Our powerful movement has prevented Mumia’s execution three times, and finally got him removed from death row and isolation into the general prison population.
Now, as our movement continues to grow,
we have begun planning for a major multi-day event:
THE CELEBRATION OF LIFE FESTIVAL
APRIL 24TH-26TH 2014
PHILADELPHIA, PA
HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
MUMIA’S 60TH BIRTHDAY DINNER
(April 24th, 6 PM – 9:30 PM)
Featuring a special tribute to the Baraka Family and
the Black Arts Movement, with special guest Cornel West,
call-ins by Angela Davis (skype) and Mumia Abu-Jamal (phone),
and performances by numerous artists and musicians.
SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE REVOLUTION MARCH
(April 26th, 10 AM – 11:30 AM)
March from the former Philadelphia Black Panther Party headquarters
to the Celebration of Life Block Party at the Church of the Advocate.
CELEBRATION OF LIFE BLOCK PARTY
(April 26th, 11 AM – 6:30 PM)
Featuring Immortal Technique, Dead Prez, Rebel Diaz, and others,
incredible speakers and workshops,
