ENCIRCLE THE OAKLAND FEDERAL BUILDING TO SAVE THE LIFE OF MUMIA ABU-JAMAL SAT. DEC. 11^TH, 1999, 2-4 PM 13th and Clay Streets, downtown Oakland, near 12th St. BART In honor of international human rights day. Mumia's case is now in its final phase of appeal to the federal courts. The federal court is now considering the crucial question of how it will interpret the new federal pro-death penalty law in terms of whether it will hear any evidence, or will simply rubber stamp the Pennsylvania courts' decision which threw out all of the new evidence exonerating Mumia. If the court decides not to hear the truth in Mumia's case, not only will Mumia face near certain death, but it will mark the beginning of a government sanctioned killing frenzy as the nation's hundreds of death row inmates are slaughtered, regardless of constitutional rights. This is THE critical moment at which we must mount a broad movement in the streets to demand justice for Mumia! The Dec. 11 rally is a legal, permitted demonstration sponsored by all Bay Area Mumia organizations. We are also planning a mass nonviolent civil disobedience in San Francisco on February 28, 2000. This is the West Coast action in coordination with mass c.d. at the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington.

UPDATE ON MUMIA’S CASE As many have heard, the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the racist rulings of the Pennsylvania state courts by turning down Mumia’s writ of certiorari which was filed this past April 22. Mumia’s lawyers were expecting this to happen. We have learned that Governor Ridge is expected to sign a new death warrant in 30 days. When this happens, Mumia will be put on a death watch and have all "privileges" taken away. All activists should be on an emergency alert just in case this does happen. IF A DEATH WARRANT IS SIGNED BEFORE FRIDAY, WE WILL DEMONSTRATE THE FOLLOWING DAY AT POWELL AND MARKET IN SAN FRANCISCO AT 5 PM.

San Francisco: 5/13 Action for Mumia Abu-Jamal: On Thursday, May 13, at 4:30 p.m. we will demonstrate at Dianne Feinstein’s office, 525 Market Street, near Montgomery BART. There will be a legal demonstration and a direct action. Sen. Feinstein has a long history of supporting the racist death penalty in California and nationally and it is appropriate for her to use her power as a U.S. official to call for a new and fair trial for Mumia. kali_williams@hotmail.com

Time is running out for Mumia Abu-Jamal. Thanks to President Clinton’s Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act, Mumia’s chances in federal court are dismal unless we can turn up the heat with a bigger, broader and stronger movement in the streets. To this end, Bay Area groups are calling for a campaign of direct action over the next several months to let the courts and government know that there will be no peace if Mumia is killed. We are building for large actions in July and September and for an emergency response should a death warrant be issued. We are calling for individuals and organizations to form affinity groups of 5-15 people to participate in the May 13 and future actions.

San Francisco: Sunday May 9, 4 p.m: Pre-action gathering and affinity group formation:  Centro de la Raza, 474 Valencia (between 16^th and 15^th).

Boulder, CO: An update:  Jello Biafra, political activist/speaker/former lead singer of punk rock group the Dead Kennedys recently spoke on Mumia’s case to an audience of several hundred people at the Fox Theatre in Boulder, CO on 1/26/99. He eloquently elaborated the facts of the case and incisively attacked the racist, classist death penalty. Furthermore, he pointed out that if Mumia is murdered by the state, it could happen to anyone.

The crowd was mostly youthful, and they were very attentive to his information and enthusiastically applauded his advocacy for Mumia’s freedom.

He also comments on this issue on his most recent spoken word cd. The title is "If Evolution is Outlawed, only Outlaws will Evolve." It is available on his record label Alternative Tentacles Records. He also has put out two cds of Mumia’s recorded commentaries on this label. I recommend seeking all of these out for education of people on the case in general, and youth into the punk scene in particular.

