This is a Partisan Defense Committee sponsored united-front defense rally that takes up the cases of political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal, attorney Lynne Stewart, and former Black Panther Assata Shakur. The bloodthirsty U.S. government\'s frontal assault on democratic rights is being carried out under the pretext of the bogus \"war on terrorism.\" Basic rights, won through the hard-fought class struggles of the 1930s union organizing drives and the social struggles of the 1950s through the early 1970s-in the civil rights movement, the Vietnam war protests, for women\'s and gay rights-are being run through the shredder by the Bush administration with the full agreement of the Democratic Party. The \"War on Terror\" targets blacks, immigrants, labor and leftists! Free Mumia Abu-Jamal! Hands Off Lynne Stewart! Hands Off Assata Shakur! Fight Government Repression!
Moderator: Valerie West, Partisan Defense Committee
Speakers include: Lydia Barashango, sister of Mumia Abu-Jamal Don Cane, Labor Black League for Social Defense Henry Walton, Host, KPFK - Labor Review*
