The Black is Back! Coalition's leaders and founding members span the spectrum of black political voices, from elected officials, to civil rights veterans, nationalists, socialists, civil libertarians, community activists, political prisoners, journalists, hip hop artists, and radio personalities. In this age of Obama, the newly formed Coalition aims to bring back the tradition of resistance historically associated with Black communities around the world.

The political paralysis now being experienced by anti-war and other progressive movements stems from the lack of a Black-led, anti-imperial movement that would off-set the traps set by Obama’s so-called “post-racial” politics that facilitate the same oppressive militarist agenda well known during the Bush regime. Black is Back is not simply a slogan for the African Diaspora but for all progressive struggles which have historically benefited from Black-led movements.

A civil rights investigation in the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal!
When do we need it?
Now!

Thursday, November 12

11 a.m. Press Conference
(location TBA)
Washington, D.C.

March to the Justice Department

1:30 pm Delivery of Letters to Attorney General Eric Holder at the Justice Department

We demand that the Justice Department conduct a civil rights investigation into the 28-year conspiracy—organized through police, prosecutorial, and judicial criminal misconduct—to railroad Mumia, an innocent man, to death. As U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, has the duty to monitor and remedy racist and corrupt practices in law enforcement and to safeguard our civil rights. He can challenge the Philly DA’s outrageous pursuit of Mumia’s execution and Governor Rendell’s promise to sight the death warrant. A civil rights investigation could lead to Mumia’s release!

Co-sponsors (in formation): International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia-Abu-Jamal, Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition--NYC, the Peace and Justice Foundation, Families United for Justice in America, WESPAC, International Action Center, Fight Imperialism, Stand Together (FIST), Campaign to End the Death Penalty, Nat Turner Rebellion, Black August Planning Committee, National Lawyers Guild—NYC Chapter, Iglesia San Romero (UCC)
