Orange Alert
Thanks to the US Supreme Court and Atty General Nixon, we are now in execution mode. The campaign must respond accordingly. We are increasing our efforts to get signatures for Reggie’s clemency petitions. We will start identifying events for supporters to get those signatures. We are also going back to meeting twice monthly in order to stay on top of all the activities that will need to be generated to save Reggie’s life. The campaign meetings are open to all, and will be held at the 2nd and 4th Mondays at 7 pm at the Rowan Community Center, 1401 Rowan Avenue.
Press Conference
The Campaign believes we countered the US Supreme’s Court ruling on lethal injection with our own view using Reggie’s case as the centerpiece. Coincidentally, Gov. Blunt called his own press conference to push legislation that would automatically give child rapists the death penalty. In retrospect, we are glad that we gave the media another voice. We also felt that generally the press coverage was decent.
The Color of Justice
Some of us were privy to a documentary screening of The Color of Justice which includes Reggie’s case of injustice. The crew is putting the final touches on the first in a series of documentaries. More on the documentary and how you can get involved later.
At the Death House Door
An independent film, At the Death House Door, will have a couple of showings around town. One will be at Life Victory Center, the home church of Bishop and Vera Thomas, Reggie’s parents. View the film and take part in the discussion on Saturday, May 10 at 1 pm. The church is located at 2922 N. Grand.
