=======================Dear Friends,
This is our last call to those who might want to join us for an exciting day of being with Mumia supporters who have just come off a very productive week at the NAACP convention in NYC, and convincing Congressional Black Caucus members and others who have shown any sign of supporting a civil rights investigation for Mumia to join our campaign. Pam Africa and others will be coming from Philadelphia.
The bus is free BUT is only available to those who have participated in the required training, scheduled for FRIDAY NIGHT, FROM 6 PM TO 9M, AND COORDINATED BY ESPERANZA MARTELL in conjunction with the Coalition. We will be holding the training at St. Mary's Church, 521 West 126th Street, either in the basement or the sanctuary. Look forward to seeing you there and working with you on Wednesday the 22nd. Ona Move!
Suzanne, for the Coalition
