On March 27, the U.S. Court of Appeals, Third Circuit, ignoring its 
own rulings and precedents as well as those of the U.S. Supreme 
Court, denied the appeal of innocent death row inmate, frame-up 
victim, award-winning journalist and leading fighter for human and 
democratic rights, Mumia Abu-Jamal. The State of Pennsylvania now 
seeks Mumia's execution. We seek a new trial and his freedom. After 
twenty-six years on death row resulting from a racist trial and 
Amnesty International-repudiated conviction presided over by Judge 
"Yeah, I'm going to help 'em fry the ni - - er," Albert Sabo, a 
worldwide effort to win Mumia's freedom is underway. As Mumia's legal 
struggle enters its final stages we must rededicate ourselves to a 
fight that makes the political price of his continued incarceration 
impossible and his freedom inevitable.
The broken criminal "justice" system has excluded a mountain of 
evidence proving Mumia's innocence. The truth will be heard! Mumia's 
freedom is in our hands! Join us!
