Seize the Hospitals! …But How?

In May of 2023 several Black Rose / Rosa Negra (BRRN) Militants organizing in the healthcare sector attended the Health Autonomy Convergence (HAC) in Durham, North Carolina. This is their collective reflection on and analysis of the event and of the prospects for radical labor organizing in healthcare more generally.

Updates on Alfredo Cospito’s health after ending the hunger strike

Write to Alfredo Cospito! Write to anarchist prisoners!

From La Nemesi, Translated by Act for freedom now!

Alfredo is starting to eat again (although more slowly than he’d like, eh! eh!), he is gradually starting to eat pasta and solids, in line with the suggestions of the dietologist. His overall readings are relatively good. There seems to be a slight improvement in the condition of the foot that had lost all feeling, but according to the doctors it is not possible to make any prognosis for the time being, in any case he is walking a little better.

Update about the health of Alfredo Cospito on the 119th day of hunger strike (Italy, February 15, 2023)

Get Alfredo out of 41 BIS!

From La Nemesi

Today’s news [February 15th] is that Alfredo’s body, now after too many days of hunger strike, has rejected both these two yogurts and the supplements, contrary to mass-media reports: what he is currently taking is only sugar, salt and potassium. This is dramatic news both with regard to the comrade’s possibility of making it to February 24th alive [...] and with regard to his ability to resume feeding himself following a possible revocation of the 41 bis order.

Get Alfredo out of 41BIS

From La Nemesi

...on the 99th day of hunger strike (Italy, January 26, 2023)

Update about the health condition of Alfredo Cospito

From La Nemesi

...on the 85th day of hunger strike (Italy, January 12, 2023)

His health conditions are still quite good, the fact that he has further lost weight… and this time he is losing weight in an important way, week by week, clearly having already consumed what were his fat deposits, now he is slowly moving towards a muscular catabolism, so, this obviously entails – and will entail (because he is still standing well) – an important reduction in physical strength […]. In my opinion, yes we must expect a worsening of his health.

Update about the health condition of Alfredo Cospito

From La Nemesi

...on the 78th day of hunger strike (Italy, January 5, 2023)

All in all, Alfredo’s condition is good. He is holding the hunger strike in an unexpected way, perhaps because he started from a high weight, at the beginning he weighed 115 kg, while today he is 2 kg under the last time I saw him, so we are talking about 83.5 kg. All in all, he is absolutely lucid, well oriented in time and space, he only reports some pressure drops, especially when he gets up, and this is there because he is maintaining a slightly low pressure; however, not particularly, today he had a maximum of 105, a minimum of 70, so all in all a good pressure.

Anarchist Struggle in Rojava

From The Final Straw Radio