NPR, who recently censored some of Mumia’s commentaries from broadcast on their shows under pressure from the racist government, issued a negative broadcast about the Rage benefit concert on the morning of the concert. Only FOP statesmen and others against the concert and Mumia were interviewed. No Mumia supporters were interviewed. Mumia was referred to as a "convicted cop killer." This further shows how the media is used to manufacture consent for the murder of Mumia by the state. NPR is funded by the government. NPR should be criticized by those in the movement to free mumia by email to their web site, and calls to stations that carry NPR. KEEP HOLDING THE MEDIA ACCOUNTABLE! Scott Cody

Chicago--> Tue, 19 Oct 1999: We had a demo in Chicago on yesterday where at least 300 people came out!! Between 4:30pm & 5:00pm people gather at the Federal Building to listen to a few speakers and at 5:00pm we hit the streets of downtown. We caused many traffic jams as we passed out leaflets, chanted & sang songs of freedom and liberation. I was glad to see the amount of young people as well as Black people who came out. After about an hour of marching the police began to get a little more aggressive with the horses (those horses were strong!!) so that we were only able to stop traffic going West on Adams & Dearborn (Right in front of the Federal Building), as opposed to traffic going North (on Dearborn) and West (on Adams). The crowd ended up dispersing around 6:30PM in front of the Depaul Center. We were supposed to have a meeting in the Depaul Center but the kkkops locked the doors and we were forced to meet outside. 4 People ended up getting arrested and we were able to raise $300-$400 on the spot. As I know it, we didn’t receive any press but we are not giving up and we will continue to organize, educate and agitate until we liberate Mumia and All political prisoners!!!!A Luta Continua, Kamaria ngozi@secapl.com

Worcester Mass à Mon, 06 Dec 1999 : Everyone needs to support Rage Against the Machine they are doing some amazing things. I was given the opportunity to see them in Worcester Mass. and things were tense. Waiting outside when I arrived there with fellow activists were about 1000 kids waiting to get inside (almost 2 hours before open doors), and 150 cops protesting in a picket line. So I parked my car after chanting "FREE MUMIA" out my car window while driving by and proceeded back to the crowd with my "Stop the Legal Lynching" banner. I got the crowd to start cheering and chanting free Mumia before I, along with other fellow activists, was allowed inside to start preparing for the nights activities. Rage had arranged for around 20 activist to receive all access, guess passes for free to the show so that we could get inside and spread the word. Between my group and refuse and resist we probable handed out more than 10,000 flyers about Mumia. There were also groups there getting the word out about Leonard Peltier and other political prisoners. Then at the end of the night, right before the last song Zach De La Rocha gave a little speech about why we were there and why the Cops were outside. "Those cops outside are saying that we support cop killers. We don't support and kind of killers, especially killer cops!!!" -Zach And just before they started into the last song my fellow activists draped a large "FREE MUMIA" banner from the balcony as the band raised their fists in solidarity.

On November 10^th at 9 Am, a group of students and youth will appear in Quincy district court to face a variety of charges including disorderly conduct, trespassing and felony "tagging."

Abu-Jaml who was convicted in a sham trial, has spent the past 18 years on PAs death row. His case has become the focus of international attention, especially since new evidence has been recently brought to light about the police and judicial misconduct in the first trial.

Harvard: MUMIA ABU-JAMAL: A CASE FOR REASONABLE DOUBT? Harvard Film Archive http://www.harvardfilmarchive.org/ Wednesday, November 25, 8PM (dir. John Edginton, 75 mins.) A stimulating and informative documentary about the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal whose appeal for a new trial was just denied by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, triggering world-wide protest. Convicted in 1982 in the shooting death of a Philadelphia police officer, this film explores the many issues raised regarding his original trial: police-coerced false testimony, inadequate counsel, fabricated "evidence," and more. An award-winning radio journalist and widely read author (Live from Death Row; Death Blossoms), this former founding member of the Black Panther Party in Philadelphia and political prisoner has maintained his innocence for 17 years. Mumia continues to fight for a new and fair trial where he will finally receive a measure of justice. mumia@aol.com   http://www.mumia.org

PS We (along with a bunch of other activist groups from in and around Baltimore and DC) leafletted at the Rage Against the Machine concert in Baltimore this past week. We got out thousands of fliers about Mumia and Rage's support of Mumia. We also spoke with media that night and joined a radio talk show the following Sunday morning concerning the case. Definitely a success in getting the facts out. We also had incidences of police violence against concert goers. Towards the end of the concert police pepper sprayed a group of kids standing outside waiting for their friends because they wouldn't leave. They did this even after the kids explained that they were waiting for the people that they came with and that they couldn't leave without them. The police wouldn't let the kids back into the arena to wash off the pepper spray and taunted them as they sat on the curb in agony. To serve and protect right....?

