Support Chip Fitzgerald for parole

[Moorbey]

Romaine Chip Fitzgerald, the longest held U.S.
political prisoner is due for a parole hearing in the
next few months. We are asking all comrades to support
Chip by signing a petition on his behalf.

Chip is a former member of the Southern California
Black Panther Party. He has been incarcerated since
1969 for altercation that took place with a CHP
officer during a traffic stop. Chip and several
Panthers defended themselves against an officer who
later admitted he had orders to shoot and kill any and
all Panthers. During the altercation, the officer was
shot and Chip managed to flee.

When arrested for the incident several weeks later, he
was informed that he was also being charge for a
murder of a security guard during a robbery in a Vons
market in Los Angeles. Chip has steadfast denied the
murder charge, but was sentence life in prison for
both incidents.

Please support our comrade, sign the petition:

About - Free CHip Fitzgerald



Romaine "Chip" Fitzgerald, born and raised in Compton, California, joined the Southern California Chapter of the Black Panther Party in early 1969, a teenager who had just been released from the California Youth Authority. In September of that year, as a dedicated member of the Party, Chip was arrested in connection with a police shoot-out and tried for assault on police and related charges, including the murder of a security guard. He was sentenced to death.

Ultimately, his sentence was commuted to life with parole. He has been in prison for nearly 40 years now.

Chip's dedication to the cause of the liberation of black and all oppressed people has not wavered through all the years of his brutal incarceration.
