Week of Witness for Troy Davis
Tomorrow, Tuesday, Day of Witness for Troy Davis

Friends,

The US Supreme Court is expected to decide whether or not to hear Troy's case on June 25, making their decision public in the days following. In preparation for that, Amnesty Int'l and NAACP have called for a Week of Witness for Troy Davis to be held next week, from Friday, June 19 to Friday, June 26. The intent is to keep the public spotlight shining on Troy's case during this critical time.

And thanks so much, in advance, for the help you've all already put in. The community's committment to this case has been truly inspiring.

***

We need everyone who cares about Troy Davis and innocence to do whatever they can to persuade DA Chisolm to reopen Troy's case. Be as creative as you can in getting his attention and, above all, speak in your own voice. Tell Chisolm from your heart why he needs to intervene.

We encourage you to make one-to-one contact with him whether it be through faxing a personal letter, email, phone call, video message, or a personal visit with Chisolm.

The most important thing is that you contact him and do it Tuesday. If you simply do not have time to send your own message, there are many time-saving and easy options available:

It is imperative that Chisolm understands that Troy's case is important to people across the spectrum and that TROY'S INNOCENCE is the ISSUE! Troy cannot afford to have that message diluted. So, please speak in your own voice and deliver your message to Chisolm directly.

Email, Fax and Call Attorney General Eric Holder

From Michael E. Ross, West Coast journalist and a frequent contributor to The Loop, The Root and PopMatters:

What can Holder do?

It’s here that Holder can scrutinize the conviction of Davis, a former coach with the Savannah Police Athletic League, and the prosecution’s speculation on why a citizen would suddenly go from incidental contact with the police to murdering an officer.

It’s here that Holder could demand an inquiry into why most of the eyewitnesses have changed their stories.

It’s here that Holder could demand a civil rights investigation into the claims by those prosecution witnesses who allege police coercion.

It’s here that Holder’s Justice Department can consult with Boleyn and other Georgia prosecutors to discover why there’s apparently been no consideration of Coles’ alleged private claim of culpability for this crime — or why Boleyn thinks such an admission isn’t trustworthy but the implication of another man is.

It’s here that, because a possibly innocent man may die because of Georgia's willingness to ignore what could exonerate him, Eric Holder can stand again on principle.

“In the interest of justice.”

Email, Fax, and Call Attorney General Holder:

You can make make your letter and comments personal, just please have these points:
Ask him to check into Troy Davis' case because he is being denied access to courts due to Anti-terrorism Bill; that he was sentenced to death based on eyewitness testimony with no DNA, no weapon, no physical evidence; 7 out of 9 eyewitness have recanted and 9 further witnesses were never heard in any court of law; exculpatory evidence was omitted in all stages. The state's case has fallen apart, Mr. Davis has faced execution 3 times, and if the US Supreme Court does not take case he may face execution a 4th time, because he is being denied access to courts due to procedure and technicality.


To email the Attorney General: mailto:AskDOJ@usdoj.gov.
To call: (202) 514-6255 toll-free at (877) 218-5228
(another number given by another source is: 202-353-1555 )
To Fax: (202) 514-0212 or (202) 514-6273

peace~

This is exactly why we fought off King George. This is why there is a Constitution. How we will have fallen if we fail true justice.

I am afraid. But I have guarded hope. There is good in this world. We are, after all, on this planet in space. A speck of dust in the universe. All we have is each other. More than most people realize.

so very well, Gregorian.

you always show up. please know my, our gratitude.....


peace and solidarity, always

I'll use the pullpit of "It Can't Just Be Me.." to talk about Bro. Davis.
