NY actions demand,
‘Free Oscar López now!’
Militant/Ellen Brickley
NEW YORK — Dozens of people joined an energetic rally and petitioning
effort in Jackson Heights, Queens, Aug. 30 to build support for the
fight to free Puerto Rican independence fighter Oscar López, framed up
on charges of “seditious conspiracy.” It was organized by 34 Mujeres NYC
x Oscar, which holds a 34-minute protest — one minute for each year
López has spent in U.S. prisons — on the last Sunday of every month in
neighborhoods around the city. Many people stopped and took a flier. Two
young women looked López up on their phones, signed the petition and
left chanting, “Free him now!”
