They are wasting no time in their attempt to kill Troy Davis. Nor should we, in trying to save him. Please distribute this far and wide. Action: Write to Georgia's governor and particularly to the Parole Board, via http://www.amnestyusa.org. Write to the media and ask them to report about a crying injustice about to take place. Contact your political representatives (yes: even outside the United States) and ask them to intervene. The DA apparently wasted no time in going to court to get an execution date. We now have 12 days to make as much noise as possible about the injustices of Troy's case.

Urge Clemency for Troy Davis
Take Action On This Issue

Troy Davis is scheduled to be executed during the week of October 27 for the murder of Police Officer Mark MacPhail in Georgia. The Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal, despite a credible claim of innocence. 7 out of 9 witnesses have recanted, no murder weapon was found and no physical evidence linked Davis to the crime. The Georgia Board of Pardon and Paroles denied clemency to Davis -- we must urge them to reconsider their decision.
