WE NEED YOUR HELP … AGAIN … FOR JUSTICE FOR MUMIA!<br><br>
March 19, 2010<br><br>
Dear Friends and Supporters of Mumia Abu-Jamal<br><br>
The time has come to ante up for Mumia. We are writing to invite you to
join our Civil Rights Investigation Campaign (CRIC) on behalf of Mumia
Abu-Jamal with your checkbooks and credit cards. As many of you know, the
campaign is urging the Justice Department to open an investigation into
the decades-long violations of Mumia's civil rights. As you also know,
Mumia recently suffered a setback when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled for
the Philadelphia district attorney, vacating earlier rulings that had
overturned the death penalty and granted a new sentencing-phase trial.
Now, the Third Circuit Court will decide whether or not to execute Mumia
without having a new sentencing trial. It's no exaggeration to say that
Mumia's life is in grave danger … more than ever.<br><br>
We believe that this campaign, which has already won national and
international support and generated tens of thousands of letters and
petitions to Attorney General Eric Holder, can positively change Mumia's
fate. The campaign's supporters include the NAACP, the Riverside Church
Prison Ministry, dozens of international unions, WESPAC; actress Ruby
Dee; former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark; Professors Cornel West,
Noam Chomsky, and Henry Louis Gates; U.S. Congressman Charles Rangel; and
former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (for current lists of national
and international organizations and individuals who support the campaign,
see our Web site under Join the Campaign and scroll to the bottom).
<br><br>
But the campaign can't move forward to fulfill its promise and
possibilities without material support. We must produce more palms cards,
fliers, petitions, and buttons; make banners; rent buses Washington; pay
for use of the Press Club. We pay for our meeting space, invest in video
supplies, overnight mail documents to Mumia to assure delivery, copy
materials and, even prepare to host some of the scheduled international
visitors and participants in the meeting with the Department of
Justice. Now is the time to do everything we can to fight for
Mumia's life. <br><br>
We will return to Washington, DC, on April 26 (two days after Mumia's
56th birthday) with busloads of supporters and boxloads of petitions in
Phase 2 of the CRIC. (Phase 1 ended on November 12, 2009, when we
delivered thousands of petitions to the Justice Department chief of the
Civil Rights Division.) This time we hope to meet with officials to make
our case in person.<br><br>
We can't control the courts. But we can invest in an alternative strategy
that may very likely have results leading to a new trial. And
exoneration. <br><br>
Here's how you can help. You can make a tax-deductible donation to the
Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition (NYC) by going to our Web site,
<a href="http://www.freemumia.com/" eudora="autourl">www.freemumia.com</a>
, and clicking on "Please donate to the struggle for Mumia's
freedom" at the right. PayPal takes it from there. Or you can send a
check made out to "IFCO/Free Mumia Coalition" to the Free Mumia
Abu-Jamal Coalition (NYC), P.O. Box 16, College Station, New York, NY
10030. All monies will be shared by the International Concerned
Family & Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal and the Free Mumia Abu-Jamal
Coalition (NYC). We also hope you can be with us in Washington, DC
on Monday, April 26.<br><br>
We understand that the fight for freedom is not free. It takes some
money. Many of you have come forward in the past and contributed to this
critical fight. We hope you can help us help Mumia again this
time.<br><br>
Free Mumia and All Political Prisoners! Ona Move!<br><br>
