Write To Save Berkman

Dr. Alan Berkman, M.D., is a political prisoner. He has worked for justice from joining the 1968 Columbia University rebellion, to giving medical aid at Wounded Knee, to testifying for tortured Black activists, to serving poor communities. He has paid a heavy price for this. He was the first physician criminally charged for treating a fugitive since Dr. Mudd was jailed for treating John Wilkes Booth. Berkman has served over five years of a 12 year sentence for his activities with a revolutionary group. Anyone else with his sentence and prison record would be out on parole by now.

Berkman is in a Washington, D. C. hospital jail, fighting for his life against cancer. The Justice Department tried to deny him medical treatment, and is now working to deny parole which is his only chance for proper care.

It is a life and death matter that you write to the U.S. Parole Commission and demand parole for Berkman. Address letters: U.S. Parole Commission, Att'n Irma Huseman, case analyst, Air World Center, Suite 200, 10920 Ambassador Drive, Kansas City, MO 64153.
