CALL TO ACTION- FREE THE PRISONERS- MARCH W/ FTP MOVEMENT


words by Taj

Greetings Family,

FTP Movement will be taking part in the 2010 King Memorial March in downtown Atlanta. We will be in full support of political prisoners, such as Jamil Al-Amin, Mutulu Shakur, Mumia Abu Jamal, Sekou Odinga, Kamau Sadiki, Veronza Bowers, Move 9 and Sundiata Acoli to name a few. We are asking that you wear black as a sign of solidarity. You also may want to wear gloves because we will be carrying pickets and signs. Also, if you would like you can assist by donating poster boards and/or markers or creating signs that are in line with our theme.

Please email taj anwar at taj@mobbb.org if you wish to walk with us, respond to the Evite, Facebook invite, or on www.ftpmovement.ning.com. WE ARE MEETING ON THE CORNER OF ELLIS & PEACHTREE- WHERE THE RITZ CARLTON IS) Feel free to pass this along to those you think would be interested.

What is a Political Prisoner? A political prisoner is someone who was targeted and imprisoned because of his or her political actions, affiliations and/or beliefs.

Why Should They Be Supported? They should be supported because these individuals were committed to confronting the oppression and exploitation in their communities that
made their lives and the lives of their neighbors intolerable.



POWER!
