Colin Kaepernick Demands Freedom for Renowned Prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Activist and former professional football player Colin Kaepernick has
come out in support of freeing renowned political prisoner and
journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal. Kaepernick posted this video online.

Colin Kaepernick: "A political prisoner, who has since the age of 14
dedicated his life to fighting against racism, continues to be caged and
lives his life on a slow death row. We're in the midst of a movement
that says Black lives matter. And if that's truly the case, then it
means that Mumia's life and legacy must matter."
