Friends,
We apologize for an earlier message that was sent incomplete. The corrected message is below.
Despite significant doubts about the guilt of death row prisoner Troy Davis, Georgia has scheduled him for execution on Sept. 21 -- unless it is stayed. That's where you come in.
This execution is not inevitable!
Contact the Georgia pardon board
Please sign Color of Change's letter to the Georgia pardon board -- which alone now has the power to stay this execution.
This is particularly important for residents of Georgia -- the pardon board needs to hear your voices!
Additionally, you can call the Georgia pardon board at (404) 656-5651 -- be sure to mention if you're a Georgia resident.
Help fund advertisements in Georgia
Because the Pardon Board is most likely to be swayed by voices of Georgia residents, ColorOfChange.org is soliciting donations for advertisements in Georgia.
If you are able, we encourage you to donate to support this initiative.
Leadership from people of faith
Finally, the Fellowship of Reconciliation has joined People of Faith Against the Death Penalty and Amnesty International in sending a letter to the Georgia pardon board from faith leaders.
If you are a faith leader, sign the letter to the Georgia Pardon Board.
If you are a member of a faith community, encourage your leaders to sign the letter.
Troy Davis has already been scheduled to be executed three times, and each time his execution has been stayed amid doubts concerning the impact of numerous witness recantations and new evidence against another suspect.
We encourage you to take action now and help us stop an execution.
Mark C. Johnson, Ph.D.
