NATIONAL JERICHO URGENT CAMPAIGN!
Re: BASHIR HAMEED – HELP HIS WIFE VISIT HIM
To all Jericho chapters, allies and friends:
As you probably know, the health situation of political prisoner and former Black Panther Party member Bashir Hameed (s/n James York) is in crisis. As of June 25, Bashir had significant/visible blood in the urine and was told by the prison physician assistant at Comstock that he'd be sent to see a doctor today. Bashir, who had a coronary bypass operation about 18 months ago, has also had blood in his stool and has not received the colonoscopy he was scheduled for. Furthermore, Bashir's niece, Courtney York MD, saw him last week and was quite alarmed by the ongoing denial of adequate medical care for him. Efforts are underway to intensify the campaign for adequate medical treatment and transfer to a prison where he will receive better care. Bashir's wife Florence, who lives in Texas, is now planning to travel to New York in order to be near him. Florence is in need of financial support to make this trip, rent a car and secure a place to stay.
After receiving calls and making calls to several Jericho folks and old-time comrades of Bashir's, we (National Jericho's co-chairs) are asking folks to help Florence Walker (Mrs. Bashir Hameed) by contributing whatever $$ you can to the kitty. We want to lighten as much of her $$ burden as possible. If you can do this with "urgency," as we don't want to take any chances procrastinating around Bashir's condition, folks can send a check to:
FLORENCE WALKER
Note/memo: For Mrs. Bashir Hameed
You can address it to:
Florence Walker
c/o Yasmin Sutton

Corona, NY 11368
Yasmin is a long-time comrade of Bashir's from the Corona branch of the Black Panther Party who works closely with Jericho and for Bashir for years. She will be able to deliver checks to Florence immediately due to the fact that Florence will be in New York. Yasmin will also keep a copy and total of all checks sent for records.
Under pressure, we will come through for our Freedom Fighter. We are coming through NOW.

I'm sending off my check tomorrow! Asante sana for the info and staying on the case for the race!

You are always so supportive of our freedom fighters' struggles! These bros. and sis. are so neglected that we all have to know how incredibly meaningful any small donation anyone can send would give, if unable to donate financially, even a letter or a postcard would at least let them know that someone knows that they yet live and breathe!
Asante sana, Bro.AK!

I'm glad you bumped this. I've been walking around with the check but haven't put it in the mailbox yet. Too much going on getting ready to go to Ghana. We must support because hand go and hand come. Stay BlackNificent and please do continue to inform the Kmtyws here. We never know who might come across the info and decide to make a major difference in the lives of our Kmtyw brothers and sisters.
We've got a vision for the AkobEn Call to Action campaign. It's just in the infancy stages now, but we're looking to post worthy things for Kmtyws to support 365 instead of the monthly format from back in the day. I'll keep you informed about how the ideas are coming in case you would like to be a part of the works here.
