Help Needed ASAP / 30 years as political prisoner
From: JoNina Abron
Greetings,
The following is a request for help from former Black
Panther Party member Talibah Summra (84th & Broadway
office, Los Angeles, 1968-1971). The name is not
mentioned, but the political prisoner whom Talibah is
seeking to help is Romaine "Chip" Fitzgerald, one of
the longest held BPP political prisoners. As you may
know, Chip suffered a stroke a few years ago.
Talibah needs:
1. Volunteer law students or paralegals
who will research cases in California of people
convicted for the same crime about the same time that
Chip was convicted. The brother should have been out
long ago.
2. Names of attorneys to represent Chip, preferably pro bono.
3. Letters of recommendation when Chip next goes before the parole board.
If you can help or have suggestions, email Talibah at
And please spread the word to other former party members.
Peace,
JoNina
