NEW YORK — Dozens of people joined an energetic rally and petitioning effort in Jackson Heights, Queens, Aug. 30 to build support for the fight to free Puerto Rican independence fighter Oscar López, framed up on charges of “seditious conspiracy.” It was organized by 34 Mujeres NYC x Oscar, which holds a 34-minute protest — one minute for each year López has spent in U.S. prisons — on the last Sunday of every month in neighborhoods around the city. Many people stopped and took a flier. Two young women looked López up on their phones, signed the petition and left chanting, “Free him now!”
