Word has come from Political Prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal’s support committees that he may have contracted the COVID-19 Coronavirus. Officials at the Mahanoy Prison where he is being held claim he has tested negative, but those reports are questioned because he is suffering from shortness of breath and chest pains, according to reports.
A mass rally was held Saturday, February 27 at Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s office at 12 noon, and a mass call-in to Krasner’s office as well as those of Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf and Mahanoy Prison Superintendent Bernadette Mason was organized on Monday, March 1.

Continuing Organizing for Mumia at the University of California Santa Cruz
On Friday, February 26, a special Zoom call was held, The Case of Mumia Abu-Jamal.
The event featured guest speakers Pam Africa and Johanna Fernandez, and a screening of Dr. Fernandez’s film, Justice On Trial. Students and community members spoke about Mumia’s graduate student status, the institutional lack of support Mumia is experiencing from his currently incarcerated position and how we can powerfully unite in the call for his immediate release. The event was sponsored by the UC Santa Cruz Mumia Abu-Jamal Support Collective out of the west coast. For more information about this program, contact them by email at ucscmumia@gmail.com
