4. Friday, 3:00pm (PT); 6:00pm (ET) Online Press Conf. Mumia needs Medical Treatment to Prevent Permanent Blindness
Register: Webinar Registration – Zoom
Political Prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal is at risk of permanent blindness. His eyesight is deteriorating at an alarming rate and requires immediate medical treatment, or he will permanently lose his sight. A virtual press conference at 6pm EDT on Friday, Aug. 29 will focus on Mumia’s condition and inquire as to why the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections is delaying his treatment.
It started 8 months ago. 8 long months of worsening eyesight to the point of him being declared legally blind in a recent doctor’s appointment. The gravity of this situation is more tragic by its preventability and the refusal of the prison medical complex to adequately address his medical concerns. This delay is highly consequential and could be the difference between whether he regains his sight or whether this becomes a permanent and life altering disability. Mumia is suffering from post-cataracts and diabetic retinopathy in both eyes. He also has glaucoma. We must act quickly and decisively to protect our vulnerable comrade.

Info: https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/815313//
The billionaires continue to wage a cruel war on working people, with their cronies in the administration, ICE and law enforcement backing up their attacks. This Labor Day we will continue to stand strong, fighting for public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, shared prosperity over corporate politics.
Working people built this nation and we know how to take care of each other. We won’t back down—we will never stop fighting for our families and the rights and freedoms that ensure access to opportunity and a better life for all Americans. The billionaire’s time is up.
On September 1st we will continue the movement we launched together on May 1st, standing in solidarity with all our communities under attack and fighting for real wins for all our people.
In thousands of communities around the country we encourage you to take a stand with us on Labor Day. On the streets, outside the offices of the corporate criminals who are behind the attacks on our freedoms and at congressional offices. Together we will demand a world that works for all of us.
OUR DEMANDS TO BUILD THE SOCIETY WE ALL DESERVE:
Stop the billionaire takeover and rampant corruption of the Trump administration.
Protect and defend Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs for working people.
Fully funded schools, and healthcare and housing for all.
Stop the attacks on immigrants, Black, indigenous, trans people, and all our communities.
Invest in people not wars.
Please note: A core principle behind all our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
