Carlo Tresca (1879-1943)

Carlo Tresca (1879-1943) was a skilled labour agitator, organizer. Tresca was active as the branch secretary of the Italian Railroad Workers' Federation and editor of the newspaper Il Germe (The Seed). Tresca moved to the United States in 1904 to escape a prison term for his activities in Italy. Tresca settled in Philadelphia, where he became the editor of Il Proletario (The Proletarian), the official newspaper of the Italian Socialist Federation (ISF). Tresca helped shift the political orientation of the ISF to syndicalism, and, as his own views became more anarchist, Tresca resigned as editor of Il Proletario and began publshing his own newspaper La Plebe (The Plebs). He would later transfer La Plebe to Pittsburgh and, with it, revolutionary ideas to Italian miners and mill workers in Western Pennsylvania.

Books to Prisoners
Books to Prisoners is an umbrella term for several projects and organizations that mail free reading material to prison inmates. The first Books to Prisoners project was founded in Seattle, Washington, USA in 1973; there are approximately twenty similar projects in the United States and Canada. There is no centralized organization; in keeping with the anarchist cultural roots of the project, each one runs autonomously.
