altMumia Abu-Jamal
The Community News Production Institute (CNPI) in partnership with Global Movement Urban Struggles produced a show on Tuesday, April 28 at 10AM on WBAI 99.5FM.

In this episode, we examine the impact of the economic downturn on non-profit and grassroots organizations; how Domestic Workers United are fighting for the passage of a Bill of Rights; and Willie Baptist of the Poverty Initiative talks about some of the many difficulties low-income New Yorkers are faced with during these times. We are also joined by Desiree Marshall, a member of the New York LBGTQ organization, FIERCE, to discuss the group's activities; and by Ramona Africa, a former jailhouse lawyer and the sole adult survivor of the 1985 government bombing of MOVE, to talk about the recent release of Jailhouse Lawyers, a book by Mumia Abu-Jamal
