Reclaim the Dream
Concerned individuals and groups have launched the Reclaim the Dream campaign to re-assert and re-interpret Dr. Martin Luther King’s vision for the world. As you have seen, there have been many who have used his name while they made decisions, policies and laws that are destroying not just the dream but real lives. The Justice for Reggie Campaign supports this effort. Why? Dr. King was categorically opposed to the death penalty. If alive, he would be right here supporting Reggie’s case. Yet, there will be politicians and civic leaders showing up at King events who support the death penalty and who are also responsible for undermining the quality of life for poor and working classes people. These were the people that Dr. King fought so hard to lift up.
Organizers are asking that people meet at 9:30 am in Keiner Plaza (across the street from the Old Courthouse) for a pre-rally to the official Dr. King program and march on January 21. The Justice for Reggie Campaign has been participating in the local King march for the last two years as a contingent. We use Reggie’s banner to help people find us. This year, the Campaign will join the Reclaim the Dream so meet us at Keiner Plaza that morning. See you on Monday, January 21 at 9:30 am in Keiner Plaza. Look for the Justice for Reggie banner.

Nurse of Death
Some of you have already keyed in the Post Dispatch’s second expose’ on those who have been responsible for administering lethal injection. We now see that Missouri is using a criminal to assist with executions. For others who missed it, we have included a link to that revealing article which appeared in the Sunday Post.
