Bronx Organizations Launch Defense Week
NEW YORK.—A special defense week to build a mass campaign to fight for the immediate release of Gonshak, Morrison, Metz and other unemployed workers arrested for demanding relief was decided on at a conference in the Bronx called by the Middle Bronx Unemployed Council.
The defense movement will also protest the refusal of the Home Relief Bureau to pay rent and the police brutality against workers who protest.
A torchlight parade Friday June 16 in the Bronx will be the first step in the defense movement. The parade will start from Wilkins and Intervale Avenue and end up at Tremont and So. Boulevard. The conference was attended by delegates from block committees, local unions, International Labor Defense, Women's Councils, International Workers Order, and others.
