April 24th is Mumia Abu-Jamal's 50th birthday, and even though a federal judge overturned his death sentence, he is still sitting on Pennsylvania's death row, and the courts still refuse to hear his exculpatory evidence. To build for national demonstrations of 4/24 for Mumia, the Jericho Amnesty Coalition LA is bringing Ramona Africa, minister of information of MOVE and the sole adult survivor of the bombing of one of MOVE's homes in Philadelphia, to Los Angeles to speak.
The main activity is Saturday, April 17. The event will focus on freeing Mumia, the MOVE 9, and all political prisoners, and will be emcee'd by Thandi Chimurenga of KPFK's "Some of Us Are Brave."
The event is also co-sponsored by radio station KPFK-FM 90.7 Pacifica. Please forward this information widely! For more information, people can call (310) 495-0299, or check http://www.geocities.com/jerichoamnestycoalitionla http://www.abcf.net
