Moratorium Lobby Day
The Moratorium Now! Lobby Day brought about 150 to the State Capitol. Thanks to the ACLU, St. Louis had a free bus. Joe Amrine, Missouri’s first exonerated from death row, was the speaker. Joe challenged the increased involvement of African-Americans who are disproportionately represented on death row. The Moratorium Now! Coalition of 18 organizations will continue to give follow up on legislators. The Justice for Reggie Campaign is a part of the coalition and we will keep you updated, especially when we need you to take action.
Campaign 1515
As stated in previous updates, we are collecting signatures to recognized the 15th year of the Chain of Rocks tragedy. You can represent your family, your church, your organization or just yourself and collect 15 completed sheets of signatures for Reggie’s clemency. The deadline for turning sheets in is April 5. It is a good opportunity to talk about Reggie’s case and get support. If you are interested in participating in 1515, please let the campaign know now as we are planning something special for the participants.
Website Update
Reggie’s website is getting a makeover. Check it out.
