Social Media Packet 1: #ImWithKap4Mumia

By The Campaign to Bring Mumia Home

This is a social media campaign to get Mumia Abu-Jamal, one of the earliest political prisoners to have his case and voice widely shared online, back on a large online platform to get the truth out during this critical time in his case. Imprisonment should not be a death sentence under COVID-19. Now is the time for Mumia and all political and at risk prisoners to finally come home. 

The social media blast will take place:

Wed (11/25)  3PM EST and Thurs (11/26) 9AM/3PM EST 

This media packet is inspired by the  #FreeMaroon Social Media Kit. Russell Maroon Shoatz is another powerful freedom fighter and one of the longest held political prisoners who has stage 4 colon cancer and COVID-19. Please share their content and call Governor Wolf to demand that Maroon is freed immediately!

@Kaepernick7 joins Angela Davis and generations of activists in calling for the freedom of Mumia Abu-Jamal: an original Black Panther, author, intellectual, radio journalist, and elder, who was targeted by COINTELPRO and falsely imprisoned in 1981. 38 years later, Mumia continues to be a seminal voice for abolition. Writing 9 books and consistently releasing radio commentaries, Mumia has shifted the consciousness of generations of readers and listeners worldwide both inside and outside of prison walls. 

In 2018, several boxes of evidence were found hidden between two floors of the DA’s office, containing exculpatory evidence including two key notes. One where a key witness demanded “his money” from the Assistant DA and another indicating the race of each potential juror in Mumia’s case. Mumia and his lawyers have motioned for a retrial. Knowing this will expose their systematic corruption and racism, the Fraternal Order of Police are stalling the motion to stop Mumia’s path to freedom. 

Mumia Abu-Jamal, and all our incarcerated elders, deserve to return home and live out their lives with their communities. At this pivotal moment in the struggle for racial justice, our activist elders who paid a steep price for their conviction cannot be forgotten--indeed, their wisdom, perspectives, and experience are needed now more than ever. Join the millions around the world in the united call to Release Mumia Abu-Jamal, all Political Prisoners, elders and at-risk imprisoned people under COVID-19.
