On July 4th there will be a Liberation Demo for Mumia and against Oppression worldwide

On July 4th Secretary of State Colin Powell is being awarded the liberty medal. Last September Powell was scheduled to speak at the UN sponsored World Conference Against Racism. But the US decided not to send Powell, saying they didn't want to legitimize this world gathering by having him attend. They decided to send a low-level delegation to join the European and Israeli delegations. Then on Sept. 4th, after the conference had barely started the US delegation walked out, saying it could not tolerate discussion where Israel's intensifying brutality against the Palestinian people was being condemned.

There was another reason for the walkout. The US knew there would be discussion of racism in the US - racial profiling, the death penalty, roundups of black and latino kids for prisons, the systematic mistreatment of the Native American peoples. They decided to leave before their long criminal record of past slavery and modern national oppression could be paraded before the world.

So now Powell is getting a liberty medal? Not in our name!

Let's walk into the future with Mumia -- not the US flunkies of the world!

Next meeting is Thursday June 13th at the Friends Center 1501 Cherry St.

July 4th demo - at 10 am we will meet at Philly City Hall (W. Side) From there we will march and have a demonstration at noon.
