[Peace] TOMORROW (Mon.): Lethal Injustice: Standing against the Death Penalty and Harsh Punishment

[Julien Ball]

Friends,

There has been a slight change to tomorrow's program. Darby Tillis, Illinois' first exonerated death row prisoner, will be unable to make it tomorrow. However, we are expecting a live call-in from a Chicago police torture victim via speakerphone. I encourage everyone to come out...


Lethal Injustice: Standing against the death penalty and harsh punishment
Monday, March 7, 5:30 PM
Greg Hall R. 223 (southwest corner of the quad)
 
 






 
A speaking tour organized by the 
Campaign to End the Death Penalty to look at what’s behind our massive 
prison build-up, why so many people of color are locked up and what we 
can do about it.  

 From death rows to super-maxes, over 2.3 
million men and women sit behind bars today. "Lethal Injustice" speakers
 are organizing on the front-lines of the fight against criminal 
injustice, taking a stand against the racist prison build-up and harsh 
sentencing. 

This national speaking tour will be 
featuring panelists including, exonerated prisoners, family members, 
activists, lawyers and scholars.
