ANTI-LYNNE ABRAHAM WEB SITE LAUNCHES DO-IT-YOURSELF ACTIVISM KIT

JusticeForPhiladelphia.Com has launched its “Do-It-Yourself Activism Kit”, it was announced today.

“The Do-It-Yourself Activism Kit is designed so that individuals and small groups can create their own campaigns to oppose the reelection of Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham,” said David Lynn, the site’s owner and Webmaster. “I have included several flyers, a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with the results of the 2001 Primary election between Abraham and Alexander Talmadge, broken down to the district level, U.S. Census Bureau map creation tools, and other resources.”

It is Mr. Lynn’s hope that individuals will use the resources on his site to act in an “ad-hoc” manner in creating their own spontaneous campaigns to oppose Abraham. “Anyone can use the site,” said Mr. Lynn. “There is no need to contact me in advance, or to coordinate with me or other individuals in any way.”

Recently, Mr. Lynn distributed flyers in the 7th division of the 39th ward where Lynne Abraham received 346 votes in the 2001 Democratic Primary. Mr. Lynn also distributed flyers outside Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, a focal point for African-American community activism. “The response was overwhelmingly positive in both instances,” said Mr. Lynn. “I look forward to doing more ’street-level’ work of this type, and I hope others will join me.”

The website, found at http://justiceforphiladelphia.com, is critical of Abraham. It examines issues such as Abraham’s “passionate” support of the death penalty and its cost to tax-payers; the 5-to-1 ratio of African-Americans vs. non-African-Americans sent to death row by Abraham since she became district attorney; an examination of whether prosecution decisions made on her watch are based on race; mistakes in prosecution that have had a tremendous financial and public safety cost to the citizens of Philadelphia; and questions about Abraham’s successful attempt to block the appointment of Common Pleas Court Judge Frederica Massiah-Jackson to Federal Court.

The Webmaster, David A. Lynn, recently gained national attention as founder of the Shadow Protest, http://www.shadowprotest.org.
