On Tuesday, June 19, Assembly Bill 931, the Police Accountability and Community Protection Act, will be heard in committee for the first time.

We need to let the Legislature know that higher standards for police use of force is critical to save lives—they must pass AB 931 out of the Senate Public Safety Committee. AB 931 will make it more difficult for CA police to justify violent use of force against our communities. Show up to Sacramento on June 19 to pack the room and deliver a short ‘me too’ statement to the Senators to voice your support.

The Fight to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal

A Fight Against Racist U.S. Capitalism

Mumia Abu-Jamal, former Black Panther, MOVE supporter and journalist known as the “voice of the voiceless,” is an innocent and framed political prisoner.

A new legal action against judicial bias in his appeals opens the door to Mumia’s freedom. The judge ordered the DA to release evidence from its files, but the prosecution continues its cover-up.

For 35 years, Mumia has challenged his racially biased and politically motivated conviction. Winning Mumia’s freedom would be a victory not only for him, but an inspiration and support to all those battling the injustices of U.S. imperialism. This struggle requires a mass movement with international labor support.

Join Us! Free Mumia!
