Statement from Mumia Abu-Jamal in support of the May 7th rally at the Theater at Madison Square Garden

All out for 7th May! (Todo poder para la siete de Mayo)

What have we learned from the whitewash of the Diallo murder? The lesson sent to the world entire was that the courts of this land are still no place for Black justice, and that Black life remains an overwhelmingly cheap commodity.

When the courts have become halls of injustice, the people must fight for justice in the streets! I welcome you all for our mass gathering on May 7th, for if justice can’t come from the courts, it must come from the people!

I welcome you again, and I think you!

Ona move! Long live John Africa! Abolish the racist death penalty!

Mumia Abu-Jamal
