People’s World Amistad Awards, Sat., Dec. 13
by CT People’s World Committee
People’s World is honored to present the Amistad Award to four wonderful allies and working-class champions. Together they represent the kind of unity, solidarity and vision needed to build a movement to defend our rights against vicious corporate assault, and transform our country to put people, peace and planet before profits.
