WE HAVE NOT BEEN MOVED
Resisting Racism and Militarism in 21st Century America
EDITED BY ELIZABETH ‘BETITA’ MARTÍNEZ, MANDY CARTER, AND MATT MEYER • INTRODUCTION BY CORNEL WEST AFTERPOEMS BY ALICE WALKER AND SONIA SANCHEZ “The essays in We Have Not Been Moved provide us with urgently needed analytical frameworks and on-the-ground strategies for challenging structural injustice.” —Angela Y. Davis, author, activist, and professor emerita, History of Consciousness, UC Santa Cruz
We Have Not Been Moved is a compendium addressing the two leading pillars of U.S. Empire. Inspired by the work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., this book recognizes that—for the most part—the traditional peace movement has not been moved far beyond the half-century old call for a deepening critique of its own prejudices. While reviewing the major points of intersection between white supremacy and the war machine through both historic and contemporary articles from a diverse range of scholars and activists, the editors emphasize what needs to be done now to move forward for lasting social change. Produced in collaboration with the War Resisters League, the book also examines the strategic and tactic possibilities of radical transformation through revolutionary nonviolence.

EDITED BY MATT MEYER FOREWORD BY ADOLFO PEREZ ESQUIVEL AFTERWORDS BY ASHANTI ALSTON AND LYNNE STEWART Let Freedom Ring presents a two-decade sweep of essays, analyses, histories, interviews, resolutions, People’s Tribunal verdicts, and poems by and about the scores of U.S. political prisoners and the campaigns to safeguard their rights and secure their freedom. In addition to an extensive section on the campaign to free death-row journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal, represented here are the radical movements that have most challenged the U.S. empire from within: Black Panthers and other Black liberation fighters, Puerto Rican independentistas, Indigenous sovereignty activists, white anti-imperialists, environmental and animal rights militants, Arab and Muslim activists, Iraq war resisters, and others.

This invaluable resource guide offers inspiring stories of the creative, and sometimes winning, strategies to bring them home.
