Free Mumia Abu-Jamal!
Mumia Abu-Jamal is a Black political
prisoner who has been imprisoned for over two decades for a crime he did
not commit. Accused of killing a
Philadelphia police officer, Mumia’s only real “crime” was being a
revolutionary and an articulate voice against racism and police brutality.
We have played an important
role in initiating broad based coalitions to campaign on his behalf, and
continue to play a leading role in his defense. We believe that Mumia has
been framed by the state due to his political activities and views, and
that his case highlights the racism and injustice prevalent in the American
so called justice system. We urge all of our readers and supporters to join
us in this very important fight!

 Michael Moore
Apologizes for Mumia Remark: Author/director
Michael Moore stopped at Philadelphia’s Temple University in late October
to address a crowd of several thousand students while on tour, stumping for
“lesser-evil,” pro-war John Kerry. Moore opened by inviting to the stage
and paying homage to the mother of the first National Guardsman killed in a
U.S. war since 1945. The overwhelmingly antiwar crowd responded with
applause as the honoree graciously and proudly signaled her appreciation.
She was followed by a Marine who had recently returned from Iraq. The
disillusioned soldier reported on the horrors perpetuated by the U.S.
military on the Iraqi people. He too was enthusiastically welcomed. continued

Philadelphia police/prosecution frame-up trial in 1982, has been on
Pennsylvania’s death row for 22 years. continued
The NAACP Calls for a New Trial for Mumia: The NAACP national convention,
meeting in Philadelphia last month, devoted a large part of its sessions to
hoopla in support of the Democrats and presidential candidate John
Kerry. At the same time, however,
the convention succeeded in passing an important resolution that reaffirmed
the organization’s opposition to the death penalty and—for the first time
in its history—called for a new trial for journalist and innocent death-row
prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal. The resolution was approved on July 15 with only
one dissenting vote. continued