Baltimore à Community Meeting Thursday, Dec. 2, 1999, 7 PM at All Peoples Congress Hall 426 E. 31st St (31st St. & Greenmount Ave.) How Can We Win Justice for Mumia Abu Jamal, Eli McCoy and Larry Hubbard On Dec. 2, the State of Pennsylvania had set the execution of Mumia Abu Jamal, death row political prisoner. A "stay of execution" has been granted in the case of Mumia Abu Jamal. A "stay" means the death warrant is on hold while Mumia's lawyers file the last round of appeals. This is a tremendous victory. One of the many reasons he was targeted for a frame up was his work against police brutality and killings. Find out how you can stop this execution. Find out what his case is about. And discuss the growing epidemic of police killings right here in Baltimore. Why are youth being targeted? Why is racism growing? How is this connected to the fight for a better life for all working and poor people?

In just this past year there have been 15 police shootings and the number in the last couple of months has skyrocketed. We must demand an independent community investigation into police violence. Larry Hubbard is the most recent victim. While the police tell one story, countless eyewitnesses in the community tell a story of blatant execution. "The victim plead for his life" while police in a fit of anger shot Hubbard in the back of the head. Larry Hubbard could have been your brother, son, father or loved one. Larry Hubbard could have been you! There will be a Mayoral candidates forum at the library that evening. Place the candidates on notice that Baltimore City will not tolerate police killings. Martin O’Malley ran on a platform of "zero tolerance" pledging to make this City like New York City. "Zero tolerance" is a code name for increased police abuse. The policy of "zero tolerance" led to the gunning down of Amadou Diallo and the torture of Abner Louima.

Mumia's case is widely seen around the world as symbolic of the fight to oppose the systemic racism and classism of the U.S. "justice" system, including the death penalty. Mumia's struggle is a fight we can and must win! Pam Africa is the coordinator of the main organization spearheading this battle. Come hear Pam Africa and find out how you can get involved!

Downtown Minneapolisà Tuesday Nov. 9 at 4:30 P.M. Federal Building 4th St. at 2nd Ave. DEMONSTRATE FOR AN EVIDENTIARY HEARING & NEW TRIAL  TCCDMAJ meis@minn.net

As you probably know, the movement in support of Mumia is trying to pressure federal Judge Yohn to grant Mumia the evidentiary hearing that he so badly deserves. The previous appeals in Pennsylvania courts have refused to look at the wealth of new evidence produced by the defense such as admissions by witnesses who lied at the original trial under police pressure. Without an opportunity to enter new evidence into the record, all future federal appeals on Mumia's part would be judged solely on the basis of the version of the "evidence" allowed into court by the notorious Judge Sabo. You will recall that "hanging judge" Sabo, who heard the original case against Mumia, was also appointed to hear Mumia's state appeal, including the issue of judicial bias. Sabo ruled of course that the original judge (himself!) had NOT been biased at all, and refused to admit into the record new evidence including the testimony of witnesses who had earlier lied at Mumia's original trial. WITHOUT a new evidentiary hearing, that perjured testimony will be allowed to stand as evidence against Mumia in upcoming appeals! If an evidentiary hearing is turned down by Judge Yohn, the railroading of our brother will be allowed to proceed at full steam, all cries for justice and reason notwithstanding! To protest the state's intention to proceed with Mumia's frame-up and denial of a new trial, visible action is necessary. In the Twin Cities, a rally will be held at: Come and bring all your friends, to send a clear message to Judge Yohn, that we DEMAND a new evidentiary hearing, and a new trial for Mumia! Stop the execution! We will not rest until Mumia is FREE! If you live elsewhere, check with your local Mumia support group to see if there are any actions of this sort in your locality.

Mumia Abu-Jamal has been on death row in Penn-sylvania since 1982. His trial and appeals have been seen as flawed by human rights groups around the world. He has published two books, Live From Death Row (1995), and Death Blossoms: Reflections from a Prisoner of Conscience (1997). Abu-Jamal has become the center of a national and international effort to win him a new trial, and a focus point of a variety of othermovements against police brutality, the death penalty, and racism in the criminal justice system. In Alice Walker’s words, his is "a rare and courageous voice writing from a place we fear to know." Special Speakers Present !FARAH JASMINE GRIFFINProfessor of English at the University of Pennsylvania. Author of "Who Set You Flowin’?"

