Petition text:
We, the undersigned, call upon the New York City Council to not name any street within the city of New York after Mumia Abu-Jamal.

As the convicted murderer of a Philadelphia Police Officer in 1981, Mumia Abu-Jamal is not deserving of such an honor.

To name a street after an imprisoned killer of a civil servant is not only a slap in the face to the law enforcement community, but also the public at large.
