Zolo Agona Azania Freedom Campaign

Zolo Azania is a politically conscious New Afrikan activist who awaits execution as a result of racist criminal justice system. The fact that he defined himself as a New Afrikan and was committed to the liberation and independence of New Afrikan people within the borders of the U.S. directly influenced the way the police, the prosecution, and the Indiana courts denied him a fair trial and fanned the flames of prejudice to obtain the death penalty.

Campaign in Support of C Number Prisoners

"C Number Prisoners" are those prisoners sentenced in Illinois before 1978 to indeterminate sentences; in other words, they have no idea when, or if, they will ever be released. Currently there is no criteria for parole, and the Prisoner Review Board can do what it wants. Unfortunately, the Board only released between 1% and 4% from 1978 until 2003. Since 2003, after several years of organizing and winning support for these forgotten prisoners, the Campaign has begun to change this.
