Statement from Ramona Africa on 40th Anniversary of Mumia’s Capture

Ramona is the MOVE Organization Minister of Communication

ON THE MOVE!

MUMIA HAS BEEN UNJUSTLY IMPRISONED FOR 40 YEARS TODAY BECAUSE HE REPORTED THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS SYSTEM’S ATTACK ON THE MOVE ORGANIZATION AND FOR HIS UNWAVERING COMMITMENT AS THE VOICE OF THE VOICELESS! THIS SYSTEM TOOK EVERYTHING FROM MUMIA, HIS PRESIDENCY OF THE BLACK JOURNALIST ASSOCIATION, HIS RADIO SHOW ON THE NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO STATION, HIS COLUMN IN THE TRIBUNE, THEY EVEN TRIED TO KILL MUMIA! BUT MUMIA STILL DIDN’T GIVE INTO THIS SYSTEM’S TERRORISM. MUMIA’S COMMITMENT TO THE TRUTH IS WHY JOHN AFRICA, MOVE IS COMMITTED TO HIM! THE MOVE ORGANIZATION IS DOING ALL WE CAN TO GET MUMIA RELEASED.

WHEN PHILADELPHIA OFFICIALS CAME TO US ABOUT THE DESECRATION OF WHAT THEY SAY IS THE REMAINS OF OUR FAMILY AND ASKED US WHAT COULD THEY DO TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION, WE TOLD THEM WE DON’T WANT AN APOLOGY, PROPERTY OR MONEY. THOSE THINGS WILL NOT GIVE OUR FAMILY BACK TO US BUT IF THEY WANT TO SHOW US THAT THEY ARE SINCERE ABOUT RECTIFYING WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO MOVE, THEY CAN RELEASE MUMIA! AND OUR POSITION HAS NOT CHANGED! THE MOVE ORGANIZATION IS COMMITTED TO BRINGING MUMIA HOME AND WE WILL NOT BE DIVERTED FROM THIS.

THESE OFFICIALS WANT TO MAKE MUMIA, ALL OF US WORKING TO FREE MUMIA, FEEL THAT THINGS ARE HOPELESS BY DENYING ALL HIS APPEALS. THIS IS THE SAME TACTIC THEY USED WHEN THE MOVE 9 WAS IN PRISON. ALL OF THEIR APPEALS WERE DENIED AND DENIED PAROLE 8 TIMES! MOVE, NONE OF THE PEOPLE FIGHTING FOR THE MOVE 9’S RELEASE FELL FOR THIS TRICK. EVERYBODY KEPT WORKING DESPITE HOW HOPELESS THINGS APPEARED AND LONG LIVE JOHN AFRICA THE MOVE 9 CAME HOME! WE CAN DO THE SAME FOR MUMIA IF WE STAY A UNITED FRONT. THE MOVE ORGANIZATION AIN’T GONE STOP UNTIL MUMIA IS RELEASED! THE POWER OF TRUTH IS FINAL! FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS! LONG LIVE JOHN AFRICA!

THE MOVE ORGANIZATION

ONA MOVE Y’ALL!

THIS IS YOUR SISTER RAMONA AFRICA, MINISTER OF COMMUNICATION FOR THE MOVE ORGANIZATION. FIRST I WANT TO THANK ALL MY WARRIOR SUPPORTERS AND FRIENDS WHO HAVE STOOD BY ME THESE LAST HARD 4 YEARS. I’M FEELING STRONGER AND READY TO FIGHT! DECEMBER 9th MARKS MUMIA’S 40th YEAR OF IMPRISONMENT! THIS ROTTEN-ASS REFORM SYSTEM IS ATTEMPTING TO ISOLATE MUMIA AND MAKE HIM FEEL HOPELESS, THEY MUST FAIL AND WILL FAIL AS LONG AS WE ALL MOVE TOGETHER AS ONE TO BRING OUR BROTHER MUMIA HOME WHILE BREAKING THE SHACKLES ENSLAVING ALL OUR IMPRISONED, INNOCENT FREEDOM FIGHTERS! I’M ONA MOVE AND STAYIN’ ONA MOVE!

RAMONA AFRICA
