The nation-wide campaign is underway to gather signatures of the full-page ad of educators in the New York Times, demanding that Mumia Abu-Jamal's execution be stopped and that he receive a fair trial.
A diverse group of educators have come together to launch this ad campaign. They include:
* Jonathan Kozol * Toni Morrison * Rudolfo Anaya * Marty Hittelman * Leslie Marmon Silko * Cornel West * Sonia Sanchez * Howard Zinn * Manning Marable * Frances Fox Piven * Angela Y. Davis * Noam Chomsky
Their appeal about the importance of signing this ad, together with the text of the full-page ad, can be found at
