The ProLibertad Freedom Campaign's New Campaign In solidarity with the National Boricua Human Rights Network's (NBHRN) new campaign to ask for parole for Oscar Lopez Rivera, one of our two Puerto Rican Political Prisoners, ProLibertad has started an online petition to pressure President Brack Obama to give Oscar parole or to commute his sentence. We are asking all freedom loving people to support both the online petition, which will be sent to President Barack Obama once we have reached our goal of 10,000 petitioners, and to support the letter writing campaign by the NBHRN. Our letters and online support will help us bring one of the longest held political prisoners home! Both campaigns are important! We must use all avenues available to help win parole/commutation for Oscar. Sign our petition: http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Parole4OscarLopezR/ and send a letter out: http://boricuahumanrights.org/ "Agitation, organization, resistance, struggle and love are the ingredients that will guarantee us VICTORY!" -Oscar Lopez Rivera, Puerto Rican Political Prisoner For more information on Oscar Lopez Rivera and to write to him: http://www.prolibertadweb.com/id40.html Save the date: ¡BOMBA Y PLENA PA’ LOS PRESOS!

Come and have a great time as we celebrate Three Kings Day and the 68th birthday of Puerto Rican Political Prisoner Oscar Lopez Rivera with: The incredible BombaYo: BombaYo emerges from the streets and schoolyards of the Bronx, where salsa and hip hop were born. Under the direction of Jose L. Ortiz aka Dr. Drum and Melinda Gonzalez, this group of teens brings youthful energy to a centuries old Afro Puerto Rican music and dance tradition. BombaYo starts from within. At the core is a connection to the soul, where drum and dance become one. African inspired call and response singing complete the synergy. And the amazing poetry of: The Powerful Bonafide Rojas Nuyorican Poet/Activist Papoleto Melendez For more information call ProLibertad: 718-601-4751
