Saturday, 12/11, Campaign to Free Oscar Lopez Information‏

Hola Companero/a,

As you know, we have been in an intense campaign to collect 40,000 petitions
requesting the release of Puerto Rican political prisoner Oscar Lopez River. The
National Boricua Human Rights Network has begun to mail the petitions to the U.S.
Parole Commission and know that many have already been received.

Urgent! If you have been collecting letters, we need to get those petitions as soon
as possible (by the end of this weekend, if possible) so we can mail them in bulk.
There are some ways of doing this:

--come to our event this Saturday and bring the petitions
--make arrangements so we can get the petitions from you – let me know and we’ll
figure it out.

If you can’t do either of the above, you can mail them directly to the parole
commission, but contact me for important information.

Please join us this Saturday, December 11 to learn more about the campaign and help
strategize and intensify our campaign for Oscar Lopez’s release.

Time - 12:30pm - 2:00pm

In the evening, there is a free concert at Hostos Community College, 149 Street and

Help us get the 40,000 petitions; get involved in growing the movement until Oscar
comes home!

Gracias,


Carmen