Princeton: Princeton Theological Seminary - KEY MUMIA AWARENESS WEEK EVENT LEADING SCHOLARS IN CAMPUS SYMPOSIUM FOR DIALOGUE ABOUT JOURNALIST ON DEATH ROW Stuart Hall, Room 6 Thursday, September 23, 1999, 4:00 p.m Event Title: STOPPING THE EXECUTION OF MUMIA ABU-JAMAL Between Prison Narrative and Social Movement Two leading scholars will participate in a symposium discussing the international movement for Mumia Abu-Jamal, a journalist and author who has been on Pennsylvania’s death row since 1981, convicted of the shooting death of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner.

Known as "the voice of the voiceless" in Philadelphia, Abu-Jamal has published two books (LIVE FROM DEATH ROW, and DEATH BLOSSOMS) and nearly 400 columns from his cell. Nobel Laureates, organizations like Amnesty International, and law professors have spoken out on his behalf based on problems associated with his trial; artists have put out CDs on his struggle, high school students have walked out of classes for him in Oakland, New York and Boston, the West Coast longshoreman stopped work for a day on his behalf. Alice Walker has described Abu-Jamal on death row as "a rare and courageous voice speaking from a place we fear to know."

On the Seminary campus for the symposium will be Professor Robin D. G. Kelley, Prof. of History and Africana Studies at New York University. Author of many books, among them, Race Rebels: Culture, Politics and the Black Working Class, Into the Fire: African Americans Since 1970, and Yo’ Mama is DisFUNKtional: Fighting the Culture Wars in Urban America, Kelley was described by Cornel West as "the preeminent historian of black popular culture writing today. Also present will be Professor Farah Jasmine Griffin, Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania. She is the author of Who Set you Flowin’: The African-American Migration Narrative, and most recently a riveting collection of letters written at the time of the civil war that chronicle the lives of two African-American women from New England, Beloved Sisters and Loving Friends. She has been the recipient of fellowships from the Ford Foundation and the Bunting Institute at Radcliffe College. The Symposium will be chaired by Mark Taylor, Professor of Theology and Culture. Sponsored by the Religion and Society Committee, Association of Black Seminarians, and other student organizations. Taylor, Professor Mark: mark.taylor@ptsem.edu

Brooklyn: IN THE WAKE OF THE EXECUTION OF AMADOU DIALLO BY A NEW YORK POLICE DEPARTMENT DEATH SQUAD, THE GATHERING ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27^TH AT 12 PM. AT ALBEE SQUARE MALL (FULTON AND DEKALB) IN BROOKLYN BECOMES EVER MORE CRUCIAL AS A STATEMENT OF THE RESOLVE OF BLACK MEN TO DEFEND OUR COMMUNITY AND PROTECT OUR FREEDOM FIGHTERS. BE THERE!

DECEMBER 12^TH MOVEMENT

At high noon on Saturday, January 31^st, shoppers in downtown Brooklyn, New York stared in amazement as they saw a group of 100 very serious Black men, dressed all in Black, standing silently in two lines, flanked by the Red, Black and Green of the Black Liberation Flag. Suddenly a voice shouted out:

"Who are we?" The response 100 strong, "Black men!" echoed off the walls of the surrounding buildings. The leader, "What we gonna do?" The group: "Free Mumia Abu Jamal." The Call: "How we gonna do it?" The Response: "Brick by brick and wall by wall, we’re gonna free Mumia Abu-Jamal." The Call: "If Mumia Dies..." Response: "Fire in the Skies!!" Suddenlly, seemingly without receiving an order, the two lines of highly disciplined men (with a few black women also participating) made a silent and sharp about face and marched down the street before the police who were monitoring the demonstration could even react.

The group vowed that on February 27^th, they would go out again, but this time, the march would be reproduced in cities across the country. The February 27^th March of 100 Black Men Standing Up All Across the Nation was called by the New Afrikan Liberation Front and immediately endorsed by the December 12^th Movement (and its member organization, the Black Men’s Movement Against Crack) and the Malcolm X Commemoration Committee. They have declared that Black History Month 1999 must be dedicated to Mumia Abu Jamal.

