Final Push for Troy Anthony Davis - Georgia People especially
My cousin in Atlanta just put this on Facebook. ?I've never even heard of this story, but it's heartbreaking.
?
Hello. As many of you know, Troy Davis is scheduled for execution at 7 PM tomorrow (Tuesday, September 23rd). In these last few hours before then, it's critical that we do all we can to get the word out, and make our objections known! If you are unfamiliar with the situation, please visit?http://www.troyanthonydavis.org/. Below are some ideas for action for people who live in Georgia and for those who do not.?
1) Call the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles and the Georgia Attorney General's Office! Huffington Post put up an article this morning with working numbers for both of these offices. Call, give your name and state of residence, and briefly explain why you object to this execution. Focus on the specifics of this case, not general opinions about the death penalty as a public policy.
BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLES: 404-657-9350
GEORGIA ATTORNEY GENERAL: 404-656-3300
2) Are you a journalist? Write about Troy. Do you Blog? Write about Troy. Do you have a blogging friend/sister/dad/boyfriend/neighbor? Or, better still, are they on network news? You get the picture. Get them writing and talking about Troy!
3) Call the Warden (770-504-2000) and tell him to allow Troy Davis to contact and see his witnesses. According to Martina without warning today, the Warden informed Troy that he will not be able to see his witnesses moving forward. This is a break in protocol and cannot be allowed to stand. Please tell the Warden that he has a world of eyes on him and that he needs to permit Troy to see his witnesses as the law allows.
4) Attend the vigil at the Capitol at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, September 23rd.?
5) Attend the events at the Jackson prison where Troy is scheduled to be executed on Tuesday, September 23rd.?
