It's urgent that we come together for the freedom of Mumia, as he faces medical neglect on serious health complications, including congestive heart disease, liver damage, a severe chronic skin condition, and recent recovery from COVID-19.

All hands on deck to #FreeMumia

Known as "the voice of the voiceless" for many years of speaking out about issues relating to working class people of color, prisoners, and more, he was targeted and framed for the murder of a cop in 1981. He was convicted on perjured testimony and manufactured evidence.

Mumia is a former Black Panther, MOVE supporter, organizer and inspiration for the prison lawyers movement, award-winning journalist and author of several books and hundreds of columns and articles.

#RDTW is more than a 5K, it's a day to amplify voices of comrades behind bars and lift them up in their struggles.

Over the last 3 years we've raised $17,952 for current and former political prisoners. Let's do it again this year!

Join us Monday June 28th, 6:30pm at Clark Park! We’ll be making art and writing letters to Indigenous Yaqui land defender and #PoliticalPrisoner Fidencio Aldama Perez

We will also send birthday cards to a political prisoner with a birthday in July: Gage Halupowski.

The news hit hard yesterday when we were informed of the passing of #ConsuewellaAfrica, nearly one year to the day when we lost #DelbertAfrica. Consuewella’s passing is heartbreaking, especially after the devastation the Move family has already been going through the past couple months.

We send our sincere condolences, love and solidarity to all of the Move family and supporters. #RestInPower Consuewella. You will never be forgotten.
