DESCRIPTION:April 10, 2015\n\nRALLY TODAY, 4/10, at OAKLAND FEDERAL BLDG, 4PM\n\n\nSTOP 
 the EXECUTION of Mumia Abu-Jamal BY MEDICAL NEGLECT!\n\nDON’T LET THE 
 STATE MURDER ANOTHER BLACK LEADER!\n\nNATIONAL DAY OF ACTIONS TO SAVE MUMIA 
 \n\n\nStopped from carrying out the death penalty against Mumia Abu-Jamal 
 by a world-wide movement that spanned three decades, over the past three 
 months the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections has been attempting to 
 execute him by medical neglect.\n\nOn March 30th Abu-Jamal was rushed, 
 unconscious, to the Schuylkill Medical Center in Pottsville, Pa. suffering 
 diabetic shock with a dangerously high blood sugar level of 779.   After 
 just two days in the hospital’s ICU, Abu-Jamal was returned to the prison 
 infirmary at SCI Mahanoy in Frackville, Pa. into the hands of the very same 
 doctors whose medical neglect and mistreatment nearly killed him.\n\nPrison 
 officials initially denied visits by family members, supporters and 
 Abu-Jamal’s attorneys, and only backed down after receiving thousands of 
 calls. Those able to visit Mumia on Apr. 3 and Apr. 6 reported he was 
 extremely weak, had lost 50 pounds, still suffered from skin rashes and 
 still had fluctuating blood sugar levels around 200.  The prison continues 
 to feed him meals high in carbohydrates – including cake for 
 breakfast.\n\nThe murder of aging political prisoners by denying them 
 adequate health care has happened before.  Earlier this year MOVE 9 member 
 Phil Africa died under suspicious circumstances at SCI Dallas.  The lack of 
 standard medical treatment impacts all prisoners, particularly those over 
 55.\n\nWe are demanding that the state of Pennsylvania cease and desist in 
 their attempts to murder political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal.\n\n \n—   
 Allow daily visits by Mumia’s family, friends, and attorneys. Their 
 support and protection in this time of vulnerability should not be 
 restricted.\n\n—    Allow Mumia’s choice of specialist doctors to 
 examine and schedule treatment for him – NOW. There is precedent in 
 Pennsylvania for this. Prisoner, John E. du Pont, an heir to the du Pont 
 chemical fortune, was allowed care by private doctors.\n\n—    Release 
 Mumia’s medical records to his attorneys\n\n—    Mumia is innocent and 
 should never have been incarcerated. We demand his immediate release. \n 
 \n\nWe are calling on everyone concerned to participate in the following 
 actions:\n\n1)   Twitter widely using the hashtags #mumiamustlive  
 #saveMumia #Blacklivesmatter\n\n2) Call, fax and email the following state 
 officials to raise the above demands:\n\n-        DOC Secretary John Wetzel 
 at 717-728-4109; padocsecretary@pa.gov\n \n-        PA Governor Tom Wolf at 
 717-787-2500; fax: 717-772-8284 or governor@pa.gov\n\n-        Prison 
 Superintendent John Kerestes at 570-773-2158; contactdoc@pa.gov\n\n3) On 
 FRIDAY APRIL 10 – Organize a demonstration in your city, on your campus 
 – wherever you can get word out to stop this attempt to murder 
 Mumia\n\n\nWe need to SHUT IT DOWN FOR MUMIA! \n\nwww.bringmumiahome.com |
