\u2022 Unfairly convicted by Philadelphia\u2019s racist injustice system in 1982 and sentenced to be executed.
\u2022 The people\u2019s movement forced the state to take him off death row in 2011 but he still faces Death by Incarceration.
\u2022 New evidence found in hidden boxes at the Philadelphia District Attorney\u2019s office in 2018 could prove his innocence.
\u2022 An October 19 court hearing may rule that Mumia has a right to reopen his case in Common Pleas Court to hear the new evidence.
\u2022 If so, the resulting court procedures could finally release him after 40 years behind bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unions Keep Up the Fight for Reproductive Healthcare for All!
Please join us\u00a0 for a special online event hosted by our friends at the Labor Committee for Single Payer to hear more about how union Medicare for All activists are leading the fight for access to reproductive healthcare in the post-Roe US:<\/h1>\n\n\n\nA panel of labor organizers from different sectors across the U.S. will be discussing
the critical issue of reproductive justice, in the wake of the Supreme Court decision
overturning Roe v. Wade.
–Sara Nelson (International President of AFA-CWA)
–Dee Dunn (BMWED\/IBT)
–Maggie Carter (Starbucks Workers United, Knoxville),
–Martha Valadez (News Guild, CWA Michigan)
–Rebekah Nelson (Minnesota Nurses Association)
Speakers will share:
–What unions have been doing in response to the Supreme Court decision
–Why it’s bad to rely on your employer for reproductive health coverage
–How single-payer \/ Medicare for All will cover not only abortion access but the broader scope of reproductive rights such as wellness visits, birth control, in vitro fertilization, and gender-affirming care.
The Campaign will be sharing resources for individuals and unions to use to help fight for these fundamental rights.<\/h1>\n\n\n\nHost: Labor Committee for Single Payer<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
