LEONARD PELTIER STATEMENT IN SOLIDARITY
WITH MUMIA ABU-JAMAL
Greetings Friends, supporters, and Mumia,
I know that this must be a sad and frustrating time for you as the
negative defeats that we have received in my case have been to us. I
know it is easy for me and others to tell you not to give up the fight. I
personally understand and know the feeling many times through this
twenty-three years of wanting to say the hell with it and give up--
believing that there is no way to defeat this evil empire. Sometimes it
just seems hopeless.
When this happens I am always reminded by my courageous
supporters, like those of you who are here today, that to accept defeat
is not a warrior's way.
As long as the people have not accepted defeat, neither will we. So I
would like to encourage you to stay strong and continue the fight until
Mumia is victorious.
It is an outrage that the courts continue to ignore blatant evidence and
continue to play legal games with our lives. This insanity is a huge
insult, not only to those of us who remain unjustly imprisoned, but to all
of you who dedicate your lives to our freedom and are ignored by the
corporate owned justice system and media.
I want to encourage supporters to intensify the struggle for Mumia's
life.
I know you can stop this execution because no matter how evil a
government may be they still cannot defeat the power of the people.
Your work and help is needed more than ever. We must now live and
breathe Mumia's case twenty-four hours a day.
If we are able in unity to stop the execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal, we
are not only saving the life of the man who speaks for those who are not
often heard and who's stories are rarely told, but you are saving all of us
who remain unjustly behind bars from the depths of hopelessness.
FREE MUMIA ABU-JAMAL!
In The Spirit of Crazy Horse
Leonard Peltier
