In preparation for his tour, M-1 wrote a piece for the San Francisco Bay View detailing his experience abroad. Here is an excerpt from M-1’s piece:

“You may have heard me say, ‘I work for the people; the streets are my office.’” M-1 wrote. “Well, my recent mission to Palestine was a testament to that statement. Through the Existence is Resistance organization, I bore witness to a very moving and eye-opening experience. As a man-at-arms in an African Liberation Movement in the U.S. which is currently in the process of re-organizing and re-inventing itself in these times, I see the role of international solidarity critically important to our future world view.”

M-1’s speaking tour will benefit SF Bay View and Block Report Radio.
