Mumia's New Book On Jailhouse Lawyers

"More Than A Book Party" events to be held around US, marking the March release

Purchase Jailhouse Lawyers: Prisoners Defending Prisoners v. the U.S.A., directly from City Lights Books. Read the foreword by former political prisoner Angela Y. Davis and an interview with Mumia about his new book. In Mumia's words, "This is the story of law learned, not in the ivory towers of multi-billion-dollar endowed universities, but in the bowels of the slave-ship, in the hidden, dank dungeons of America."

"More Than A Book Party" events will be held in the US around April 24, to mark Mumia's birthday and the release of Jailhouse Lawyers. Read more about events in: Philadelphia, NYC, and Oakland.

Watch Journalists for Mumia's video report from the Dec. 6 protest in Philadelphia, along with extended video footage of the presentation at the 13th and Locust crime scene (download the accompanying presentation flyer or view the online version) and the DVD video shown at Dec.6 events around the US: "Fighting for Mumia's Freedom: a report from Philadelphia".

On Dec. 19, 2008, Mumia filed his appeal to the US Supreme Court, asking it to consider his case for a new guilt-phase trial. Last month, the Philadelphia DA filed its separate appeal to the court asking to have Abu-Jamal executed without a new sentencing-phase trial. The deadline for Mumia to respond to the DA's appeal is January 21, 2009.
