Last Saturday's Emergency National Conference to Save Mumia Abu-Jamal was attended by 650 people from the U.S., Canada, England, France, Germany, Norway, and Japan. A report from this conference is being prepared, but a major concern of the conference was the coming period leading up to the federal district court hearing on Mumia's petition to have his state court conviction overturned.
As Mumia's lead counsel, Leonard Weinglass put it, the next 90 days are the critical period in Mumia's legal battle. The conference planned and endorsed a range of stepped up activities, including the February 28 civil disobedience actions on both coasts, an emergency national mobilization to Philadelphia on the first day of Mumia's court appearance, the May 7 rally at Madison Square Garden, and the May 13 West Coast mobilization.
