Picket supports Brandon Astor Jones

SYDNEY — "Justice for Brandon Astor Jones" was the demand of an October 30 picket outside the US consulate in Martin Place. Jones is a prisoner on death row in Georgia and a regular Green Left Weekly columnist. Organised by the Brandon Astor Jones Defence Committee, the picket condemned the use of the racist death penalty in the US and collected petition signatures to send to the judge hearing Jones' case.

about GLW - the need for alternative media

In these days of growing media concentration, Green Left Weekly is a proudly independent voice committed to human and civil rights, global peace and environmental sustainability, democracy and equality. By printing the news and ideas the mainstream media won't, Green Left Weekly exposes the lies and distortions of the power brokers and helps us to better understand the world around us.

Green Left Weekly, launched in 1990 by progressive activists to present the views excluded by the big business media, is now Australia's leading source of local, national and international news, analysis, and discussion and debate to strengthen the anti-capitalist movements.
