DESCRIPTION:Cops vs Free Speech\n\nHow police are threatening the right of free speech 
 of convicts, dissidents, and all of us!\n\nSpeakers: \n\nKeith Cook 
 (Mumia’s brother)\nCephus Johnson (Oscar Grant's uncle)\nEliot Grossman 
 (Former lawyer for Mumia) \n\nand others \n\nFilm showing: 
 \n\n“Manufacturing Guilt,”\nan expose of the frame-up of Mumia 
 Abu-Jamal\n\n\nEveryone, from black and Latino youth, anti-war activists, 
 labor militants and hip hop artists can be in the cross-hairs of the 
 police. Join the the Labor Action To Free Mumia Abu-Jamal, Prison Radio and 
 Oakland Teachers For Mumia to hear how police are targeting political 
 enemies with attempts to restrict free speech, including:\n\n•  New 
 “gag” law in Pennsylvania that seeks to silence prisoners. This law, 
 cobbled together in days following Mumia’s recorded presentation to a 
 commencement ceremony at Goddard College, is designed to “shut him up.” 
 The targets of this blatantly unconstitutional law, however, include all 
 prisoners convicted of violent crimes! \n\n• The  suppression of the 
 “Urban Dreams” web site by the Oakland School Board. This 
 teacher-created site included one voluntary curriculum comparing the 
 suppression of Mumia’s commentaries with censorship of Martin Luther 
 King’s later writings. \n\nBoth of these measures were taken at the 
 behest of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), a highly politicized 
 organization which seeks to silence social critics such as Mumia Abu-Jamal, 
 and dictate the curricula in schools!  \n\n\n7 pm Friday Dec. 5th
