"War, ultimately, is fought for the wealthy, the well-to-do, the established, with the working class and poor doing the lion's share of the fighting and dying. It has nothing to do with patriotism, for the rich and super-rich know no nationality higher than capital. Think of these things when you hear the siren's song of globalism; it is but a call for more war, more poverty, more exploitation and more death".
Mumia Abu Jamal : Feb 2002

"Amnesty's position is that the emergency now is to keep Mumia alive, to prevent an execution that can happen. Many people are under the impression that Mumia will never be executed because he is so famous and because he has a very strong network of supporters. I wouldn't be that confident after having been confronted with the callousness of the criminal justice system in this country... We have to make sure that he's not executed."
Pierre Sané, Secretary General of Amnesty International

"On the basis of racial profiling Amadou Diallo was seen as someone who was suspicious and dangerous, a threat to the system. Mumia Abu Jamal was a victim of political profiling. He was seen as a threat because of his political beliefs, his political ideas and his staunch advocacy on the part of civil rights and human rights and on behalf of Black and poor people, oppressed people in this country and around the world. Mumia Abu-Jamal will be a victim of government sanctioned murder, unless we the people stop the execution."
Ron Daniels, Executive Director
Center for Constitutional Rights

"A rare and courageous voice speaking from a place we fear to know: Mumia Abu Jamal must be heard."
