MUMIA NEEDS US AGAIN!

PLEASE SIGN Mumia Hepatitis C Petition to PA Gov Wolf

ALSO, PLEASE CALL, FAX, AND E-MAIL NOW!
Medical Malfeasance and
Deliberate Indifference at SCI-Mahanoy
are Killing Mumia Abu-Jamal

We are concerned about Mumia’s deteriorating health, as has been witnessed in recent weeks by his visiting doctor, clergy, counselors, teachers, family and friends.  Evidence of intensifying Hepatitis C symptoms and possible development of the diabetes that nearly killed him a year ago calls for immediate and appropriate treatment.
We, therefore, urge you to DEMAND:

1. Immediate provision to Mumia of anti-viral treatment to cure his Hepatitis C condition that is, as his doctor testified in court, the persistent cause of worsening skin disease, almost certain liver damage, now extreme weight-gain and hunger, and other diabetic-like conditions.

2. Immediate release of all recent blood test results to Mumia’s attorneys.

3. Vigilant monitoring of Mumia for signs of diabetes, especially of his blood sugar level, since a diabetes attack nearly killed Mumia last spring of 2015.

PHONE, FAX, AND E-MAIL THESE DEMANDS TO:
PA GOVERNOR, TOM WOLF
Phone: 717-787-2500
Fax: 717-772-8284 
E-mail: governor@pa.gov

PA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, SECRETARY,
JOHN WETZEL
Phone: 717-728-2573,  717-787-2500
E-mail:  ra-contactdoc@pa.gov 

MAHANOY PRISON, SUPERINTENDENT,
Theresa DelBalso
Phone: 570-773-2158
(You have to be transferred to her secretary, and she refuses to give out the fax number or e-mail for the Superintendent.  Not surprising, given that this new superintendent has a very heavy military background)

Following the great success of the Feb. 17 and March 3 days of action, join thousands of educators, students, parents and community allies on Wednesday, May 4, as locals mobilize again for the Public Schools and Colleges All Our Students Deserve.

The national day is organized under the Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools, linking parents, students, educators, school staff and community members in dozens of cities across the country.

The goal for May 4 is to show educators, parents and students, together, walking in to reclaim our schools and advocate for the public education all children deserve.Contact your regional office if you are planning a walk in for your district.

Fight for $15 Wisconsin

Big shout out to all the workers around the world who stood up with us in the ‪#‎FastFoodGlobal‬ ‪#‎FightFor15‬ family. These aren’t all the countries or workers involved, but it shows the huge scope of today’s events. See more coverage: bit.ly/for_15
