The call of the Global Women's Strike this year, for an 'End to Poverty and War'; for 'Investments in Caring Not Killing!'; for 'A Living Wage for All Our Work!', could not come at a better time.

URGENT...URGENT...URGENT

Dear friends,

Below is a legal update from Robert R Bryan, lead counsel for Mumia Abu-Jamal. As you may know, Mumia Abu-Jamal, an award winning journalist, has been on Pennsylvania’s death row for 27 years after having been convicted for killing a police officer, in a trial dripping with racism and other injustice.

Robert Bryan’s update reports that in the coming week the Supreme Court will decide whether or not to confirm the death penalty against Mumia.

This is an article on Mumia Abu-Jamal, the journalist who has been on Pennsylvania’s death row for over 25 years and who the Global Women’s Strike (GWS, London and Philadelphia) and Legal Action for Women in particular have been working with. In the hard copy, Mr Abu-Jamal’s photo was full size taking up the whole of the front page of the second section of the newspaper. The article appeared with one other full page photo.
