Around the country a Summer of Resistance is being organized to fight for justice and win a new trial for Mumia Abu-Jamal. This is a fight against police terror, abuse and racism. It's time to abolish the death penalty and provide people with jobs, education and housing - not prisons! With the eyes of the world on L.A. for the convention, we can show we won't take it anymore. Join this fight for freedom and justice.  

Shaka Sankofa, also known as Gary Graham, an innocent man, was executed on June 22 in Texas, but his contributions to the movement for social justice, and spirit lives on in the struggle to end the death penalty and win a new and fair trial for Mumia. In the spirit of Shaka Sankofa, build a Summer of Resistance !

Busses to LA from San Francisco: Sun. Aug. 13 Mass March for Mumia at DNC

Get your bus tickets NOW! Join the buses to Los Angeles for the Sunday, Aug. 13 Mass March for Mumia at the Democratic Convention Buses leave San Francisco Saturday night the 12th and return late Sunday night the 13th. Tickets are selling out fast...call the IAC at (415) 821-6545

This is a reminder about the very important upcoming mass demonstration on August 13th at the Democratic National Convention to stop the execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal and to end the death penalty.

As you most likely know, Mumia's case is at a very critical stage. We must recognize that Mumia could very well face execution in the coming year. Shaka Sankofa, formerly known as Gary Graham, was executed on June 22nd because the US  government in collusion with the state of Texas managed to keep Shaka's case from public awareness. WE MUST NOT LET THIS HAPPEN TO MUMIA.

The whole world will be watching Los Angeles during the democratic  convention so we must use this venue to show the tremendous support for a new trial for Mumia and for ending the death penalty.

We have chartered buses from the bay area. The SF buses will be leaving on August 12th at 11:30 and returning late on Sunday August 13th. If you are interested in being part of this major action and want to get on the bus, please call (415) 821-6545.

The SF bus will leave from the IAC office at 21st and Mission. The march starts at noon on August 13th at Pershing Square. The rally will be at 4 PM near the Staples Center. The bus will pick people up at the end of the rally near the rally site. Everyone must board by 6 PM sharp.

Bus tickets are $40.00 or $30 - $35.00 for people on fixed incomes or students. The march starts at noon on August 13th at Pershing Square. The rally will be at 4 PM near the Staples Center and 11th and Figueroa Streets.

Please join us for this critical action. Mumia is all of us.

STOP THE EXECUTION!   NEW TRIAL NOW ! STOP POLICE TERROR! SHUTDOWN THE PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX ! END THE RACIST DEATH PENALTY !
