Troy Davis lives

This is probably going to be the last email/ blog post I put up about Troy Davis:

"Keeping the memory of Troy Davis alive means continuing the fight for human rights for all!

Last week, the state of Georgia may have taken the life of Troy Davis, but his memory, and the struggle for justice, lives on with us.

The story of Troy Davis inspired more than 1 million petitions -- including yours -- to be signed and delivered to Georgia officials.

Troy Davis' case broke barriers and sparked countless conversations in homes, online, on the streets, on the news and around the world.

The campaign for Troy Davis reached many notable leaders, celebrities, musicians and concerned groups alike, from former President Jimmy Carter to Joan Baez, from Pope Benedict XVI to Kim Kardashian, from Archbishop Desmond Tutu to former F.B.I. Director William Sessions.

And now the message of Troy Davis continues with you...

Your first steps with us have been ground-breaking -- re-shaping the death penalty debate for years to come. For that, we can't thank you enough.

We at Amnesty International want to stay in touch. We fight to abolish the death penalty, free prisoners of conscience, stop violence against women and ensure the human rights of all people. If you take no action, you will begin to receive messages from us on human rights issues.

But if you no longer wish to receive any email communications from us, then you may unsubscribe now.

However, please know that there are other Troy Davises on death row in the US right now. One of them is Reggie Clemons in Missouri. The case against Reggie is one with no physical evidence, two highly questionable witnesses - both of whom were initially charged with the crime - and a trail of alleged police coercion, misconduct from lawyers on both sides of the case, and sharp racial inequities.

Throughout October, we'll be bringing you more on Reggie Clemons' case and his fight for justice, but you can take action now to stop the execution of Reggie Clemons!

This is the kind of important work that lies ahead. This is why we want you standing strong with us.

We know this work has its obstacles, but that is why we need you! We hope you'll stick with us and be part of the movement that will abolish the death penalty once and for all.

In Solidarity,

Amnesty International USA

P.S. The funeral of Troy Davis will be held on Saturday, October 1st in Savannah, GA. It is open to the public. Get details on the arrangements or order your "I am Troy Davis" T-shirt to show solidarity during this official Day of Remembrance. "
