of which they too are victims.
