Amnesty International’s Global Write-a-thon, (the largest worldwide letter writing campaign) is scheduled for December 4-12, 2010. This annual event brings activists around the world together in order to do one simple thing for justice, and that’s writing a letter in support of an Individual at Risk.

This year among the 12 cases being highlighted is Reggie Clemons. In addition to letter writing at the 5th anniversary of his Campaign, AI will also hold a letter-writing event. Details are being finalized. Meanwhile, you can jump start the letter writing by following this link: http://www.amnestyusa.org/writeathon/caseindex.php?i=12

Enjoy your holidays with family and remember the families of murder victims and those incarcerated. During this time, remember the plight of indigenous people in this country and the myths around Thanksgiving.

Campaign Update - Week of 11/8/2010

Amnesty International’s Midwest Regional
Steering Committee member Reddick Hudson represented the Justice for Reggie Campaign at AI’s recent regional gathering in Detroit. Reddick’s passionate presentation apparently touched a justice chord in those who attended and generated lots of positive responses.

5th Anniversary
The Justice for Reggie Campaign kicked off five years ago. We will recognize that milestone and re-commit ourselves to the continued struggle for Reggie’s freedom. Please mark your calendar for December 15. Details to follow.

Venue for Clemency Petitions
The Church of God in Christ 103rd Convocation will be held in St. Louis November 8-15. An estimated 45,000 people are expected to convene at the Convention Center and will be a good place for collecting signatures. If you are interested, please let us know as soon as possible.

Conviction
If you have not seen this movie yet, we encourage you to do so. Conviction is based upon the true story of Kenny Waters who was unjustly convicted of a 1980 murder in Massachusetts. With only a GED, Betty Anne Waters took on the long journey to law school and with the support of the Innocence Project, eventually freed her brother. The movie shows the impact of the death penalty on families, a community and the judicial system. Not covered in the movie but becoming an issue by her family is Katharina Brow which murder remains unsolved.
