This is an archive of the former website of the Maoist Internationalist Movement, which was run by the now defunct Maoist Internationalist Party - Amerika. The MIM now consists of many independent cells, many of which have their own indendendent organs both online and off. MIM(Prisons) serves these documents as a service to and reference for the anti-imperialist movement worldwide.
The below was our events listed for Spring semester 2001. Since then FORAIL has not been an active group at BU, therefore
there are no upcoming events at this time. However, there is an active RAIL chapter in the area, so please contact railbos@mim.org for more info.
