 763-2347\n\nOn the night before Mumia's Third Circuit Court hearing last 
 November, filmmaker Johanna Fernandez (Justice On Trial, the Case of Mumia 
 Abu-Jamal), and lawyer Michael Coard, debated Mumia's opponents.  Seth 
 Williams, the new Philadelphia District Attorney, and Tigre Hill, a 
 pro-police filmmaker, were roundly defeated in a forum n Philadelphia.  
 Hill left his chair, and DA Williams repeatedly refused to consider any new 
 evidence in the case.\n\nDVD Showing, and Question, Answer & 
 Discussion,\nwith the Labor Action Committee To Free Mumia 
 Abu-Jamal\n\nSpeaker: Cristina Gutierrez,\nLabor, Black, and Brown People 
 United \nAgainst Police Brutality and State Repression\n\nMumia's Case 
 Hangs By a Thread:   \n\nMumia Abu-Jamal, an innocent man on death row, 
 could be one court decision away from the needle of death.  Framed for a 
 crime he didn’t commit because of his Black Panther background, and his 
 bold stand against police brutality and racism as a Philadelphia journalist 
 in the 1970’s, Mumia has been on death row for nearly 30 years.  Now the 
 Supreme Court has an appeal before it, filed by Seth Williams, 
 Philadelphia’s first black District Attorney, to reinstate Mumia’s 
 death sentence.  His sentence was vacated by a federal judge in 2001 
 because of faulty instructions to the jury, but the Supreme Court has 
 signaled that it wants to weaken that precedent. A negative ruling will 
 lead to an immediate date with death, under Governor Ed Rendell, who is 
 himself complicit in Mumia’s frame-up!\n\nIn issue after issue, the 
 courts have shown for decades that the fix is in against Mumia.  Courts, 
 corrupt politicians and Fraternal Order of Police, all want him dead.  
 Mountains of evidence, including witness recantations, physical evidence, 
 and the confession of another man, show that Mumia is innocent.  But he’s 
 an outspoken, uncompromising black revolutionary journalist, and the US Jim 
 Crow justice system just wants another lynching.\n\nThe Labor Action 
 Committee To Free Mumia Abu-Jamal has no confidence in the capitalist 
 courts to free Mumia.  This is the job of the working class, black, brown 
 and white, through labor actions and mass mobilizations.  In 1995, mass 
 actions stopped a death order against Mumia, and in 1999, longshore workers 
 shut down ports on the entire West Coast to free him.  Teachers in Rio de 
 Janeiro, Oakland, and other cities also conducted work actions.\n\nNow, we 
 must mobilize again to free Mumia, and end the racist death 
 penalty!\n\n"The Great Debate" DVD Showing • 7 pm • Friday, 23
