DESCRIPTION:The Labor Action Committee To Free Mumia Abu-Jamal urges you to attend a 
 public meeting\n\nDEFEND JR VALREY!\n\nJAIL KILLER COPS!    FREE MUMIA 
 ABU-JAMAL!\n\nJustice for Oscar Grant!      Drop All Charges Against JR 
 Valrey!\n\nFor Labor Action To Free Mumia Abu-Jamal!      End the Racist 
 Death Penalty!\n\nVIDEO: \n\n"OPERATON SMALL AXE," narrated by JR Valrey, a 
 short film that shows  "the occupation of Black and Brown neighborhoods by 
 a militarized local law enforcement apparatus that parallels, in many ways, 
 the current experiences of neighborhoods of color in post-apartheid South 
 Africa and of Palestinians on their own occupied land." -- Cynthia 
 McKinney\n\nSPEAKERS: \n\nJR Valrey, Minister of Information for the 
 Prisoners of Conscience Committee (POCC), host of Block Report Radio, a 
 producer at KPFA and associate editor of the SF Bay View\n\nGerald Sanders, 
 Labor Action Committee To Free Mumia Abu-Jamal\n\nJack Bryson, father of 
 two friends of Oscar Grant, who were with him on the BART platform the 
 night he was murdered, and\n\nRichard Brown, former SF 8 defendant.\n\n     
 JR Valrey was arrested by Oakland Police on the night of January 7th, 2009, 
 and had his camera confiscated, for covering the street uprising following 
 the police murder of Oscar Grant.  JR has consistently covered police 
 brutality and terrorism.  The bogus charge he faces: felony arson!\n\n     
 The BART cop who put a bullet in the back of the young Oscar Grant--while 
 Grant was lying face down on a BART platform--is Johannes Mehserle.  \n\n   
   With 45 police killings in Oakland in the past 5 years, Mehserle is the 
 only cop to be charged with murder while on duty.  But the cops are pulling 
 out all the stops to avoid a conviction.  With a starkly racist argument, 
 Mesherle’s lawyer has succeeded in getting the trial moved out of 
 Oakland!  \n\n     The next hearing date for JR is October 30th.  Come out 
 to show your opposition to this vindictive prosecution on trumped up felony 
 charges!  \n\n\n\nDefend JR Valrey!\n9 AM Friday Oct. 30th   Room 11, 
 Superior Court\n1225 Fallon St, Oakland\n\n\n\n\n     MUMIA ABU-JAMAL is an 
 award-winning journalist, and an innocent man on death row for 27 years! 
 Mumia's appeals have been exhausted, and he faces renewed danger of 
 execution.  The Supreme Court will rule soon on a petition by the State of 
 Pennsylvania to reinstate Mumia's death sentence.  The courts will not free 
 him--we  must organize mass and labor actions to FREE MUMIA!\n     \n\n\n--
