Thread👇
Marsha Coleman-Adebayo opens:
“Today…we want to lift up whistleblowers.
We want to lift up our political prisoners
because they have been criminalized by a criminal government…by a government that doesn’t respect human rights.” @nofearcoalition
#FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners
“Mumia Abu-Jamal, Leonard Peltier, Julian Assange
they all said ‘NO!’
You can keep your money because I am choosing my conscience...choosing…that I am a human being not a cog in the capitalist system. And for that they are being tortured”
Marsha Coleman-AdeBayo @NoFearCoalition
“What are we willing to do about the injustice that we see in America. What are we willing to do differently to invoke outrage and impress upon a system that clearly does not represent the will of the people! ... these men have sacrificed their lives.”
Kymone Freeman @WeActRadio
“Mumia Abu-Jamal, is one of our greatest journalists – liberation media, that we’ve ever had. And for that crime he has been incarcerated for 39 years - 30yrs in solitary[...] Let’s not leave here today without some empathy for our political prisoners"
Kymone Freeman @WeActRadio
"What has Julian Assange done but told the truth? Two of these political prisoners are journalists and the other is indigenous! [...] We can speak for them a little louder, until we do that we've not done enough. This is Kymone Freeman @WeActRadio Do something!"

.@LeonardoEFA on political prisoner Alex Saab, a Venezuelan diplomat kidnapped against all intl laws by the US for the "crime of feeding a country"...US waging economic war on Venezuela imposing cruel sanctions. "Sanctions never work - only hurt the poor and working-class people"
"Alex Saab spent 400 days in a prison in Cabo Verde - tortured, denied medicine, denied access to family & lawyers...kidnapped again by US to Miami...all because he is one of Venezuela's architects of economic policy to allow it to survive." @LeonardoEFA @codepink
#FreeThemAll

@POTUS @TheJusticeDept
"Today everyone around the world is upset because Russia invaded Ukraine...well in 1634 they did the exact same thing to my people right here where you stand! Over and over again...why? Because we are governed by the great law of peace."
Peter Brooks, Native American Activist
"Pontiac, Sitting Bull, Geronimo, Dennis Banks, Russell Means, and now Leonard Peltier. You live in an era when you can be part of Am Indian history...you cannot stand w/ those great men, but you can stand w/ this great man" #FreeLeonardPeltier
Peter Brooks, Indigenous Activist
"Freeing Peltier is the only decent thing you can do after stealing all the land, interrupting our trajectory into the future, destroying our...history. When is enough enough? [...] #FreeLeonardPeltier #FreeMumia #FreeJulianAssange! I am tired of hearing about it!" Peter Brooks
"Oh yes we can! Though we struggle so hard to mend this world that we live in - Oh yes we can!"
