Free Mumia Abu-Jamal National Day of Action

The Dec. 9 Mumia Action Coalition invites you to: Join us for a National Day of Action on December 9 to FREE MUMIA NOW in coordination with his Philadelphia and New York supporters! We will gather at Oscar Grant Plaza at 4:00 pm, rally, then march to OPD headquarters. Speakers and performers include: Mumia Abu Jamal on tape, Cat Brooks, Alia Sharrief, Ras Ceylon, Cephus Johnson (Uncle Bobby), Pierre LaBossierre, Cristina Gutierrez, Derrick Muhammad, Carole Seligman, Gerald Smith, Michael Sandoval, Ohlone/Costanoan-Esselen Nation. 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!
