<span style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">To our friends at AWARE</span>,<br><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">Greetings.</span><br><br style="font-family:times new roman,serif">
<span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">As you likely are
aware, Troy Davis faces execution in Georgia on Wednesday, September 21.
Amnesty International has called for an International Day of Action for
tomorrow, Friday, September 16. Amnesty, the NAACP, the ACLU, members
of Troy's family, members of the Campaign to End the Death Penalty,
including exonerated Illinois death row inmate Darby Tillis, and
thousands of others, will march and speak out in Savannah and Atlanta, and around the world,
tomorrow.</span><br style="font-family:times new roman,serif">
<br style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">Closer
to home, members of the Campaign to End the Death Penalty, the
International Socialist Organization, and other groups are taking action in Urbana-Champaign. </span><br style="font-family:times new roman,serif">
<br style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">Petitioning has been on-going for the past week. </span><br style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br style="font-family:times new roman,serif">
<span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">On Friday, September 16,
we will hold a "Rally for Troy Davis" at 12:00 Noon at the Alma Mater
statue at the corner of Green of Wright, on the UIUC campus, as a part
of the International Day of Action.</span><br style="font-family:times new roman,serif">
<br style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">We will continue to petition and contact the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles this weekend and into next week.</span><br style="font-family:times new roman,serif">
<br style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">On
Wednesday, September 21, we will hold a "Speak Out: No Death Penalty!
Save Troy Davis!" event at 5:30 pm, again at the Alma Mater statue at
the corner of Green of Wright, on the UIUC campus. Troy is set to be
executed at 6:00 pm Urbana time, and we feel it is vital that we stand
in solidarity with Troy, no matter the outcome of his clemency hearing,
and to either celebrate or victory or to make known our outrage at the
injustice carried out.</span><br style="font-family:times new roman,serif">
<br style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">We
would appreciate it if you could let your members and friends and comrades in struggle know about these
events. I have attached the leaflets and other information to this
email. We would also like to have you join us at these events, or help with petitioning and organizing calls to Georgia.</span> <br style="font-family:times new roman,serif">
<br style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">Further,
we would like to have a representative of AWARE to speak for a few
minutes at either or both events. Allow me to apologize for the short
notice of tomorrow's event. There has been a great deal to organize and
we have not always been as efficient as we need to be.</span><br style="font-family:times new roman,serif">
<br style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">If you would like to discuss the details a bit more, please call me at <a href="tel:319-530-0119" value="+13195300119" target="_blank">319-530-0119</a>.</span><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"></span><br style="font-family:times new roman,serif">
<br style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">Below
I will paste in the various contact information for the officials in
Georgia, so that your members can call, or write over the next few days.</span><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"></span><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"></span><br style="font-family:times new roman,serif">
