Director of Corrections

U.S. Court of Appeals Nos. 01-9014, 02-9001 (death penalty)



Dear Friends:



Oral argument in the case of my client, Mumia Abu-Jamal, will be on May 17
before a three-judge panel in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit,
Philadelphia.  The issues concern the right to a fair trial, the death penalty,
and the political repression of an outspoken journalist.  Racism and politics
are threads that have run through this case since the beginning.  We are engaged
in extensive work in preparation for this complex hearing.



Many people have called my office and sent e-mail asking how they can make
contributions to the defense of Mumia.  Concern has been expressed as to how to
ensure that donations go to the right organization so that they are actually
applied to the legal effort rather than for some other purpose.



To contribute directly to the legal defense of Mumia, please make your check
payable to the "National Lawyers Guild Foundation."  All such donations are tax
deductible to the full extent provided by law.  The NLG Foundation is a
tax-exempt, nonprofit charitable organization under Internal Revenue Code
Section 501(c)(3).  Donations should be mailed to:

Committee To Save Mumia Abu-Jamal

P.O. Box 2012

New York, NY 10159

Your interest in this struggle for human rights and against the death penalty is
appreciated.



With best wishes,

Robert
