Prarie Fire Organizing Committee (PFOC)
An anti-imperialist group that began as the Prairie Fire Distributing Committee in 1974 to distribute Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism,
written by members of the Weather Underground Organization. After its
initial publication, groups sprang up around the country to discuss the
book. PFOC was formally organized in 1976 and was active in the San
Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Chicago until the mid-1990s. Their
work embraced a broad range of issues: international solidarity with
national liberation struggles in Zimbabwe, Namibia, South Africa,
Nicaragua and El Salvador; and with the struggles for self-determination
of Puerto Rican, African-American, Mexicano, and Native peoples inside
U.S. borders; support of political prisoners; opposition to white and
male supremacy and support of women’s and gay liberation.
