This Thursday May 26th 2016

It is expected that during the month of June 2016 The Pennsylvania Parole Board  will release a decision in regards to whether The Move 9 Sisters will be granted or denied parole . Really this Government has already made the decision in regards to parole for our sisters and they are now stalling to release the decision due to the pressure they have on them in regards to the unjust and continuing imprisonment of MOVE Political Prisoners . We have to keep the Pressure on The Pa Parole Board And Pa Governor Tom Wolf  over this issue of our family being illegally denied parole . We are calling on all people interested   In freedom and justice to stand in solidarity in demanding parole for The Move 9 Sisters this Thursday May 26th 2016 .

From 9:00 am  to 12 Noon  Call , Tweet , Fax , and Email The Office Of Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf

The Demand is clear and has not changed we want the immediate parole of Janet (Holloway) Africa 006308 , Janine (Phillips) Africa 006309 , and Debbie (Sims) Africa 006307 .

This is a matter that we are not backing down from and will continue to make an issue of this and to keep the pressure on the Parole Board and Governor . Our sisters were never even charged with weapons charges when convicted in 1980. All three of our sisters were given the recommendation of their institution on various occasions at least 99 Percent of the time when an inmate is recommended for parole by the institution they are in they are paroled by the board but not when it comes to our sisters and brothers of The Move 9.

Went to parole hearing, all 3 of us. It went good, as far as we're concerned. between the three of us, we got to talk, put out a lot of MOVE Belief from what started May 20th that lead to Aug. 8. To what our belief is about, to how MOVE DONT, DONT HATE COPS. In fact a lot of cops were very supportive of MOVE during the May 20 confrontation, would listen to Move people talk about our plight, for hours and understood Move... The interviewees were Ms. Lebenne in person, and Mr. McCray, on the TV screen,who were very unantagonistic. That aint no word, I don't think but, you get my meaning. They were not antagonistic at all, which made it easier to deal with all the way around, especially with tomorrow being May13. We all felt satisfied that we did good. LLJA

The Move 9 Sisters Will See The Parole Board This Thursday May 12th 2016

We Just Received word tonight that Janet , Janine , and Debbie Africa will be seen by The Pennsylvania Parole Board this Thursday May 12th 2016 . As usual The Pa Parole are trying to give yet another quick and short notice for these parole hearings as they have done in the past with Debbie , Delbert and Eddie Africa . This is done as a result of the pressure they are under over this issue and THEY KNOW THE EYES OF PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE WATCHING . We already know they have been given their orders by The Fraternal Order Of Police but we as the people have our own job to do and that's to BRING OUR FREEDOM FIGHTERS HOME TO THERE FAMILIES .

Also we want to point out yet another example of The Mental Games of the parole board as they have decided to give ours sisters their long awaited hearing the day before The 31st Anniversary Of The May 13th 1985 BOMBING AND MURDER OF ELEVEN MOVE MEMBERS SIX ADULTS AND FIVE CHILDREN . Two of The Children in that house on May 13th 1985 were The Children of Janet and Janine Africa . The Pennsylvania Parole Board has shown another level of callousness and how low they truly are . This is just another tactic by this system to try and hurt our Family but thanks to THE TEACHINGS OF THE FOUNDER AND COORDINATOR OF THE MOVE ORGANIZATION JOHN AFRICA OUR SISTERS JUST LIKE OTHER MOVE PEOPLE ARE STRONG AND WILL NOT BE SWAYED BY THIS TACTIC LONG LIVE JOHN AFRICA FOREVER !!!!!.

People's Organization For Progress Supports Parole For The Move 9 Sisters

Re:Parole Bids for Debbie Africa (006307),

Janet Holloway Africa (006308) and Janine Africa (006309)

 

Dear Members of the Parole Board,

The People’s Organization for Progress, a social justice organization in New Jersey, respectfully wishes to implore you to grant the women of MOVE parole for both humanitarian reasons and in the interests of justice.

 

Debbie Africa (006307), Janine Africa (006309) and Janet Holloway Africa (006308) have been in prison since 1978, or 38 years each.

 

They have been model prisoners. They pose no threat to society. For these and other reasons, especially to need to move past the heavily biased circumstances that landed them in prison in the first place, it is our expressed view that these women should be paroled and allowed to return to their families.

 

Sincerely,

 

Lawrence Hamm,

Chairman

Greetings,

 

The Malcolm X Commemoration Committee, an International NY based Human Rights Project, wishes to join the chorus of humanitarian voices from around the world imploring the release of the MOVE women, Janet Holloway Africa (006308), Janine Africa (006309) and Debbie Africa (006307), on parole at the prescribed time.

 

We believe that these women, who have been model prisoners and who have each served 38 years, should be released for humanitarian reasons and in the interests of justice.

 

It is clear that these women could not have killed Officer Rapp on that fateful day in 1978. His death was tragedy that appears to have more a consequence of an accident, or of what would now be called ‘friendly fire.’ To have these women and the other MOVE prisoners to continue to languish in prison is to clearly and wrongheadedly bind us all to the polarizing biased environment that triggered that incident and others like it both before and after that fateful day. We say that the time for healing, tolerance and reconciliation is now.

 

For these reasons, and in the interests of justice, we implore you to grant them their release upon parole now…

 

Respectfully,

Zayid Muhammad, MXCC press officer

Janet , Janine , and Debbie Africa In Solidarity With The Palestinian Struggle

Even though we have been in prison for over 37 years, we have never and will never give up the fight for freedom. Our fight is your fight because we want all of life to be free from the restricting confines of this system that causes so much pain and suffering.

We feel the tide is turning in the right direction every time we see groups of people working together for the common good of all living beings.

The power is in the people and the people have to realize this and use this power to free life, protect life. Life is the force that keep us alive.

Stay strong and we’re doing the same.

Janet, Janine and Debbie Africa - for all the MOVE prisoners
