Introduction to Issue 2

4strugglemag II, here it is. This issue focuses on three topics. We continue to analyze and critique the U.S. war and occupation of Iraq and the accompanying growing police state in the U.S. Several articles tie in the prisoner abuse going on in Iraq with the prisons in America. Second, 4strugglemag takes a hard look at elections in the U.S., and offers advice for the presidential race. Third, being a summer release, we are including a section on “Black August.” This grassroots month-long commemoration of the New African struggle for justice and liberation is hailed and explained.

We welcome further discussion and analysis. Understanding is important, but taking action in support of your thoughts and beliefs is key. 4strugglemag supports and encourages participation in all anti-war resistance. We especially urge people to let the government, the country, and the world know that Bush’s wars and police state are opposed by millions, by demonstrating at the Republican and Democrat conventions this summer.

The next issue will be out in December after the U.S. elections. In the meantime we’ll keep on struggling—hope you do too.
