Contact seller5-star sellerThe final of only six published issues of the newspaper issued by the Motor City Labor Coalition, a Marxist-Leninist group that formed in Detroit in late 1970 by activists involved with the Ad Hoc Action Group led by Sheila Murphy and People Against Racism led by Frank Joyce. The group positioned itself as a white corollary to t…he League of Revolutionary Black Workers (LRBW) and sought to organize white workers in solidarity with black workers' struggles while pursuing a broader anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist agenda rooted in Marxist ideology. It supported labor organizing, anti-war efforts, community and cultural work, and opposition to police brutality, especially its campaign against STRESS (Stop Robberies, Enjoy Safe Streets), the controversial Detroit police unit accused of targeting and killing young black men through entrapment and violence. This issue features articles on and coverage of the MCLL's campaign against STRESS, protests against the Vietnam War, labor organizing, child care, etc. Tabloid format printed in blue & black on newsprint, 12 p., illus. Mailing label and stamp to front cover, else a near fine copy.
