Pittsburgh Organizers, Activists, Critical Thinkers, Hip Hop Artists, Concerned Community Members all come together to Celebrate Mumia Abu Jamal's 61st B'Earth Day. Our Brotha Mumia has recently had a health scare due to medical neglect while imprisoned. We all know that the state, government and medical officials will do whatever they can to ensure that Mumia is not only incapacitated and weak especially with his voice. Mumia's resilient spirit continues to not only reach the people but, teach the people behind the enemies walls.

WHY:
Our comrade Mumia Abu Jamal has been in failing health culminating in an
emergent crisis this month. Consequently,
the Free Mumia campaign, Mumia’s family, friends, and concerned citizens would
like to be able to send in new lawyers and independent medical staff to treat
him. The ultimate goal, as always, is to
FREE MUMIA and all political prisoners. This is a celebration of Mumia’s life
and contributions to the movement at large.
It is also a galvanization and rekindling of the ongoing movement to
save his life which is being threatened due to medical neglect at the hands of
the state. Stop the murder of Mumia and
all other prisoners by medical neglect!
