Celebrate International Hands Off Assata! Day
Published Jul 14, 2005 8:43 PM
The U.S. government has raised the bounty on Assata Shakur, now living in
exile in Cuba, from $150,000 to $1 million. This courageous sister’s
supporters in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago are offering testimonials to
her life with meet ings, teach-ins and on-line editorials.
For people in
the New York area, there will be a Community Teach-In at St. Mary’s
Episcopal Church, 521 W. 126th St., between Amsterdam and Broadway, on July 16
from 4-7 p.m. Take the #1 train to 125th Street.
Organizers invite people
to “come support and learn about Assata, her case, why the U.S. government
is after her, the cases of other political prisoners, and the Cuba
connection.”
