"Law An Attack On Free Speech"  (http://www.philly.com/philly/opinion/inquirer/20150204_Law_an_attack_on_free_speech.html)

Check out the brilliant new Op Ed "Law An Attack On Free Speech" 2/4/15 in the Philadelphia Inquirer by First Amendment lawyer Carey Shenkman. (click on link above)

After you read it please Take action - forward it to friends, post on facebook. Get the word out.

a) Write a letter to the editor at the Inquirer. These are prominently placed and if short and to the point can be a great education vehicle. Inquirer.Letters at phillynews.com; mailed to Readers Editor, The Inquirer, Box 41705, Philadelphia, PA 19101; or faxed to 215-854-4483

b) go online and post a comment. The haters are certainly going to put up a lot of nonsense, lets get in there and tell the real story and lay some facts on them.

As John Edgar Wideman said " “If Mumia Abu-Jamal has nothing important to say, why are so many powerful people trying to kill him and shut him up?”

Here is my online post. And I am crafting my letter to the editor now. "This is a very valuable perspective rarely heard in the Philadelphia Papers! Bravo to Mr. Shenkman, the Amistad Law Project and the Abolitionist Law Center for taking up this free speech cause. Take a listen to Mumia Abu-Jamal, Kerry Shakaboona Marshall, and Bryant Arroyo - brilliant voices from inside Pennsylvania prisons that need to be heard in the public debate and dialogue. www.prisonradio.org.

** Abu-Jamal v. Kane Update, Oral Arguments Scheduled
------------------------------------------------------------

On February 26th, Prison Radio attorneys Bret Grote from the Abolitionist Law Center & Nikki Grant and Ashley Henderson from the Amistad Law Project  will be advocating that Judge Conner issue a preliminary injunction prohibiting Pennsylvania's Attorney General and Philadelphia's District Attorney from using the Silencing Act to censor Plaintiffs' speech. We want to put an end to this illegal statute before it can be used to intimidate, silence, and punish those who raise their voices against this system.

***Stay tuned for time and courtroom number***

Federal Bldg. & U.S. Courthouse
228 Walnut Street
Harrisburg, PA 17101
