Today @ 11AM!
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC -- at the Dept of Justice (DOJ)

On April 24, 2012, Mumia Abu-Jamal’s 58th birthday, we will gather at the Department of Justice in Washington D.C and amplify our formal request that Attorney General Eric Holder meet with a delegation to discuss police corruption and civil rights violations.

Short term goal: release Mumia. Long term goal: end mass incarceration.
