</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=2>Long time New Afrikan
Anarchist Political Prisoner, Ojore N. Lutalo is set to max out after 26
years of imprisonment at New Jersey State Prison. While his exact release
date is still not finalized, it will most likely be late November or
early December. The NJ DOC website has his max out date as December 25th.
Ojore, with the help of a lawyer, is in the process of working to
get his good time/work credits restored, a result of his victory in
the NJ Superior Court in 2007, which overturned a charge the prison
convicted him of in 2005. This charge/conviction took away around a year
of good time/work credits. This process is still ongoing and we will
update people with any changes to his max out date<br>
<br>
In the meantime, the Anarchist Black Cross Federation (ABCF) is
initiating a fundraising drive to support Ojore, once he is released, in
order for him to transition back to the streets. Money is needed to help
Ojore secure housing, food and clothing. This financial assistance will
allow Ojore to make the transition more smoothly, knowing that money and
housing isn't an immediate pressing matter, giving him the needed time to
readjust to the streets ,that he hasn't seen or experienced since 1982.
<br>
<br>
As many former prisoners and their supporters know, coming back home
after a doing a long stretch in prison is difficult and without a support
base it will be even more difficult. The ABCF, anarchists and many PP/POW
activists who have maintained contact and supported Ojore over the years,
have benefited immensely from the example that he's set as what it means
to be a revolutionary. His untiring advice/criticism to us has helped
many of us and our organizations grow politically and deepen, not only
our commitment to the struggle to free political prisoners and prisoners
of war, but to that of building a revolutionary movement<br>
<br>
<b>It's our revolutionary duty ensure Ojore has all the support he
needs when hits the streets!<br>
</b> <br>
We encourage all activists to organize fundraisers or donate whatever
they can towards Ojore's release fund.<br>
All funds, by check or money order, payable to TIM FASNACHT, can be sent

bio of Ojore........<br>
<br>
Ojore Lutalo is 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 political 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 term 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 P.O.W. Kojo Bomani Sababu, and was struggling
with comrade Andaliwa Clark up until the point that Andaliwa was killed
in action within the confines of New Jersey's infamous Trenton State
Prison after he shot two 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 P.O.W. "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. These sisters and
brothers were New Afrikans just like me from the streets of the ghettos
who took the initiative militarily, to start assassinating members of the
state's security forces who were murdering black people in our
communities. From the inception of all revolutions, I feel that the
people need armed combat units to check state sponsored acts of terrorism
by the government's security forces. In addition, I feel that these armed
combat units are necessary to show the people that fascist acts of
state-sponsored terrorism... will be responded to militarily. In 1975 I
became disillusioned with Marxism and became an anarchist (thanks to
Kuwasi Balagoon) due to the inactiveness and ineffectiveness of Marxism
in our communities along with repressive bureaucracy that comes with
Marxism. People aren't going to commit themselves to a life and death
struggle just because of grand ideas someone might have floating around
in their heads. I feel people will commit themselves to a struggle if
they can see progress being made similar to the progress of anarchist
collectives in Spain during the era of the fascist Bahamonde..."
