Strategy?” gave thumbs down to the Keystone XL pipeline stating that “We oppose export

Eighty-Five Years Old: Ramsey Clark A Life Celebrated
with
Ramsey Clark, Former U.S. Attorney General, intl. human rights activist
Mumia Abu-Jamal, journalist, activist, political prisoner in tribute to Ramsey Clark said,
“…when the bombs were being readied for Afghanistan and the White House was
swearing vengeance, who dared to stage rallies, predicting disaster? And, in response
to Abu Ghraib, Palestine, drone strikes and wild Islamophobia, fueled by fear and
ignorance who opposed these developments at every step?
And as capitalism sent jobs abroad, hollowing out the middle class, causing dystopian
heels in inner cities, who spoke out against the rapacious greed of Wall Street and the
resultant prison industrial complex and the death industry of Death Row? It was Ramsey
Clark and the organization he helped found in two small rooms of his law office, the
International Action Center (IAC) 20 years ago.
That he took some of the toughest cases in the nation and with the IAC, fought some
of the toughest battles against the might of the Empire is telling and high tribute.
