I am a Freedom Fighter who took up arms to support and defend an International Movement for Human Rights, Self Determination, Justice and Dignity for all Peoples.
Along the way in my political development I read many accounts of struggle. Histories, biographies, etcetera. Included in this reading was the case of Sacco and Vanzetti. Two political activists whose sham of a trial and sentences of death early in this century drew worldwide support and protest.
They were executed in spite of all that support and protest. Only to be exonerated fifty years too late by the governor of Massachusetts.
I also read the case of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg. Two political activists whose sham of a trial and sentences of death in the middle of this century drew worldwide support and protest.
They were executed in spite of all that support and protest. We know they were innocent of the charges used to condemn them.
These people - Sacco and Vanzetti, the Rosenbergs - were not singled out and murdered for the individuals who they were. But because of the hopes and dreams of the millions of poor and working-class people they represent. Through these individuals the ruling class and its state apparatus persecute all of us.
Just as they are now doing at the end of this century, through the person of Mumia Abu-Jamal. This is why we say ...
"Mumia is all of us!"
As a movement, we must support Mumia, and defend ourselves, "By Any Means Necessary!" Before the oppressors can do their worst.
Dare to Struggle - Dare to Win!
FREE MUMIA !!!
