On Tuesday, April 24th 2007 hundreds gathered at the American Friends Service Committee in Philadelphia on Mumia's birthday to mobilize for his highly anticipated oral arguments scheduled for May 17th.  We would like to thank and congratulate all who came, including Danny Glover, Sgt. DeLacy Davis, Linn Washington Jr., Harold Wilson, Lynne Stewart and others, to show their uncompromising support as they did so in the face of a large FOP protest and building police terror which has resulted in death threats and extreme intimidation throughout the last few weeks.  Your continued support is recognized and appreciated.

POLICE TERROR FORCES THE CLEF CLUB TO CLOSE ITS DOORS TO MUMIA’S BIRTHDAY EVENT

The April 24 Birthday event featuring Danny Glover, Sonia Sanchez, DeLacy Davis and many others will go on as planned, AT A NEW LOCATION, THE AFSC ON 15th AND CHERRY STREETS.

After receiving threats and undergoing extreme intimidation from the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) and its allies, on April 11th the board of directors to the Clef Club  voted to cancel its scheduled event to be held on Mumia’s upcoming  birthday.  As a result the program itself WILL NOT BE CANCELLED, BUT MOVED TO THE AFSC ON 15th AND CHERRY STREETS. 

While the FOP and their supporters declare this as a victory, in reality it is nothing more than a desperate and cowardly display of corrupt and violent police power, leading up to the Third Circuit’s Oral Arguments which will happen on May 17th in Philadelphia.  This type of police terror is predictable and in no way new to the movement to Free Mumia.  In New York City, the FOP alongside of the NYPD have issued threats and 16 citations against the Remote Lounge - the Club which was scheduled to host “Mumia 911". Fearing that his family would be in danger by the police, and in outrage over the citations, the owner opted out and was forced to cancel the show which was relocated to the IAC on 55 West 17th Street.   

TAKE A STAND AGAINST POLICE TERROR ON APRIL 24!
ALL OUR FOR MUMIA ON MAY 17!
