On Monday, October 4, 1999 the Supreme Court denied
Mumia Abu-Jamal's appeal for a new trial. Mumia's response
is "It was not unexpected that the Supreme Court would deny
my appeal." However, Mumia exclaims "we can't forget that
the truth shall set you free. I still believe that. I'd be
a fool not to."
Mumia still believes that, and so should we. This blood
thirsty government is counting down for the kill. Therefore,
we will be rallying today, October 5, 1999, at 4:00 at the
State Office Building, Broad and Spring Garden, Philadelphia.
We must keep the pressure on this government, this rally is
to continue circulating the truth about Mumia's case.
