URGENT MESSAGE FROM International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal!

TOWN HALL MEETING IN PHILADELPHIA
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2006
AFSC, 15th and CHERRY STREET, PHILADELPHIA


This event is critical towards beating back an F.O.P. inspired attack on Mumia that is designed to lead to his legalized, sanitized murder, which is most serious and escalating by the day!!

At this critically urgent stage in the fight for Mumia's life the Fraternal Order of Police have been waging a vicious campaign to try to kill him. When the city of Saint-Denis, France named a street in honor of Mumia Abu-Jamal the FOP went crazy. Racist, conservative politicians introduced resolutions laced with dangerous lies in Philadelphia City Council, The House and Senate aiming to bully the French government to change the name of the street. "

Old news? Hell no! The aforementioned bullying now includes blatant lies that are falsifying documents to get Mumia executed, AND a statement that Mumia hit Officer Daniel Faulkner several times before allegedly shooting him. They are COUNTING on us to SLEEP on this and it's OUTRAGEOUS!! Hold up... As if that weren't enough.... this
blood-thirsty lynch mob is also stating that Mumia has exhausted all appeals, when he in fact has a handful of appeals left, therefore misleading many to believe that he is going to be executed anyway, so why not aquiesce to the F.O.P.'s demands!! TRICKNOLOGY IS IN FULL EFFECT, STRUGGLE PEOPLE!!!!

CHECK IT: This bullying has also included attacks on French Mumia supporters, including Sis. Julia Wright, whose HOME suffered an attempted break-in and frightening unidentified surveillors sitting outside of her home. Further intimidation has included men dressed as police officers tearing down the street signs honoring Mumia and vandalizing sites designated by the French activists in support of Mumia!!

FURTHERMORE, H. Con. Res. 407 is being purported as being in the "people's" name ... and we MUST let them know before they resume session on SEPTEMBER 15 that they are not speaking for ANY of us, they are speaking for the F.O.P.!!!! BEFORE SEPTEMBER 15!!!

The ICCFMAJ needs YOU to be at the very important meeting on SEPTEMBER 6 IN PHILADELPHIA. Don't worry about food, cuz food and refreshments will be provided for FREE! Just show up, bring whoever! There will even be free documentary DVD's given away on the case of Mumia.

WE NEED YOU to be ready to fight back against the mounting offensive against
Mumia and his supporters WORLD-WIDE. The French Delegation is EMERGENTLY flying back here to obtain much-needed support and WE GOTTA BE ON POINT. YOUR support is needed to beat back the F.O.P. attempts at anti-Mumia legislation!!

Join us, Wednesday, September 6th at the AFSC at 15th and Cherry in Center City Philly. Stand in solidarity with the delegation who will fly into Philly from France in order to put pressure on US officials and to clear the air about the lies surrounding the street naming for Mumia. Come at 5:30 pm to view The Framing of an Execution - a documentary on Mumia featuring Danny Glover and Angela Davis. Then at 6:30 join us for a work oriented town meeting to strengthen the international struggle for Mumia and all political prisoners.

The Delegation from France includes: Patrick Braouezec, Representative of the French National Assembly, Julia Wright, ICFFMAJ spokesperson in France and daughter of acclaimed author Richard Wright and Rafael Barontini, Coordinator of the Mumia Committe of Saint-Denis. Speakers will include the above as well as Death Row exonoree Harold Wilson,
Attorney Michael Coard, Tonya McCleary and others.

CHAKA FATAH, WHERE ARE YOU NOW? YOU SUPPORTED MUMIA BEFORE!!! WE NEED YOU TO SPEAK OUT NOW !!!!

Support Mumia and greet the French Delegation for their courage in confronting the U.S. Government's determination to execute Mumia!

As soon as the Third Circuit Court of Appeals granted Mumia the right to appeal on issues that could lead to a new trial, the Fraternal Order of Police and its allies began waging a vicious campaign on the internet and in the media to prevent the possibility of a new trial.

They made up a new version of what happened on December 9, 1981; they insisted that Mumia's case is closed and that no further appeals are possible, despite the recent ruling of the Third Circuit which clearly stated that the case was NOT closed; and they presented Mumia as a cold-blooded cop-killer. They then introduced resolutions in the City Council of Philadelphia, the Senate of Pennsylvania, and the US Congress denouncing Saint-Denis and France for naming a street after Mumia, insisting that the name be withdrawn, and threatening sanctions. (The resolutions were passed both in the City Council and the State Senate). Let us stand with the French, united for justice and refusing to be intimidated by the bullying of the FOP and their elected cronies and media hacks.
