We the undersigned support the campaign to rename a street in Harlem in honor of internationally renowned political prisoner and death row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal

-because of Mumia’s lifelong dedication to his people and to justice, and for never allowing himself to be silenced , even while on death row, and

-because of Mumia’s incredible accomplishments, including during the almost 25 years he has spent on death row: five published books and weekly brilliant commentaries exposing the lies that imperialist USA fosters, that are read and listened to by millions around the world, and

-because given the many honors he has received around the world – including honorary citizenship of Palermo, Venice, the Central District of Copenhagen, and Paris, and a street naming in Saint-Denis, and dozens of university, community, and literary awards, it is befitting that Harlem, too, honor our Brother, and

-because Mumia’s case is in its last stages in the court system and, while there is an opportunity for a new and fair trial, the State of Pennsylvania, the Fraternal Order of Police and their allies are opposing that tooth and nail and are demanding, instead, that Mumia be executed, and naming a street in honor of Mumia in Harlem would offer a serious challenge to railroading him to death.

P.O. Box 607 New York, NY 10159. I am a staunch supporter of any street being named for Mumia. He is a warrior to all of us. His son Jamal Hart, who is also incarcerated in the state of New York, will be informed of this fantastic idea. I'm sure he would support the idea as well. FREE MUMIA!! FREE JAMAL HART!!
