————————————————————————————————————————————— Volunteer with an organizing committee: You can Contact Us at one of the local organizing committees, and we can work together to deterine ways in which you would like to lend us your time, passion, skills, and expertise. ————————————————————————————————————————————— Organize and/or host an event: You can host an event at your home, or organize one in your church, school, union, community center, or other local venue. We have developed materials available on our website, such as informational documents about Mumia’s case. We also have produced DVDs containing multiple videos about the case, which we can be used to organize a screening in your community. And we look forward to working with you to develop additional informational flyers, brochures, and other materials to publicize and raise awareness of Mumia’s wrongful incarceration. We can help you organize forums, discussions, press conferences, concerts and other creative performances, rallies, protests, and marches. You can also write articles or letters to the editor about Mumia’s case and submit it to your community newspaper, many of whom are starved for content. We also encourage supporters to develop new creative and innovative strategies for raising public awareness about Mumia’s case and its deep connection to police terrorism in Philadelphia and elsewhere. Mumia and the MOVE 9 are just prominent examples of US political prisoners and other victims of programs such as Cointelpro which continue to target radical activists, leaders, and groups with police and FBI infiltration, disinformation, frame-ups, and murder. ————————————————————————————————————————————— Writing to Mumia and to other political prisoners: Writing to Mumia Abu-Jamal and to other political prisoners is one of the key ways that you can help sustain them in their struggle to resist the torture of isolation and the brutality of the prison system. Knowing that people care about and support them in their struggles, both political and personal, is invaluable in helping them maintain their dignity, resolve, and sense of connection to the communities which they are struggling for. In this way, you can lend your support to leaders like Mumia Abu-Jamal, who has survived over 30 years of death-row isolation and torture, and has never waivered in his commitment to the movement, to the struggle for his community – writing numerous books and commentaries, as well as providing the wealth of audio commentaries available at the: Mumia Radio Essay Podcast and Prison Radio websites.
