     =====AN UPDATE ON MUMIA's APPEAL=====
Mumia's legal appeal is being reviewed before the highest court under the 
U.S. Supreme Court. Oral arguments will be held in the next few months. His 
appeal shows proves that Mumia did not get a fair trial.

The City Council of Philadelphia and the State of Pennsylvania Senate and 
Assembly passed resolutions this past May insisting that France withdraw the 
naming of a street after Mumia, and that Mumia no longer has any right to 
appeal, in direct contradiction of his being granted the right to do so 
before the Third circuit Court of Appeals.

Remember the executions of Shaka Sankofa, Stanley Tookie Williams, Hasan 
Shakur, Frances Newton and others.  Let's act now to organize to save 
Mumia's life before it is too late. 24 years on death row is an injustice

Mumia is a national and international leader in the fight against war, 
racism and all forms of repression and exploitation. A serious threat on 
Mumia's life is a serious attack on all of our struggles.

Endorsers include:  International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia 
Abu-Jamal, NY Free Mumia Coalition, Harlem Tenants Council, International 
Action Center, Patrice Lumumba Coalition, IFCO/Pastors for Peace, Iglesia 
San Romero/UCC, Campaign to End the Death Penalty, FIST - Fight Imperialism, 
Stand Together -youth group and others