The focus on Black men is not intended to disregard the role of Black women. As a matter of fact, there were several sisters who participated in the January 31^st march. The organizers are very clear that Black women have more than upheld their share of the liberation struggle. The goal is to mobilize Black men to assume their responsibility.

If you want to participate in this motion, endorse this motion and/or have ideas, suggestions for, or questions about organizing an activity in your community, please contact us: E-mail: iyaluua@aol.com NALF; D12M@aol.com D12; Fax:(718) 949-3937 NALF; (718) 623-185 D12; Phone: (718) 949-5153 NALF; (212) 234-7788 D12

Eugene: Residents of Eugene Oregon demonstrated their support for African American journalist Mumia Abu Jamal with a four hour rally and march that swelled to 200 persons at its peak on April 24^th as part of an international mobilization on that day to stop the execution of the dubiously convicted death row inmate whose case has become an icon of corruption and institutional racism in the United States.

Police issued at least 8 tickets for parading without a permit but surprisingly allowed the throng the streets without escalating the confrontation with chemical agents or other violence. The protesters were nonviolent, though militant in tone. Many wore masks or other costume, some, gas masks and other riot gear. Eugene has been experiencing increasing conflict between police and community activists in recent years with high profile mass pepperspraying over downtown trees, two separate uprisings against NIKE corporation where property was damaged as well as other incidents.

Some marchers carried large puppets, one depicting Jamal holding a pen, another a black helicopter. Police diverted traffic around the march for nearly four hours as it wound its way through the heart of the city.

Police singled out long term activists and members of the alternative media for tickets. The citations were issued as the group eventually dispersed. The police took pain to confront individuals or small groups well away from any sizable concentration of people. Whispered Media whisper@energy-net.org

Demand an end to the mass imprisonment of African people. Participate in building the African-led movement for economic development, social justice and empowerment for African people! We demand the unconditional release of Mumia Abu-Jamal! Speakers—Pam Africa, International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal Robert X Gray, African American Freedom and Reconstruction League Kamau Becktemba, National People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement Alison Hoehne, African People’s Solidarity Committee Representative, PA. Abolitionists More Mumia Abu-Jamal was framed by the U.S. government in 1981 and has been on PA death row ever since.

The government wants to silence Mumia because he is a courageous fighter for African people’s rights. Like Fred Hampton Jr. he was imprisoned for his political beliefs. African people have the right to struggle for freedom without being imprisoned, terrorized and murdered by the government and the police. This forum is sponsored by the African People’s Solidarity Committee, (APSC). We work under the leadership of the African working-class-led Uhuru (freedom) Movement for Black Power. APSC organizes the white population to recognize and take action against the daily, escalating violations of African people’s democratic rights. The Uhuru Movement is building a powerful movement to bring positive solutions to the conditions the government imposes on the African community, including a drug economy and massive poverty, police terror, mass imprisonment and lack of power over heath care, housing and education.

We call on other white people to participate in building campaigns to call for the immediate release of Mumia and all African political prisoners, and to uphold the rights of ALL African people to organize for social justice, economic development and self-determination! Rubygitt@aol.com

Philadelphia : YOU ARE INVITED TO ATTEND A PRESS CONFERENCE: Members of the Philadelphia Clergy, members of the family of Mumia Abu-Jamal, Community leaders and others will speak with representatives of print and broadcast media at: ABIDING TRUTH MINISTRIES, 57^th and Washington Avenue (near 57^th & Baltimore Av. in West Phila.), WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1999, 10:00 AM.

The purpose of the meeting is twofold: To announce the April 24 Millions for Mumia mobilization, which will call for a new trial for Mumia. And to refute the often-repeated allegation that the high level of interest in the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal is primarily from "out-of-towners" who "don’t know all the facts." The reality is that a broad spectrum of people, from inside and outside the Philadelphia area, have found much to condemn in the City and State treatment of Mumia and of others who have the misfortune to come before the politically-charged "justice" system in Philadelphia. These critics include Clergy from many faiths, Labor organizations, elected officials in the U.S., Africa, Asia and Europe, lawyers, civil rights organizers, professors, writers, artists, social workers, human rights and environmental activists, Peace and anti-militarism organizations, anti-death penalty activists (including families of murder victims), doctors, child-care professionals, students, editors, journalists...and on and on. Please attend, whoever and whatever you may be, to show your support for a new trial. INFO: Rev. Benjamin Green 215-476-7225, or Mumia Mobilization 215-476-8812

