Hands off Chairman Omali Yeshitela and the Uhuru Movement!

To everyone who believes in freedom for oppressed peoples, to those who defend human dignity, this is an appeal to defend a leader for all people, Omali Yeshitela, leader and founder of the Uhuru Movement and Chairman of the African Socialist International.

Following the shooting of St. Petersburg, Florida cop David Crawford on February 21, 2011, the U.S. government used local, regional and federal armed forces to impose a military occupation on the African community. Crawford’s death was preceded by the shooting deaths of two other St. Petersburg police on February 21, 2011.

Although he had nothing to do with the deaths of the three cops, Chairman Omali Yeshitela has been targeted by the U.S. government in a COINTELPRO-style counterinsurgency attack following these shootings. To carry out the attack on the Chairman, the police and U.S. government are using their white nationalist mouthpiece, the violent shock jock known as Todd “Bubba the Love Sponge” Clem. For nearly two weeks the Sponge used his daily radio show to call for the assassination of our Chairman Omali Yeshitela and violent demands for assault and mayhem directed at the Uhuru Movement and the African community as a whole.

William Warner, a private investigator in Sarasota, Florida has attempted to mobilize his white nationalist minions against the Chairman and the Uhuru Movement with rabid, threatening anti-African invective.
