> Hello all on the Melbourne Mumia list and Left Link
>
> It is time for some urgent coordinated action in Melbourne to build the
> movement to stop the execution of Mumia.
>
> The Freedom Socialist Party proposes that we hold a united front Emergency
> Stop the Execution rally in Melbourne.
>
> Given the Mumia solidarity movement is not as big and well developed
> locally as it is in the U.S., we propose that a little lead time is
> required to build it. But we don't have much time!
>
> Proposed date: Saturday 13 November at noon.
>
> Proposed venue: GPO
>
> Proposed action: Speak out style protest rally with union movement and
> Aboriginal movement speakers. That we leaflet shoppers and ask people top
> sign a stop the execution petition. Also, that we aim to get media
> coverage, including in the U.S.
>
> We would like to work with others to organise this using the Melbourne
> Millions for Mumia Worldwide name and listing other organisational and
> individual endorsers.
>
> We're doing a mailout this weekend and will include a rally announcement
in
> it if we know that others agree with the thrust of this proposal.. Given
> the gravity of the situation, we don't want to see several tiny and
> ineffectual protests when, with a little coordination, the left could work
> together and do a good job.
>
> Get back to us right away with opinions, endorsements etc. We especially
> need to know RIGHT NOW if any other groups have already started organising
> something. If they have, speak out now and we can all put our efforts
> behind any organising which has already commenced.
>
> Yours in solidarity