VA

VA Beachà ONA MOVE! On Dec, 17^th , 1999, the youth of the ICFFMAJ-VA organized a protest demanding a new trial for Mumia. The protest was held at the corner of ironically Independence and VA Beach Blvd, one of the busiest intersections in VA Beach. The protest was conducted on a public sidewalk in front of a Taco Bell. The young soldiers involved held signs demanding a new trial and Mumia’s freedom all the while bellowing liberation chants such as "brick by brick wall by wall we gonna free Mumia Abu-Jamal." Almost immediately after beginning the protest these kids found themselves in a confrontation with police. We have since learned that the on-duty manager of the Taco bell, under what he claimed to be company policy anytime there is any type of protest in front of the establishment, called the police.

Because of this incident we are now planning to have a massive demonstration in front of the local FOP headquarters to highlight this incident as well as the FOP’s national campaign to murder Mumia, and their constant harassment of rockers Rage Against The Machine. We are going to let them know we will be wherever they are, and we will not allow them to put out the misinformation they seem so determined to spread. It’s on down here in the Dirty South and we won’t stop until we are victorious.

We were also able to set up a Mumia display at the Virginia Beach Central Library. The display which was exhibited from Dec 1-15, was stationed in three display cases that sit prominently at the entrance of the library. We displayed Mumia’s books, newspaper articles, pictures, etc of Mumia. We also inserted a copy of Soledad brother by George Jackson and a copy of Assata’s biography. Of course the library received complaints and one person even wrote a letter to the local newspaper acknowledging that the library had to provide a service but should draw the line at a "murderer." Needless to say we are now inundating the newspaper with letters about the truth of Mumia’s case. We down here in VA plan to stay ONA MOVE in 2000 and hopefully the new year will bring with it a new vigor and increased activism not only to Mumia’s case but against this whole rotten ass system. ONA MOVE! FREE MUMIA! FREE THE MOVE9! FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS! LONG LIVE JOHN AFRICA’S REVOLUTION! David Nason, Minister of Information for VA Chapter of Friends of MOVE and ICFFMAJ-VA

Milwaukee-->Thursday, Oct. 21, 1999, 7:30 pm: This is the critical period in the struggle to save Mumia's life. The fact that in Milwaukee we are finally breaking through with coverage in the "mainstream" media is the result of years of work by a core of activists. Your help is needed NOW to take advantage of this opportunity to make Mumia's name a household word. That is what is going to make the state hesitate in its plans to murder Mumia. Don't wait until it's too late, to say, "I should have gotten involved." Make the difference NOW -- help stop this legal lynching!

Activities for Mumia occurring at the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay: Mumia Awareness Week: 9/19-9/25/99--DETAILS: We (Daughters of Nadia) felt that because Green Bay is such an uninformed conservative city including the campus, it needed information focusing on Mumia but also including Leonard and other political prisoners. Information will be provided at the tables set up on political prisoners in general but heavily focusing on Mumia, due to the urgency of his situation. Report-Back

Milwaukee Community Rallies for Mumia

Milwaukee: PAM AFRICA is coming to Milwaukee June 18 & 19! Pam is a member of the MOVE organization of Philadelphia and a leader of the International Concerned Family & Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal. She is coming to Milwaukee to inform the community about the struggle to win a new trial for internationally known political prisoner, Black activist and award-winning journalist MUMIA ABU-JAMAL, now facing execution in Pennsylvania. Activists with Wisconsin for Mumia in the Milwaukee area are working to set up the following schedule:

Wisconsin: African American political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal is on death row awaiting execution by the state of Pennsylvania. He was sentenced in 1982 following a blatantly racist, unfair trial. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court rejected his appeal for a new trial. The governor intends to sign the death warrant. Mumia’s case is supported by human rights activists world wide, but only a massive mobilization to exert political pressure at the state and federal level will succeed at this point. The time to act is now. Join the "Millions for Mumia" campaign! NO EXECUTION—DEMAND A NEW TRIAL FOR MUMIA ABU-JAMAL!!
