This is from Amnesty International:
When I spoke with him a few days before his execution date, Troy Davis told me he has never lost faith in our movement to end the death penalty.
And now, the week after his funeral, the state of Georgia believes it is over. But we know it is far from over. We are still fighting and we will not stop until we have won, until we have wiped from this country forever a practice that does not stop violence but is violence, that does not serve justice but mocks justice.
In the next 3 months, there are 11 more executions already scheduled across the US.
Will you take action -- chant loudly, talk to law makers, and raise awareness -- to bring a new, more just, day to the criminal justice system in the US?
One way to help win this fight is to become a member of Amnesty International. Your membership helps keep our movement running -- supporting our work to end the death penalty, stop torture, end violence against women and protect human rights worldwide.
Become a member of Amnesty International today.
Memberships start at just $25, and the truth is that without membership contributions there is no Amnesty International. We are completely independent from government or corporate interests. The more funds and supporters we have, the greater our impact will be.
As Troy said in a message to Amnesty supporters, "The struggle doesn't end with me. The struggle is for all the Troy Davises who came before me and all the ones who will come after me. I will not stop fighting until I've taken my last breath." That's what Troy said to us, and now we must continue the fight.
Join us.
Sincerely,
Larry Cox
Executive Director
Amnesty International USA
