Attention all Orange County and Los Angeles County activists!
On Wednesday, October 20th, US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
will be speaking at the opening of Chapman University's Law School. The
students of Chapman are protesting against this event and the school for
several reasons, however in the wake of Mumia's death warrant we are
compelled
to speak out against the US Supreme courts "inaction" to save our brother
Mumia's
life. Please support us in our effort and attend this event. I will post
more information

To Governor Thomas Ridge of Pennsylvania,
The signers of this petition voice our outrage at your
signing the death warrant of Mumia Abu-Jamal, a prisoner on
Pennsylvania's death row. You chose to ignore the judge,
Albert Sabo, who has sentenced more people to death (mostly
African-Americans) than any other judge in America. You
chose to ignore the fact that Mumia was denied the right to
choose his own attorney or represent himself. You chose to
ignore the witnesses who have come forward and stated that
they originally testified against Mumia due to police
coersion. And you ignored the fact that ballistics tests
were unclear and did not add up.
In 1995 you signed the death warrant for Mumia Abu-Jamal,
and WORLDWIDE protests stopped his execution. Let it be
known that we, people of conscience, are protesting your
corrupt and immoral decision.
