Support for Lynne Stewart
New York City, Oct. 15-16, 2006
Paul H. Zulkowitz
Friends & Americans
Throughout American history, a number of attorneys have placed people's needs and human rights before personal desire for wealth and position. Most toil in obscurity, defending the indigent in criminal cases that few lawyers care to touch, others support mothers and children in the least glamorous of civil cases, helping them to remain in their homes and to put food on the table.
A few, like the late Bill Kunstler, rise to fame, devote themselves to people's movements, and live their later days, with no lack of stress, but in the comfort of family and friends.
Rarely does an attorney find herself in a controversy as notorious as that of her best known clients; rarely does a grandmother, suffering from cancer, disbarred from her livelihood, ever-vigilant for the rights of all of us, face the fate of a political prisoner, face the abyss of the American (could it happen here?) gulag.I do not think that I overstate the case when I make the claim that one school-teacher-turned-lawyer has become exemplary in the history of people's movements for her singular dedication to the rule of law, democratic principles, and the human rights of the powerless, poor and reviled.
Lynne Stewart is not now, nor has she ever been, a terrorist.
Lynne Stewart has been tried and convicted for her sheroic devotion to the American Constitution.
Lynne Stewart has been tried and convicted by a government that has relentlessly transferred power from the American people to a seemingly conscienceless coterie of neo-cons, con-artists and enablers (nominal dissenters better known for being nowhere when we need them).
Please read "The Case of Lynne Stewart" by Heidi Boghosian and Ian Head, a publication of the National Lawyers Guild, and visit the website, lynnestewart.org. Please investigate this case further on your own. I think that you will be convinced that Lynne's case is a watershed in our ongoing struggle for human rights.
It is not for Lynne alone that I ask you to stand up, but for yourself and for your friends and for all those who stand up to injustices known and unimaginable. After all, who is going to defend all of us?
Please prioritize your schedule for Sunday, October 15 and Monday, October 16. Please add the following information to your calendar.
