Statement by 25 female prisoners from WEF protests

Received 9:04 p.m. Sunday 3 February 2002

Statement by 25 female prisoners:

"Our spirits are high despite the pepper spray, handcuffs, and billy clubs. We are here in solidarity with victims of imperialism, those being bombed, those being detained and targeted since 9-11, everyone in American prisons, and all those who suffer from neoliberal economic policies. We are a fearless generation. We will win. Our unity makes us strong.

"Another world is possible; we'll settle for nothing else."
