EMERGENCY ACTION NEEDED NOW: MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD FOR MUMIA - He has COVID and NO MEDICAL ATTENTION

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Greetings All!

In case you thought that because you've finally gotten rid of T-rump, things will ordinarily go back to normal - guess again!

You cannot normalize 4 years of crazy with just a swipe of a pen and a change of regime. It's going to take our concerted efforts and vigilance to make sure that our rights are not only restored, but enhanced and protected.

There is a saying that "Justice delayed, is justice denied."

And America has a very bad habit of dragging her feet, procrastinating, and obviating jurisprudence when it comes to their own perpetrators. We have a known criminal who should been thrown under the jail for starting a riot in the Nations Capitol, allowed to roam free spreading disension and sedition.

In the meantime our brother Mumia, who was clearly framed for a crime he didn't commit, who spoke and speaks for Black people is being tortured in the name of "justice." He is held hostage in a political prison, and exposed to every kind of vile, inhumane treatment that would cause the perpetrators to be incarcerated themselves for such offences.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK I'M INCORRECT, JUST LOOK AT THE FORMER PREDITOR IN CHIEF WHO HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO WALK AWAY FROM THE January 6 ASSAULT ON THE CAPITOL, AND NOW IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO SPEW OUT HIS EVIL AS THOUGH HE HAD DONE NOTHING WRONG. HE IS ALLOWED TO WALK FREE, ADDRESS FECKLESS IGNORANT RACISTS, AND CONTINUE TO FAN THE FLAMES OF GOVERNMENT OVERTHROW AS THOUGH IT WAS PERFECTLY OKAY.

OR WHAT ABOUT THE SADISTIC ERSATZ POLICEMAN WHO STOOD ON THE NECK OF GEORGE FLOYD IN BROAD DAYLIGHT AND REMAINED ON HIS NECK ON CAMERA IN FRONT OF WITNESSES UNTIL THE BROTHER DIED IN VIEW OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE - AND WHERE IS THE TRIAL THAT WOULD GIVE HIM THE DEATH SENTENCE HE DESERVES FOR COLD BLOODED MURDER?

Though the flyer says that today, MARCH 1, 2021 IS THE DAY OF OUTRAGE - since I only just received it myself, I don't feel we should be held to one day, but consistently keep up our outrage until MUMIA IS GIVEN THE MEDICAL TREATMENT HE DESERVES AS A HUMAN BEING.

SO LET'S MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD MARCH 1, 2,3,4,5,6,7 ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE 31st - END OF THE MONTH.

MAKE OUR VOICES HEART IN WASHINGTON DC - STOP THE TORTURE!!

MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD INTERNATIONALLY - AMERICA IS TORTURING INNOCENT PRISONERS

THIS MUST STOP!NOW!!!

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!!!!

DO NOT SIT ON THIS

SPEAK OUT AGAINST THIS ATROCIOUS, INHUMANE ABOMINABLE MISTREATMENT OF A VALIANT HEROIC BLACK MAN!!

GUEST POST - MEDIUM: Mumia Abu-Jamal Gets A Celebrity Endorsement from Colin Kaepernick

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Hello All:

Maroon the Placable: An Ailing Russell Maroon Schoatz Has COVID, While Mumia Abu-Jamal Gets A Celebrity Endorsement from Colin Kaepernick

Todd Steven Burroughs

Can activists who fight against hegemony win against time? Monday’s press conference by the “Free Mumia” folks — where Johanna Fernandez, the Young Lords scholar and the movement’s de-facto leader, announced that another political prisoner -author, Russell “Maroon” Schoatz, has added COVID to his stage-four cancer health challenges — produced a great summary of the injustices suffered by the Panther-journalist-cum-Black Howard Zinn, but it just seemed to be filler as the Colin Kaepernick endorsement was uploaded.

That was okay, because, as you will see below, there were decades of injustices against Mumia Abu-Jamal to fill.

Kaepernick, already a darling of the Left, will get even more fans among the MOVE-ment after his successful recitation of the now-standard Abu-Jamal activist script. (Be patient below, there was a technical glitch and the group had to play much of it over)

Monday’s attempt to get cyberspace’s first political prisoner trending again has more importance than in past decades. Abu-Jamal is now a senior citizen (66 years, almost 40 of them escaping death from the state in one form or another), and there has already been one COVID scare surrounding him — fake, yes, but still scary. The “Free Mumia” movement has peaked and valleyed over the past 25 years — a quarter of a century of radical belief expressed by rallies, books, documentaries, press conferences, press packets, puppets, marches, documentary films, MSM TV and radio stories on him that get harshly criticized, petitions, print Op-Eds and radio. Seemingly, the goal now is to get him (and Shoatz, and others) out before they fall into the dark abyss that bridges old age and death — the space where the MOVE 9’s Delbert Africa and too many others were wedged into by that fatal mixture of white supremacy and Black history.

When the NFL martyr said that “Mumia Abu-Jamal has been in jail longer than I’ve been alive,” it reminded me how long Abu-Jamal has been free and in jail. Whether or not you think Abu-Jamal, Shoatz or any of these others are guilty or innocent may be beyond the point: that the freest Black people on this side of the Atlantic and the other side of Angela Davis’ historical veil — possibly the freest people to exist in the past 100 years — are going to be gone very soon.

They have been anthologized and commodified, quoted and imaged. They are the radical’s equivalent of the images on American currency — a real attempt to de-colonize minds occupied with a million channels.

They are being reached for in a last gasp for radical authenticity before the 21st century completely takes over and Black radicalism will be defined as the space between the Rev. Al Sharpton and those radicals funded by Oprah Winfrey and George Soros. All well-meaning, but soon no one will know the difference between real mayonnaise and Miracle Whip. The only “freedom” Abu-Jamal, Shoatz and others enjoy in the COVID era is the escape from the contradiction that overwhelms America, as AKAs and Howardites prepare their American banners, hegemony absorbing just a little bit more of the inclusive fantasy of the former slave.

Fernandez, Pam Africa, Angela Davis, Linn Washigton Jr. and now Kaepernick are determined to juggle the intellectual Molotov cocktails for as long as they can. Because if they drop them, they won’t explode on the ground; instead, they’ll just melt into the Twitter ether.
