In common street slang, the term "slept on" implies much more than a restful slumber at night. When something has been slept on, then its significance has been disavowed and disregarded. Today, the relevance of certain issues, people, organizations, movements and events (presently and historically) lack the proper awareness and recognition warranted.
In short, to be slept on is to be ignored, marginalized, taken for granted and overlooked.
The term is more than fitting given that SleptOn's mission is to bring to the forefront those highly important issues, people and their efforts that rarely, if ever, grace the front pages, mainstream radio rotations or television news programs. In addition, SleptOn intends to empower and provide a voice for those whose interests, values and perspectives have been omitted from public discussion.
In our name, readers should be constantly reminded ... Don’t sleep on the struggle. Be a part of it.

Hello brothers, I've been an absentee chum. I had to replace my computer and debug everything right after re-working the entire site. If you guys have a spare moment in the near future I would love to see you guys. T-Max

Thanks for adding us. Your support is much appreciated.
What do you think of these newly discovered crime scene photos (viewed at Abu-Jamal-News.com)?
I have been personally contacting every media outlet I could find and still the mainstream media has completely ignored the story. Many independent media outlets have covered it, but the only independent outlet that has actually published one of the photos is the national Black newspaper, The SF Bay View (click here).
This is just the latest episode in a long history of corporate media bias (and arguably racism) towards Mumia and other political prisoners.
