[grc] PSAs re Mumia medical crisis by Cornel West & Lynne Stewart

[Bob Lederer]

*** Please forward widely ***

Dear community radio colleagues,
I hope you can post and/or play one or, preferably, both of the attached MP3
PSAs. They are about the medical emergency facing Mumia. The text of both are
below.

* The first is about the National Day of Action this Fri., Apr. 10 called by
an ad hoc national coalition. It's voiced by Dr. Cornel West, recorded by me,
and edited and mixed by Bernard White of CPRmetro.org. It runs 65 seconds
(1.1
MB). If you use Audioport, you can also download it from
http://audioport.org/index.php?op=program-info&program_id=82093&nav=&

* The second is about the importance of calling the Pa. Corrections Secretary
to demand proper health care that Mumia has consistently been denied. It's
voiced by former imprisoned human rights attorney Lynne Stewart. Recording
was
made and mixed by WBAI's "Out-FM" producer John Riley. It runs 59.5 seconds
(1
MB). On Audioport: 
http://audioport.org/index.php?op=program-info&program_id=82017&nav=&.

The scripts for both are below.

Let me know if you have questions or problems.

Thanks,
Bob Lederer
WBAI/Pacifica producer, "Health Action"

P.S. If anyone is in the NY Metro area, I have a second variation of the
first
PSA that adds the time and place of the NYC rally (5-6:30 PM at 125th St. &
Adam Clayton Powell Blvd.).

*PSA: Urgent Phone Campaign to Stop the Medical Execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal*

This is Brother Cornel West. The life of my dear brother, brilliant
journalist, intellectual, and political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal, is in great
danger. Chronic medical neglect and malpractice by prison staff led to his
diabetic shock last week and continued denial of proper health care and diet
for his life-threatening illness. Join a National Day of Action to Stop the
Medical Execution of Mumia on Friday, April 10th. Meanwhile, keep calling
Pennsylvania officials to demand that he get treatment by specialists of his
choosing, the correct diet, and daily visits by precious family, friends, and
attorneys. For details on events near you and phone numbers of officials to
call, go to freemumia.com, prisonradio.org, or bringmumiahome.com.

*PSA: National Day of Action to Stop the Medical Execution of Mumia
Abu-Jamal*

This is Lynne Stewart. The life of brilliant journalist, intellectual, and
political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal is in great danger. On March 30, after
months of medical neglect, Mumia went into diabetic shock and was
hospitalized
with life-threatening high blood sugar. Just two days later, he was
transferred back to the same prison that failed to diagnose or treat him. His
diet is dangerous and his health is deteriorating. Only massive pressure will
stop his execution through malpractice. Call Pennsylvania Corrections
Secretary John Wetzel at 717-728-4109. Demand that Mumia be allowed treatment
by specialists of his choosing, the proper diabetic diet, and daily visits by
family, friends, and attorneys. For more on how you can act to save Mumia's
life, go to bringmumiahome.com.
