Please join us on Saturday, November 28th to stand in solidarity with Dr
Mutulu Shakur before his appeals hearing on Monday, November 30th at the
super-maximum Federal prison in Florence, CO.

Dr. Shakur is a New Afrikan (Black) man whose primary work has been in the
area of health. He is a doctor of acupuncture and one of the most
prolific, committed and conscious freedom fighters and political prisoners
to whom the Black liberation struggle has given birth.

Since the age 16, Dr. Shakur has been a part of the New Afrikan
Independence Movement. As a part of this movement Dr. Shakur has been a
target of the illegal Counterintelligence Program carried out by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (COINTELPRO). This was a secret police
strategy used in the U.S. starting in the 1960's to destroy and neutralize
progressive and revolutionary organizations. It is believed that Dr.
Shakur's resistance to this program led to his arrest and trial.

"Straight ahead, stiff resistance"
