The Mobilization to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal will be meeting on Saturday
morning, December 2nd, at 10:30am at 298 Valencia St. The Mobe will be
reporting on important news in the struggle to free Mumia, as critical oral
arguments will be presented in a hearing in the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals
early in 2007. At the meeting, plans will also be made for next February's
visit that Lynne Stewart and Center for Constitutional Rights President
Michael Ratner will make to the Bay Area. At events in Berkeley, San
Francisco, San Jose, and Palo Alto, they will raise funds and consciousness
for Mumia's and Lynne's legal and political defenses.
