Free Mumia Abu Jamal! @ ILWU Local 10
Feb 17 @ 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Why now? Judge Lucretia Clemons of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas has ordered the Philadelphia District Attorney to turn over its files up to 200 boxes to Mumia’s defense team. His lawyers expect to find further evidence that he was framed, that police coerced and bribed witnesses, and that extreme racism and judicial bias have permeated all the proceedings against him.
What you can do now: In addition to participating in the actions of Feb. 16, we can write letters to Judge Clemons to demand Mumia’s immediate release. Here is her address:
Judge Lucretia Clemons, Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County

Big peace rallies are starting up again!

We’re hoping lots of people will find a way to BE THERE in San Francisco at noon on February 19, this Sunday, and to encourage others.
For rallies around the nation, see: https://rageagainstwar.com/rallies/

WHAT: Rage Against the War Machine march and rally
WHEN: Sunday, February 19, 12:00 noon
WHERE: Embarcadero Plaza, SF
WHO: You, your friends, your family
WHY: Stop outrageously excessive military spending. Shift money and energy toward constructing a better world  https://rageagainstwar.com/#Demands

Please REPLY to:  acgreens2012@gmail.com  if you might be there! See the MEET AT BART paragraph below about how we can meet up and go to SF together.

People often ask: Do rallies and marches do any good? I believe that people standing together for what we want is always worthwhile, and besides, it’s a good way to see people we know, almost like having a party and not having to prepare in advance or clean up after. Also, it’s open air which is great these days.

The rally in Washington, DC has an amazing lineup of speakers https://rageagainstwar.com/#Speakers from across the political spectrum. While there are many topics various groups may disagree on, we are united in being for peace and against war and military spending.

MEET AT BART
With gratitude for this procedure to Steve and Beth and others from LMNOP, Lake Merritt Neighbors Organized for Peace, here’s how we can meet up and go to the rally together: meet at the MacArthur BART station at 11:15am to go thru the gate promptly at 11:30. We will sit in the last car so that if you get on at a different station you may still be able to hook up with us because you’ll know where to find us.  RSVP if you might be there!  Be seen being GREEN!

The 2/19 SF sister event is organized by Cynthia Papermaster & Golden Gate Code Pink.

All Out for Palestine
Mar 10 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

This week Zionist settler mobs protected by Israeli Occupation Forces stormed the occupied village of Huwara, surrounded it and attempted to burn it to the ground. Israeli human rights group @btselem and many others have called the settler attacks a “pogrom” to describe the attacks on the village. Pogrom is a Russian word meaning “to wreak havoc” and typically describes the violence by Russians against Jewish people, particularly officially-mandated slaughter.

Many are blaming the new Israeli government as the cause of the unimaginable violence Palestinians, but the origin of these atrocities is not the Israeli government but Zionism. This isn’t a “loss of control” this is exactly what Israeli control looks like. The settlers carry out the attack, the military secures it, the politicians back it. It’s a synergy.

There is No Justice in the Capitalist Courts! Rally to Free Mumia @ Oakland Federal Bldg
Apr 5 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

 

On March 31, 2023, Judge Lucretia Clemons of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas denied political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal’s legal appeal. Judge Clemons’ decision ludicrously claims that newly discovered evidence proving that key witnesses at Mumia’s trial were paid by (or received favours from) the District Attorney in exchange for their false testimony was “not material” to showing that the trial was unfair!

Mumia Abu-Jamal is innocent and should never have spent a day in jail. This decision shows that Mumia will never receive justice in the capitalist courts. Only mass demonstrations can win his release. Join us at a rally calling to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal!

Mumia is Innocent! Free Mumia Now!
