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
Communication 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 at 7 PM at Faith United
Methodist Community Church, 1713 W. 108th Street in Los Angeles (off
Western). The event will focus on freeing Mumia, the MOVE 9, and all
political prisoners. Aztlan Unearthed/Urban Hawk Drummers and Medusa
are scheduled to perform, and will be emcee'd by Thandi Chimurenga
(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!
