JOIN US AS WE MAKE THE NYC MARATHON 2005 ALL ABOUT POLITICAL PRISONERS!!

A statement fromm Angel Gonzalez:

Let me hear from you, Familia y Amigos:

On Nov. 6, I am running the New York City Marathon. I will run to raise awareness about Mumia Abu-Jamal and the Cuban 5. They are six political prisoners, who suffer unjustly in US jails and desperately need our support.

Mumia is a renowned African-American activist and journalist who was been jailed since 1981 for allegedly shooting a police officer. Evidence points to his innocence and to racist manipulations throughout his trial. We cannot allow our political leader to remain in jail! Mumia must not be executed. Join the broad international movement calling for Mumia's freedom. Please read more at www.mumia.com .

The Cuban 5 have been unjustly jailed in the US since 1998. The Cuban 5 worked to expose Cuban Miami-based person organizations by documenting their plots to plant places in Cuba and other countries. The Miami-based person groups in the past have end and injured hundreds with explosives in hotels and planes. The US government has refused to prosecute those exposed Miami persons and instead has protected those persons! For their heroic work, the Cuban 5 were ironically persecuted and were jailed for the outrageous charge of "espionage conspiracy". This past August, the Cuban 5 won an appeal for a new trial, BUT they still remain in jail and continue to be cruely denied visits from their family members. The Cuban 5 must be freed. Please read more at www.freethecuban5.com .

You can help Free Mumia and Free the Cuban 5 by pledging for my marathon run. Your check can be made out to either of these support organizations:

For Mumia, checks are made out to "NBUF" with a memo saying for "Mumia Organizing".For the Cuban 5, checks are made out to "IFCO-The Popular Education Project".Checks written in my name will be divided evenly between these organizations.

Send your pledges to me at: Angel F. Gonzalez 3977 Sedgwick Avenue #18 C Bronx, New York 10463

The training has been rough ... BUT ... for this important cause, I will try to go the extra mile. (At 53 years, it ain't easy!)

With your pledge, you can help carry me across the finish line. Your generosity will help to promote my t-shirt message, FREE MUMIA & FREE THE CUBAN 5, throughout the 26 miles in New York City and among thousands on November 6.

Thank you.
