Supporters of political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal are calling for urgent action as his health takes a serious decline and he continues to battle the state for his life. Mumia, who will turn 70 next month, has been unjustly incarcerated for over 41 years, where he has spent the majority of time in solitary confinement while on death row in Pennsylvania. Noelle Hanrahan, Founder and Director of Prison Radio, joins the show to discuss the latest call to action to free Mumia and the international movement to get justice for the revolutionary journalist and Black freedom fighter.
BreakThrough News is building the media arm of the movement. We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
Think to yourself, is this article something that would be published anywhere other than BreakThrough?
Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
Working-class people deserve better, we deserve media for and by us. We are not funded by billionaires or corporations – we are funded by you. Without you, BreakThrough would not be possible, so become a member and build the media arm of the movement with us.
