Write to Lynne Stewart Today!
Action Alert
We urge you to take a moment to write Lynne Stewart.
Flood the prison with letters to make sure she hears our support!
Lynne Stewart #53504-054
Federal Medical Center, Carswell
PO Box 27137
Ft. Worth, TX 76127
For three weeks Lynne's mail has been held (I guess no one told the FOP that tampering with mail is a federal crime).
This comes right after she recently got a 45-day hit -- no commissary, no visiting, no phone calls.
Lynne just had major surgery and is recovering well, but the harrassment and injustice continues.
What did Lynne do to deserve this hit? She simply helped another inmate with her legal papers and sent them to the outside for safekeeping.
Please take a moment to pick up a pen and write a quick message of solidarity to Lynne! Every letter makes a difference.
As many of you know Lynne Stewart is the soul of the earth; sweet, warm, and she makes a mean apple pie. She is a wonderful and dedicated civil rights attorney who was targeted by the Justice Department and given a 10 year sentence for her uncompromising defense of her clients. She has stood up for many political prisoners, and now in her time of need, lets stand with her. Towards Justice and freedom for Lynne Stewart!
I will never forget the day Lynne was in my office, reading for Prison Radio and interviewing Mumia. She recited a quote from Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas from which I continue to draw inspriation.
As nightfall does not come all once, neither does oppression. In both instances there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of darkness.
-U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas

20 Years of Fighting for Justice and Freedom!
On August 23rd, 2012, Mumia filed a petiton to challenge his sentence.

"I stand as one of many Americans who believe that there is tremendous value in Mumia Abu-Jamal's voice being heard. I and others will fight to make sure that both his voice and his body are free." - Noam Chomsky
Talking to university instructor and photographer Jennifer Beach yesterday, I mentioned how short we are on funds for phone, printing, and research costs. Her response had me bursting with laughter. "But Noelle, you always knew this was impossible."
Was it impossible? Can we continue to sustain the lifeline of resistance that is Prison Radio? I believe we can. Is our fight to bring prisoners' voices into public discourse worth it? I think emphatically, YES!
Let me ask you to do three things.
Keep reading, keep listening, keep rumbling. Spread the World.
Make our work possible with a gift of $35, $250, or $1000.
See Long Distance Revolutionary, the ground-breaking documentary on Mumia Abu-Jamal debuting soon.
We Have Fought to Bring His Voice to Life.
Twenty years ago, in July of 1992, Jennifer Beach and I traveled from California to the State Correctional Institution Huntingdon in rural south-central Pennsylvania to record Mumia Abu-Jamal on death row. This recording session became Mumia's first Prison Radio broadcasts. His voice began to re-emerge and reach the airwaves again. Prison Radio (and our supporters) gave him the microphone and he resumed his brilliant broadcast career.
With your help, over the past two decades, we have nurtured, promoted, and amplified Mumia's brilliant and poignant critiques. We have witnessed his growth and evolution from reporter to world-renowned public intellectual. In the tradition of Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, and Arundhati Roy, Mumia shines a penetrating light on the myths of American history as well as the repressive realities and nature of America's imperialism and exceptionalism. As Cornel West states in Long Distance Revolutionary, "Mumia forces us to come to terms with the depths of the crisis and how…you create some awakening."
We are giving voice to other political prisoners in the US as well. In the past four months we have recorded Sundiata Acoli, Sekou Odinga, Jaan Lamaan, Bill Dunne, Mutulu Shakur, Kevin Cooper, Mike Davis Africa, Rashid Kevin Johnson, Delbert Africa, Siddique Abullah Hassan, and Eugene Thomas. We have also recorded statements by supporters of Leonard Peltier, Lynne Stewart (Mumia recorded her words), and Tom Manning (read by Ray Levasseur). In addition to our work with prisoners, we continue to offer a platform to activists and artists working and creating around issues of mass incarceration.
Join Professor Chomsky in supporting the work of Prison Radio. Together we can build a more peaceful and just world.
Luchando por la justicia y la libertad,
Noelle Hanrahan, Prison Radio
P.S. We just received a commitment to match each gift given until September 7th. Now is a great time to give. Every dollar counts!

We Need Your Support
The fight for justice is a constant struggle and we cannot do it without your help. Your gift keeps the voices of prisoners alive on the airwaves and internet. Please consider a donation of $35, $250, $1000, or whatever you can afford.
Prison Radio's mission is to challenge unjust police and prosecutorial practices that result in mass incarceration, racism, and gender discrimination. We do this by bringing the voices of men, women, and kids into the public debate and dialogue on crime and punishment.
Our radio broadcasts help spur the public to examine core issues that create crime and heighten disenfranchisement. Our educational materials serve as a catalyst for public activism, strengthening movements for social change. Prison Radio's productions illustrate the perspectives and the intrinsic human worth of the more than 7.1 million people under correctional control in the U.S, and those not served by the justice system
