<font size=4><b>The Bruce Seidel* Red Star Retirement Fund donates to
Marilyn Buck<br>
</b></font><font size=3> <br>
When former George Jackson Brigade (GJB) member and political prisoner
Mark Cook was released from prison in 2000, after having survived 24
years behind bars, Seattle’s progressive community raised nearly $8,000
in cash for him. They were also able to give him a car which he drove for
years, and got him the job that he still works at today.<br>
<br>
Now Mark wants to give some of his good fortune to other progressive
political prisoners who are being released from prison. Most of these men
and women have served twenty, thirty, and even 40 years or more on the
inside.<br>
<br>
The Bruce Seidel Red Star Retirement Fund is a small step toward
providing financial help to those comrades coming out of prison. Mark has
placed $10,000 into escrow. Another former GJB member has donated $3,000
to the fund. This money will initially be paid out to political prisoners
and POWs being released at a rate of $100 for every year they've been
confined. $2,000 was donated March 13th at the Sparks Fly event in
Oakland supporting the upcoming release of political prisoner Marilyn
Buck. Several thousand dollars more were also raised for Marilyn at
Sparks Fly. You can also support Marilyn Buck’s release

HERE</a> </b>- donate and indicate in "other" that it is for
Marilyn Buck.<br>
<br>
If the money in the Bruce Seidel release fund also increases, so too will
the amount paid out to the comrades being released. The fund is overseen
by former imprisoned comrades of the George Jackson Brigade, including Ed
Mead, Mark Cook, Bo Brown, and Janine Bertram. <br>
