Why you should become an organizer for the Madison Square Garden event on Sunday, May 7th

The upcoming Day for Mumia at Madison Square Garden Theatre on Sunday, May 7th is one of many important actions that are being undertaken on an emergency basis to win broad support for winning a new trial for Mumia Abu-Jamal.

We believe the May 7th event has far-reaching potential to help the Mumia movement reach a new level of recognition. Mumia's name needs to quickly become a household word in working class communities.

The most powerful factor that can win a new trial, the one capable of making the government step back from this "fast track" execution, is the organized force of millions of outraged people from every community. This is the urgent task of our movement.

Right now, however, millions of potential supporters barely know of Mumia and the facts of the case that clearly cry out for a new trial. All of our demonstrations and militant actions have been the cornerstone of this burgeoning movement.

But we must quickly employ additional tactics that exponentially increase awareness.

This is the primary motivation for the May 7th event at the Garden. The Garden is a world-recognized venue. A large cross section of notable personalities, celebrities, civil rights and women's rights leaders, literary figures and elected officials are coming together at the Garden on May 7th . This visibility will serve as a powerful tool to receive mass media attention and to popularly communicate the message of Mumia's case to millions of people who are not yet engaged in this battle for justice.

No one event will win a new trial for Mumia but the May 7th rally inside Madison Square Garden will be a qualitative step forward to reaching beyond the already existing activist movement.

Hundreds of grassroots organizers will be working to build the event at the Garden. Those fighting rampant police brutality, racism and the death penalty understand that Mumia's case can be signal turning point and a catalyst for a new movement.

Thousands of people from around the country will be traveling to New York to participate.

We urge all those attending the February 19 conference to energetically organize for this activity. Become a volunteer, set up a May 7th organizing center in your college, high school, union or community group. Help distribute leaflets and sell blocks of tickets.

This will be an exciting next two months. There is a great deal of work to be done. The whole world is watching to see whether the progressive forces in the United States can find the will, determination and the tactical creativity to reach the broad public in a way that validates that the power--real power--is in the people.
