Chris Kinder
(1944-2025)

Dear readers,

We are very sad to announce the death of Chris Kinder on April 14, 2025. He was 81 years old. The cause of death was severe double pneumonia. Chris has been writing for Socialist Viewpoint over the past 17 years. He was the organizer of the Labor Action Committee to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Chris had an amazing knowledge of history. More importantly, he could recall the facts and details and bring the lessons learned into today’s world of capitalist upheaval and mayhem—and how best to fight it.

His life was a true contribution to the future of humanity. He will be sorely missed. —The Editors
