This decision was not because there was a lack of evidence on behalf of Mumia. On the contrary, they had plenty of evidence that Mumia was innocent. They rejected Mumia's appeal because of what Mumia represents. There is a war going on between oppressed people and oppressors. Prisons are being built at the same time as our schools are falling apart.
Police brutality is on the rise.
Our generation is the first generation in history to have our standards of living decline from that of our parents. Mumia is like a soldier on the side of social justice and equality for all people. That is why the reactionary forces of racism and exploitation are determined to take Mumia's life. There is more evidence being uncovered every day that Mumia is not guilty of the crime for which he sits on death row. But we can't count on the courts to give him justice because they want him dead for what he represents.
