I got this email from Amnesty International on Dec. 19, 2011:
Protecting Individuals at Risk
Dear Tracy,
Troy Davis
Troy Davis
1968 - 2011
You showed your passion for human rights when you signed the petition to stop the execution of Troy Davis. Tragically, the execution went ahead, and on Sept. 21st Troy was put to death by lethal injection.
As we come to the end of 2011, the state of Georgia believes this is over. But we know it is far from over. We are still fighting and we will not stop until we see an end to the death penalty.
Will you take action? Speak out loudly, talk to law makers, and raise awareness to bring an end to this ultimate denial of human rights.
One way to help us 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.

Your support is essential for us – the truth is, without membership contributions, there is no Amnesty International. We are completely independent of government or corporate interests. The more funds and supporters like you 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.
Please join us.
Sincerely,
Alex Neve signature
Alex Neve, Secretary General
Amnesty International, Canadian Section
