USPCN is sad to announce the passing of Mike Siviwe Elliott, lifelong organizer and fighter for justice. Mike was politicized on the streets of Detroit, living through the Black rebellion of the 60s, where he witnessed the organizing and intense repression against the Black Panther Party.
He went on to become an auto worker and union organizer in the Detroit auto plants, where he was introduced by Arab colleagues to the Palestinian liberation movement.
We will never forget Mike's unwavering commitment to the Rasmea defense campaign, traveling with us from Chicago to Detroit for each and every court date, and working tirelessly in Chicago to build true cross-community solidarity between Black and Arab communities in support of Rasmea.
Mike was a leader in the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression's camapaign for an all-elected Civilian Police Accountability Council, and a tireless fighter for justice for all oppressed people, with a deep commitment to international solidarity, which he practiced with every waking breath.
We will miss him dearly. Rest in Power, Mike Siviwe Elliott!
