MOVE/Mumia 8/8-9
Film + Town Hall!
- Datum: Freitag, 1. August 2008 17:51 PLEASE MAKE PLANS NOW TO SUPPORT! PASS THE WORD!
- Sis. Ramona Africa:
- The MOVE family will be presenting the film on the August 8, 1978
- confrontation between MOVE and this system at Clark Park. This will be
- on Friday, August 8th at 7:00pm. Clark Park is located at 43rd & 45th
- Sts between Chester and Woodland Aves. August 8th marks 30 years of
- unjust imprisonment for our MOVE family and they were just denied parole
- since they wouldn’t lie and say that they are guilty when they’re not
- guilty. Come on out to see the film and get updated on where things are
- at now. Also join us on August 9th at DC1199C at Juniper & Locust
- Sts. for a joint program on MOVE and Mumia—Ramona

- Free Mumia NYC:
- Now is the time for all of us organizers in the people’s movements to be
- the voice for Mumia, as he has been for all of us. Pam Africa wants
- everybody to know that the court has tried to make it impossible for
- Mumia to ever be released from jail alive. Mumia is innocent and we
- want his freedom, not a life or death sentence. Come to Philly on
- Saturday, August 9th, where we’ll organize to free Mumia and to change
- the parole rules which have denied freedom to the innocent MOVE 9. To
- reserve a seat on the bus from New York, call 212/330-8029 or e-mail
- info@freemumia.com .
- The U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals in PA has just rejected Mumia’s
- request for a rehearing before the entire Court. This means that Mumia
- faces execution if the prosecution appeals and wins; as it stands now,
- it’s life in prison without the possibility of parole. Only the power
- of the organized people can force the state to release this innocent
- man. The MOVE 9 and Kevin Brinkley are also innocent and have been
- unjustly imprisoned for 30 years.
- Join the Free Mumia Coalition NYC and ICFFMAJ as we remember the August
- 8 1978 military style attack on MOVE. There will be a Town Hall
- meeting, organizing to free Mumia and change the rules for consideration
- of parole on Saturday, August 9, 12 noon at Phila’s AFSCME 1199 Union
- Hall at 1319 Locust St. (near Juniper).
- To arrange for group transportation from NY and to reserve a seat on the
- bus, call 212-330-8029 or e-mail info@freemumia.com.

- Check out this article from Workers World:
- http://www.workers.org/2008/us/mumia_0807/
- Harlem Mtg discusses Mumia’s legal case
- Sundiata Sadiq, Suzanne Ross and attorney Soffiyah Elijah spoke at a New
- York Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition open meeting on July 25 in Harlem to
- explain the political implications in the latest phase of Mumia’s legal
- appeals process dedicated to winning him a new trial. (pix is at website)
- On July 22 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit based in
- Philadelphia denied Mumia’s petition that exposed the racist systematic
- exclusion of Black jurors by the prosecution during his original 1982 trial.
- A jury convicted him on first degree murder charges that sent him to
- Pennsylvania’s death row. Mumia’s lawyers will now appeal this decision
- to the U.S. Supreme Court in late October. The options for Mumia are
- either execution or life in prison without parole. The movement will
- continue to fight against both options.
- The main message of the speakers at the July 25 meeting was to continue
- to remain politically vigilant and organize in the streets to win
- Mumia’s freedom.
- On Aug. 9 in Philadelphia, a forum is scheduled around the 30th
- anniversary of the unprovoked police attack on the MOVE organization.
- Just as Mumia was unjustly sent to death row for over 26 years, the MOVE
- 9 have been falsely imprisoned for 30 years. They were recently denied
- parole. Mumia’s case will also be discussed at the Aug. 9 forum.
- For more information on the forum, call International Concerned Family
- and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal at 215-476-8812 or the New York Free
- Mumia Coalition at 212-330-8029.
