April 24th marks the 59th birthday for internationally acclaimed journalist and political prisoner Mumia Abu Jamal who has spent 30 years on death row for a crime he didn’t commit. Last year his death sentence was commuted to life in prison, but we are clear, life in prison is not justice. Mumia is innocent. We want his immediate release.
