We
recognize that the persecution and death-row incarceration of Mumia
Abu-Jamal is a blatant attack on the working class and all victims of
oppression, for whom Jamal is such an eloquent spokesman. We also recognize
that relief for Mumia cannot be expected from the biased and racist
so-called "justice" system in this country. Furthermore, workers
have the power to free political prisoners such as Jamal through class-struggle
action against the bosses and their state.
We therefore constitute
the Labor Action Committee To Free Mumia Abu-Jamal as a united front
of groups and individuals, working within the labor movement, locally,
nationally and internatonally, and in solidarity with the Mobiliazation
To Free Mumia Abu-Jamal. We are dedicated to educating workers about
Jamal's case, and to promoting a class-struggle movement, including
strikes and other job actions wherever possible, to free Mumia Abu-Jamal!
