Poster printed with black and red ink on white paper. Text at top reads, "Stop the Legal Lynching / Let the Evidence Be Heard / Massive Nonviolent Civil Disobedience." A photograph of Mumia Abu-Jamal fills the lower right side of the page. Mumia is sitting in a chair wearing a white t-shirt. He has long dreadlocks and his hands are handcuffed. Text opposite the image begins, "U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco and the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington D.C. / Monday, February 28, 2000, 8:00 AM / U.S. Court of Appeals, San Francisco (Mission @ 7th Street, near Civic Center BART.)" Several paragraphs under the headline, "The Time is Now" talks about how Mumia, "?has been on death row in Pennsylvania for 18 years after being wrongly convicted of killing a police officer," and calls for "peaceful mass civil disobedience to demand that the federal court hear the facts and grant Mumia a new and fair trial." Information on dates and locations for civil disobedience trainings are listed. Participants and endorsers are listed at bottom right in small print.
