East Side Freedom Library

ESFL beloved friend and musician Emmett Doyle:

Yesterday the federal government arrested and indicted 15 people, many of them union activists, on conspiracy charges over the protests and massive strike against ICE in Minnesota last winter. Two of those indicted had just returned from the Labor Notes Conference, where Emmett Doyle’s prize-winning song “Hold the Line” was also sung (see box). The Minnesota 15 include union carpenters, electricians, teachers, university staff, and nursing home workers. Donate here to support their legal defense. —Editors.

'Part elegy, part archival detective story, and part visual poem, Without Terminus is a philosophically rigorous and deeply moving text that takes us beyond the archive of loss.' (Cover copy. Without Terminus, by chaun webster, Graywolf Press, 2026.)
