Hello all on the Melbourne Mumia list and Left Link
It is time for some urgent coordinated action in Melbourne to build the
movement to stop the execution of Mumia.
The Freedom Socialist Party proposes that we hold a united front Emergency
Stop the Execution rally in Melbourne.
Given the Mumia solidarity movement is not as big and well developed
locally as it is in the U.S., we propose that a little lead time is
required to build it. But we don't have much time!
Proposed date: Saturday 13 November at noon.
Proposed venue: GPO
Proposed action: Speak out style protest rally with union movement and
Aboriginal movement speakers. That we leaflet shoppers and ask people top
sign a stop the execution petition. Also, that we aim to get media
coverage, including in the U.S.
We would like to work with others to organise this using the Melbourne
Millions for Mumia Worldwide name and listing other organisational and
individual endorsers.
We're doing a mailout this weekend and will include a rally announcement in
it if we know that others agree with the thrust of this proposal.. Given
the gravity of the situation, we don't want to see several tiny and
ineffectual protests when, with a little coordination, the left could work
together and do a good job.
Get back to us right away with opinions, endorsements etc. We especially
need to know RIGHT NOW if any other groups have already started organising
something. If they have, speak out now and we can all put our efforts
behind any organising which has already commenced.
Yours in solidarity

day? Let us know about what's happening in your city.
