Free Culture Radio neither promotes the use of any drugs nor condemns people for being involved in drugs. To the extent that drug use presents problems for individuals or society, those problems are made worse and more intractable when people who use drugs are treated as others and ignored, stigmatized, and even brutalized.

Out-FM from sister station WBAI
A nearly two-hour fund drive special with an exclusive interview with Mumia Abu-Jamal
a special two-hour, fund-drive edition of Out-FM, WBAI and KPFK's anti-racist LGBTQ-plus program. Youll hear Bob Lederer's exclusive interview with Mumia Abu-Jamal, the brilliant Black revolutionary journalist unjustly serving life in prison without the possibility of parole. It's the first time in Brother Mumia's almost 43 years in prison that he has spoken at length about LGBTQ issues in a public forum. Mumia will describe his decades-long evolution to open solidarity with queer and trans liberation.

In the interview, Mumia covered many fascinating topics, including a deep dive into the day-to-day functioning of the Black Panther Party. Just a few teasers:

In 1970 Black Panther Party (BPP) leader Huey Newton gave groundbreaking public support to the then-strong movements for womens and gay liberation, criticizing homophobia and calling for the BPP to build an alliance with both movements. At the time, Mumia was the 16-year-old Communications Minister of the Philadelphia Chapter of the BPP. A taste of what Mumia told me:

When you think about what Huey said about gay folks and lesbian and queer folks, I must be honest with you, it was not well received by members of the party....But as usual, this was Huey at his finest.

Mumia pays tribute to the women of the BPP, whom he describes as "the glory of the party, the hardest workers, the most disciplined members and leaders." In particular, he cites the key roles of former political prisoners Afeni Shakur, who (although not an attorney) brilliantly self-represented in the Panther 21 conspiracy frameup case -- all were acquitted -- and Ericka Huggins, a BPP leader who beat yet another conspiracy frameup, and whose husband, BPP member John Huggins, along with Bunchy Carter, were murdered in an FBI-induced plot. (Ericka, an out-queer woman who continues her lifelong community activism, has been a periodic guest on Out-FM.)

Mumia explains how his thinking has significantly evolved since 1991, when he responded to a letter from Queers United in Support of Political Prisoners (QUISP) about our then-upcoming lesbian/gay forum to support him, by writing, As a MOVE person, we see Heterosexual Hookups as natural and inherently right, while also thanking and encouraging us to hold the event (we did). This started a long-term dialogue with Mumia by LGBTQ activists nationwide that played a role in his later evolution.

Mumia cites the leading role of the late Delbert Africa, a member of the MOVE 9 (a frameup murder case) and political prisoner for 42 years, in arguing for support of the lesbian and gay community.

Dhoruba Bin Wahad, former Black Panther Political Prisoner

Mumia also mentions the public support for lesbian and gay liberation by yet another ex-political prisoner, former BPP and Black Liberation Army member Dhoruba Bin Wahad. (We'll play a short clip from Dhoruba's powerful 1991 speech at the above-mentioned QUISP event.)

Mumia speaks movingly about his first-hand knowledge of the "hell within a hell" suffered by gay and trans incarcerated men, mistreated by both staff and other prisoners. He mentions having witnessed attempted suicides.

Other components of the special:

A short clip from the film "Manufacturing Guilt: - A Short Film About Mumia Abu-Jamal's Case," by First Run Features.

Two of Mumia's audio commentaries, from 2000 and 2019, decrying the murders of white gay men and Black trans women, respectively, and putting both in the context of a violent, racist society.

A brief excerpt of a recent phone dialogue between Mumia and students who had organized various Palestine/Gaza solidarity encampments, where he answers questions about strategy and tactics to build a strong movement.

What's happening now with Mumia's legal case and the importance of movement organizing to free him and other political prisoners.

What you can do to help free Mumia and demand he (and all incarcerated people) get proper health care and nutrition while he's still held. (For more, visit bit.ly/MAJUpdates.)

“As a Queer Elder of many colors, I walk and live, love and thrive with the Grace, Wisdom and ongoing guidance of our Star Ancestors; the Wisdom passed onto me from Above and the medicine I have gained from the many teachers from all paths that have led me to my own wholeness and peace. I am grateful to offer their messages to us all-through the books that I am asked to write, the voice I still have to speak it into the winds and the spirit that still burns with the fire and passion of one who seeks to contribute to a new journey, a better dream for all women and consequently, for all our Human Tribe.

The urgency of the moment, the world that is at the precipice of a grand transformation has called me to join the hearts and hands of my sisters, who also find themselves being called to act in this NOW moment. Whatever I can do, whatever I can offer, it is my giveaway at this important time. There can be no greater call for me to answer in this season of my life.
The Next generations and those yet to be born require us all to help each other through the fear and intimidation of the FearCallers’ Dark Night of our Collective Soul and to collectively light the way toward the world all women deserve to live in-Free in Body, Mind, Heart and Spirit. Emancipated to own and to be herself; and sovereign enough to be a light in the darkness for another sister, that she too, can be free.”

US Blockade/embargo threatens Cuban electric grid
The devastation of Hurricane Oscar, which hit Cuba on October 18th, has significantly worsened the deep crisis of the island’s electric grid. The U.S. government and its media lackeys are trying to blame the socialist government for supposed mismanagement of the country’s power system, but the reality is that the biggest contributor to the situation is the U.S. blockade of Cuba.

On October 22nd, The People’s Forum published an open letter in the New York Times calling on President Biden to overturn the Trump administration’s anti-Cuba policies. Biden has 90 days left in his term to restore the Obama-era reforms and steps towards normalization that are desperately needed.
