![Assata Shakur: clips from her 1980 address to the people after her escape from prison](images/thumbnails/MP3.jpg)
This program is an edited version of her address to the people after she escaped. She begins the recording by stating that she loves everyone and encourages everyone to continue to struggle for our liberation. Assata talks about how Black people are constantly under attack by the poor school system, infiltration of drugs, welfare system, police state, etc. She talks about the necessity for a Black Nation and how Black women must play a key role in the struggle for liberation. She says that they are the most closely related to the struggle because of their position in White American society. Assata talks about the direction of the US government and how it is continually becoming more racist and fascist; how the government sees Black peoples as expendable and just "a thorn in their side."

Support of sister Assata is support of the black liberation movement. There can be no seperation, nor will we allow any. Assata belongs to black people and we oppose all attempts to confuse this very basic fact. Supporting her does not stand above politics, it is an example of ones politics in actual practice.
