Free Ajamu Bandele (aka Orlando Gibson) Campaign

As many of you are aware, our brotha and comrade, Ajamu Bandele, aka Orlando Gibson has been held captive by York County Prison since his arrest on October 29 2008. InPDUM has been engaged in a campaign to free Ajamu as we have recognized since day one that this was an attack on Ajamu's right to organize in York, PA.

On October 29, 2008, Ajamu bandele (aka Orlando Gibson), president of the York branch of the International People's democratic Uhuru movement was arrested on fabricated drug charges, InPDUM has been waging a relentless campaign to free Ajamu Bandele from the clutches of the York County prison. The York City administration has it's interest in keeping Ajamu Bandele in prison because of Ajamu's work that he was doing on the ground exposing the culture of corruption in York.

President of InPDUM-York, Ajamu faught hard and struggled against the 222 Corridor Initiative - a federal government "anti-gang" campaign that waged an outright attack on the democratic rights of African and Latino community. As part of the struggle, Ajamu and the other York City organizers launched the "222 Catch 22" Campaign in direct opposition to the State's 222 Corridor Initiative. Having gained significant media exposure throughout Central Pennsylvania, the InPDUM-York's 222 Catch 22 Campaign throughly cemented Comrade Ajamu into position as an increasingly formidable leader in the battle to end the public policy of police containment imposed on the African working class masses of York.

It was InPDUM's-York's work under Ajamu Bandele's leadership that made him a target of the State. Comrade Ajamu is being railroaded for no reason other than because he is the embodiment of the Uhuru Movement, fullfilling his responsibility to organize the colonized African working class of York, to the great detriment of the State and the white ruling class it serves!
