This evening, Wednesday, September 21, 2011, Troy Davis is scheduled to be executed.
For more action, and a possible vigil in your area, go to the NAACP: here.
The NAACP is doing a strategic, last minute, petition drive to the District Attorney.
Chatham County District Attorney Larry Chisolm is the man who requested the death warrant against Troy Davis. He’s the glue that holds the case together and, even after today’s news, he remains in a unique position to petition the judge to withdraw the death warrant against Troy. It’s a long shot, but it’s Troy’s best hope.
Please, our last hope is to change the heart of District Attorney Chisolm. Sign today, and we will make sure that every name is hand delivered to his office:
