Marilyn Buck made her transition on August 3, 2010 peacefully and surrounded by friends at home in Brooklyn. She had been released from federal prison just a few weeks earlier. A long time friend wrote, “Marilyn Buck dared to dream of a world without racism, without American imperialism… She dared to try to make this dream a reality. For her acts of selfless courage on behalf of victims of American criminal behavior, Marilyn has spent 25 years as a political prisoner of the United States government.”

Seth Newton was inspired to create this papercut a couple days after the news.
You can also read Marilyn's own words on our "Prisons and Poppies" t-shirt.

Lolita Lebron passed on Aug 1, 2010 in San Juan, Puerto Rico at age 90. Widely known as the mother of the Puerto Rican independence movement, Lebron is most remembered for leading an attack on the U.S. Capitol in 1954. She unfurled a Puerto Rican flag and shouted, "Que viva Puerto Rico libre!" just before she and three others brandished their weapons. No one was killed. She served 25 years in prison and continued her activism for Puerto Rican independence, women and children's rights, and a more equitable economic system throughout her life.

Comandante Ramona died near San Cristóbal, Mexico Jan 6, 2006. She was an officer of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN), a revolutionary indigenous autonomist organization in Chiapas. Choking back his tears, Subcomandante Marcos announced, “Comandanta Ramona died yesterday… The world has lost one of those women it requires. Mexico has lost one of the combative women it needs and we, we have lost a piece of our heart.”
