FREE MUMIA ABU-JAMAL NOW!
FREE HEP-C MEDS FOR ALL INFECTED PRISONERS!
Friday December 9, Rally Oscar Grant Plaza, 4pm Followed by March to OPD Headquarters
Join us for a National Day of Action on December 9 to FREE MUMIA NOW and FREE HEP-C MEDS
FOR ALL PRISONERS, in coordination with his Philadelphia and New York supporters!
Mumia, a former Black Panther who police tried to execute on the streets of Philadelphia in 1981, was framed by a racist judicial system and sentenced to death. Like other Black Panthers he was an innocent target of the FBI’s repressive COINTELPRO campaign. From death row Mumia, became known as the "voice of the voiceless”, exposing deplorable prison conditions and fighting racist police killings, imperialist wars and capitalist oppression. International protests got him off death row, but now they are trying to kill him by medical neglect. They are withholding life-saving Hep C medication he and 7,000 other Pennsylvania prisoners desperately need. After 35 years in prison, mostly in solitary confinement, it’s time to mobilize to FREE MUMIA and other political prisoners like him now!
A recent US Supreme Court decision, “Williams vs. Pennsylvania” could open the door for Mumia’s freedom but only if this fundamentally racist judicial system is confronted with mass protests like those that got him off death row. This decision ruled that a prosecutor cannot later sit as judge over the same defendant’s appeal. This is exactly what happened in Mumia’s case. On this basis Mumia’s attorneys have filed a new legal action. If successful, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court rulings that upheld his conviction would be overturned. Mumia could then re-appeal the issues of his innocence, jury bias and falsified evidence to win an outright dismissal of charges or get a new trial. Mumia was framed by corrupt cops, prosecutors, and judges for the murder of a policeman that he did not commit!!
Let’s mobilize for Mumia Now!

Comprehending the Bigger Picture………. REQUIRES GREATER ACTION : STRIKE
WE all agree that the mainstream and alternative Media are but a Myriad of Deceptions, Psyops Spins and sidewinding propaganda….right ?
We all agree that Politicians say one thing and do another…..right ????
We all agree we are slaves to a corrupt System ruled by Usurist Bankers and their minions of BAR lawyers supported by their lying media…..right ?
We all agree that basically we are supporting this System by our labors and spending and taxes, right?
So who wants to admit to being a cowardly hypocrite? Afterall we the righteously Oppressed continue to say we will free Mumia Abu Jamal and Leonard Peltier and yet for 30 – 40 years we have NOT….. RIGHT ? I mean come on….if you or I we’re in their shoes, perhaps we’d be thinking, shut the fuck up already and GENERAL STRIKE the System into submission so they have NO CHOICE but to release me…. But then again we are slaves…perhaps first we must free ourselves…by some Spiritual means, if possible ?
Plus we are aware that any action is only as Powerful as that which it Achieves… and that we’ve Witnessed MLKing, and Gandhi and Chavez succeed with lengthy boycotts/Strikes….right ?
