Despite rain and cold, around 50 protesters gathered by the Octavius Catto statue by Philadelphia City Hall on Dec. 9, for a rally and march marking the 43rd anniversary of the state’s unjust and illegal incarceration of Pennsylvania political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal.
Several speakers addressed that the struggle to free Mumia and other political prisoners coincides with the upcoming battle of progressive activists against the reactionary administration of Donald Trump, which threatens more state terrorism.
The demonstration marched a short distance to the offices of Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner where speakers called on the DA to do the right thing for Mumia by granting him long-denied freedom. They addressed the racist police, judicial and prosecutorial misconduct that resulted in Mumia’s incarceration, despite ample evidence of his innocence, and the unjust ruling in May 2023 by Common Pleas Court Judge Lucretia Clemons who refused to consider new evidence found in the case.
Protesters then took to the streets to march to 13th and Locust streets where Mumia was arrested and brutalized on Dec. 9, 1981, and unjustly accused of the murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner.

Philadelphia - With demands printed on large individual banners, over a hundred people rallied at Constitution Hall, hearing statements from activists, from letters of imprisoned immigrants and finally from city and state political leaders. The whole group followed up with a spirited march to the Ben Franklin Bridge, where they blocked the entrance to the bridge connecting Philadelphia, PA to Camden, NJ for over 30 minutes during rush hour. Police then arrested 13 activists (their bodies chained and locked together) who refused to leave the bridge entrance in protest of President Biden's anti-immigrant policies.

When I crawled up onto this wall to get this shot, the protesters cheered. I didn't think anything of it...
I soon found out that every protester that climbed upon this wall, was dragged down by the Capitol Police and arrested...
