- Instead of bailing Out Mega
Corporations that have sucked the life
- blood from the community,
endorsed slavery, raided pensions, decimated
- savings, created the perfect
environment for scams and put home
- owners, renters and their
families out on the street - FREE MUMIA!
-
- The Supreme Court, the
highest court in the land, handed George W.
- Bush the election despite
the democratic popular vote to the contrary
- and as a direct result of
that court's decision we witnessed the
- erosion of civil liberties,
scandals, torture and illegal wars that
- have killed hundreds of
thousands. The world suffered greatly. Today
- this same court will not
hear the case of Mumia Abu Jamal, an innocent
- man who has served over 25
years in prison on death row- in effect
- letting his conviction
stand. This is not surprising! But this IS
- outrageous! This is
disrespectful not only to Justice everywhere but
- to the Black Community in
particular. What are we going to do about
- it? Um...here’s a
thought:
-
- The
Free Mumia Five Point Plan:
-
- 1. Tell Your
Mama AND Obama: To all the supporters of the Obama
- Administration:
make this a central issue. If he's unwilling FORCE him
- to use every
ounce of his reach and influence from presidential
- pardons to
civil and human rights investigations to demand justice.
- Challenge
his position and prepare to expose to the world where the
- real power
is.
-
- 2. Shame
Weak Leadership: Those in "leadership" in the
Black
- community
who do not step up to fight, speak, write, divest,
protest,
- ignite,
bite, spit and curse, throw stares and misbehave on
behalf of
- our brother
should be shown the door. Forever!
-
- 3. The
Symbol: To my friends and family connected to street
- tribes: Let
Mumia be your flag and symbol for a real political,
social
- and positive
movement that turns necessary attention back to Mumia's
- plight.
-
- 4. One Hour Pledge: If every
justice-loving, peace-seeking ,
- freedom-fighting,
consciousness-bringing individual pledges and
- dedicates at least one hour
every day to fight, speak, write, divest,
- protest, ignite, bite, spit
and curse, throw stares and misbehave, we
- can shake up this world and
shake Mumia free from those cold white
- walls, steel doors and
shackles.
-
- 5. Promise to never Say
"I’ve done enough": It’s not enough
that
- in every Ghetto Chronicles
episode that I direct that I place a promo
- about the Mumia coalition.
-
- It’s not enough that
every year I put his name on my Birthday cake
- because we share the same
birthday.
-
- It’s not enough that
after every film I place a FREE MUMIA TAG!
-
- It’s not enough that I
wrote this article.
-
- It’s not enough to say
I wrote, visited or listen to Mumia on Prison
- Radio.
-
- Never say we’ve done
enough or we’ve done all we could until our true
- symbol of hope, change and
justice is where we want him to be. Home,
- with us!
-
- Let’s
not forget that Mumia Abu Jamal has done more work from
death
- row
than many "inactivists", movement folk and
"webolutionaries" to
- bringing
attention and clarity to our struggle than those outside
of
- prison.
Mumia was an
activist, photographer and writer dedicated to
- real justice before being
arrested and charged with the murder of a
- Philadelphia policeman.
Mumia Abu Jamal like so many other political
- prisoners deserves our
commitment. If we don’t take care of the best
- of us right here and right
now it will send the wrong signal to
- activist all over the world.
The fight for Mumia’s Justice and Freedom
- is a fight for our very own
and a Fight we must win. IF NOT NOW, WHEN?
-
- Revolution, then peace!
-
- On The Move!
