The battle in the court of public opinion is about to heat up. Long Distance Revolutionary: A Journey With Mumia Abu-Jamal opens May 1 at the Avalon Theater in Washington DC and May 3 at the Ritz Bourse Landmark Theater in Center City Philadelphia. This definitive narrative takes you to the heart of Philadelphia and Mumia and shows why is he the most famous political prisoner in the world. Long Distance Revolutionary: A Journey With Mumia Abu-Jamal directed by Stephen Vittoria and produced by Noelle Hanrahan has opened to packed houses from coast to coast, earning rave reviews. Tracing the path of a brilliant journalist whose message cannot be silenced...Vittoria triumphantly heralds Abu-Jamal's return to the political scene as a rallying cry for an alternate political discourse. — Variety Coverage of public discourse in the United States often makes it seem as if the only ideologies still in the game were the far right and the moderate everybody else. But Mumia: Long Distance Revolutionary is proof that there are still outspoken champions of views too radicalized to qualify as left-wing: people distrustful of law enforcement, the political system, the justice system, the news media and the very notion that America is at heart the land of the free. Getting a concentrated dose of activists like Angela Davis and Dick Gregory, academics like Cornel West and Michelle Alexander, is certainly a bracing change from the usual back-and-forth of the evening news. — The New York Times For more info and dates go HERE. Today, for a gift of $150 (special Eblast offer) you will receive the DVD of the Long Distance Revolutionary shipped the day it rolls off the presses June 11th.

Emergency Alert: Lynne Stewart In Grave Danger Just last week the warden of Carswell FCI agreed to forward the compassionate release petition to the DOJ. The time to increase the heat is now. Dear Friend, Imagine, you are 74 years old, wearing ten pounds of shackles from ankle to ankle, up to your hands and around your waist, while traveling on a prison bus to get chemotherapy for stage four lung cancer treatment. The odds of beating this type of cancer are very bad; they get a whole lot worse in a Texas prison. Lynne Stewart’s spirit is strong but the chemotherapy has made her weak. Her life is in grave danger, and she needs your help. As Lynne herself quipped “Well, getting old ain’t for sissies nor is chemo.” TAKE ACTION NOW! Sign The Petition! Compassion demands that Lynne Stewart be released immediately from prison so she and her family can fight for her life. In June, while receiving follow up care from surgery, doctors found evidence that cancer had spread to her lungs. Critical potentially lifesaving treatment was delayed for seven months. In April she started receiving treatment for advanced lung cancer. The government has until now not succeeded in silencing Lynne Stewart, but without your immediate assistance, they might succeed in killing her. As you may know, in an attempt to silence her, and because she continued to speak out, the government increased her initial sentence of 28 months to 10 years. Please take a moment to join Pete Seeger, Desmond Tutu, Dick Gregory and thousands of others. Get ten of your friends to sign the petition at lynnestewart.org for compassionate release today. “It is devastating, totally unbelievable. Is this in a democracy, the only superpower? I am sad. I will sign. Praying God’s blessing on your efforts” - Desmond Tutu "Lynne Stewart should be outa jail" - Pete Seeger MAJat SCI Mahanoy Listen to Mumia Abu-Jamal’s illuminating weekly essays on topics from American War Lust, Israel exceptionalism, Chinua Achebe, Environmentalism, Rehnquist’s Legacy, Russell Marroon Shoatz, Wages of Solitary, and many other breaking news topics.
