November 11th, 2009 · No further remarks

What do we need?
A CIVIL RIGHTS INVESTIGATION INTO THE CASE OF MUMIA ABU-JAMAL!

DOWNLOAD / VIEW FLIER ANNOUNCEMENT

When do we need it?
NOW!

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 12

11AM Press Conference
(NY Avenue Presbyterian Church, 1313, NY Ave. NY, Washington DC)

MARCH TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

1:30PM Delivery of letter to Attorney General Eric Holder at the Justice Department

We demand that the Department of Justice conduct a civil rights investigation into the 28-year conspiracy — organized through police, prosecutorial, and judicial criminal misconduct — to railroad Mumia, an innocent man, to death. As US Attorney General, Eric Holder has the duty to monitor and remedy racist and corrupt practices in law enforcement and to safeguard our civil rights. He can challenge the Philly DA’s outrageous pursuit of Mumia’s execution and Governor Rendell’s promise to sign the death warrant. A civil rights investigation could lead to Mumia’s release!

Co-sponsors (in formation): ICFFMAJ, Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition (NYC), Peace and Justice Foundation, Families United For Justice in America, WESPAC, International Action Center, Campaign to End the Death Penalty, Nat Turner Rebellion, Black August Planning Committee, National Lawyers Guild – NYC Chapter, Iglesia San Romero (UCC), ANSWER, The Jericho Movement (National), Albany Political Prisoner Support Committee

a poem for Neda , by Davoud Bahrami

June 25th, 2009 · No further remarks

I couldn’t fall asleep last night
the drunken laughter of Khomeini
Deep down
From his sticky tomb
Was too loud

Neda,
When your blood
Shed the love worshiping ground of Iran
Still, I thought he was dead

The blush burst of the sun
On the impatient sky
At dawn, suddenly
Reminded me
Of his raised long cracked glass
Overfilled with the blood of Iranian youth
Commemorating Mohammad’s invasion
1,400 past years
And his grim smile toasting
At each cry of Allah-o Akbar

It is now another lovely day
And you are absent at your philosophy class
I wonder if it had made any difference
If you’d double majored in history
Would you had seen the innumerous Neda’s blood
Dripping from his fangs?

Davoud Bahrami
