From Prairieland defendant Maricela Rueda greetings yesterday's Brooklyn united front rally to Free the Prairieland defendants, Defend anti-ICE protesters, Fight government repression of the left:
"Do you hear us? Are you with us?
Let me tell you my story
as it was intended,
that ends with the words that echo in my mind
as I sit isolated in a single cell,
but as long as you struggle with us
we cannot be forgotten,
they cannot succeed ,
from the belly of this beast we speak.
The precedent set federally must be fought
and to avoid the example Texas seeks to set
for other states
we need your eyes, ears and support
to counter this campaign of terror
meant to attack all of our communities."
