It is with great excitement that we announce the formation of Mumia's new legal team. Both Christina Swarns and Judith Ritter have argued before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals for Mumia.  They are now  formal co-counsel representing him in the ongoing appeal of his murder conviction and death sentence.  The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund (LDF), as the premier legal organization in this country fighting for racial justice, has committed itself to "sweep the grave injustices embodied in this case into the dustbin of history."

Limited space is available for reception.  We suggest you order your tickets now.
