Tampa, FL—The first week of the free speech trial of African People’s Socialist Party Chairman Omali Yeshitela, Penny Hess and Jesse Nevel left observers shaking their heads and asking how the government has dedicated 30 FBI agents over the course of three years, conducted military raids on peaceful U.S. residents, offered a $10 million reward for information and still has no case. Here is the most recent update about what happened in court: FBI Lead Investigator Exposed.
The Uhuru 3 are asking their supporters to call in to the Department of Justice and the White House. Here are the phone numbers & the script:
To the DOJ: (202) 514-2000 or (202) 353-1555
Hello. My name is Your Name from City, State. I am calling about Case No. 8:22-cr-259-WFJ-AEP in Florida. The case attacks the First Amendment rights of Omali Yeshitela, Penny Hess, and Jesse Nevel. It is therefore an attack against my First Amendment rights, and the charges must be dropped. This is an attempt by the Department of Justice to criminalize speech, and it seems the only crimes committed here are by the FBI and the DOJ. I will continue to take action in order to uphold the rights guaranteed in the Constitution. I am calling my representatives and asking them to speak against these unlawful charges, as well. Thank you for your time.
To the White House- call 11am-3pm Tuesday-Thursday (202) 456-1111

It is therefore an attack against my First Amendment rights, and the charges must be dropped. This is an attempt by President Biden and the Department of Justice to criminalize speech, and it seems the only crimes committed here are by the FBI and the DOJ. I will continue to take action in order to uphold the rights guaranteed in the Constitution. I am calling my representatives and asking them to speak against these unlawful charges, as well.
